I had an idea for a DS9 movie. I considered writing it out but didn't in the end because it reminded me too much of the B5 film "A Call to Arms." Since then, virtually every plot point I was unhappy with has turned up in the Nemesis screenplay. Seriously - I'd go into details but this is a spoiler-free thread.

Found a place to watch it at $ 4.90. Now, who can beat that?

Spoilers for DS9 finale $ $ $ $ $ $ I always thought a DS9 movie dealing with the return of Sisko would be cool. It could take place 5 to 10 years after "What you leave behind". Sisko's child would have been born. Kira might be dealing with a new Starfleet captain assigned to the station. Maybe Bajor has joined the Federation. There would have to be plot relavant to Bajor and large enough for Sisko to come back and intervene.
It'll never be a big screen movie. But perhaps a two-hour television movie would be possible. Doubtful... not with Enterprise on the air.

Would they take her back though? More to the point, to mention another B5 film, "Thirdspace" was set back during the show's run but was shown after, and it just didn't work. That has a lot to do with it not being very good, but all the same one had a sense that it didn't really matter anymore, we'd all moved on from the mid-4th season when it was actually set.

I don't know if something set during the series would work. DS9 wasn't really set up like B5. There doesn't seem to be alot of room for a movie with any far reaching consequences.
Now... you could have something set between seasons... for instance, while Sisko was moping on Earth, Kira and the crew could've done something amazing that was all wrapped up by the time we caught up with them at the beginning of the 7th season. Perhaps the events that lead to Kira's promotion.
You could do the same thing between seasons during the early part of the war. There could be a wartime story that is self contained. They'd really have to work to come up with a story that tied into anything later on in a meaningful way, though.

There seemed to be a bit that happened between Season 3 and Season 4... What about the 3 months we never saw between Call to Arms and A Time to Stand?

A Time to Stand is the one that opened with all the half destroyed ships, right? If that's the one you're talking about, then, yes... I agree there is room for some stories there. but I'm still going to say that they probably couldn't have much to do with anything that happened later on in the series. I just don't think that would work out too well. They'd have to be fairly self contained stories.

Actually, the DS9 books set after the series' end would make for a great movie (at least TV Movie) all by themselves! I certainly would like to see some follow up on TV! A two hour movie for TV would be great, inexpensive (aside from the actors, the already have everything)and would pull in ratings between seasons of Enterprise (where UPN shows die a lingering death)!
....and having Worf visit could push Nemesis on DVD!

A TV movie would cost as much as a real movie. And almost none of DS9's sets continue to exist. They packed away the Defiant's bridge, and used it a few times on Voyager, but I suspect it may have been struck with the rest of the Voyager sets.
