Gross and Altman’s ‘The Fifty-Year Mission’ quotes producers at DS9 complaining that they can’t find actresses who could look good and act. Not actors, but specifically actresses, and they were referring to Terry Farrell, who I honestly think does a fine job.
I enjoy DS9, including its faults. Yes, ‘Profit and Lace’ is just an awful hour of TV, but then you get plenty of good ones… Duet, In the Pale Moonlight, It’s Only a Paper Moon, and any one where Garak kills a Cardassian for the helluvit!
I was one of the backers of this documentary! 🙂
