DS9 is my all time favorite TV show, and I can answer questions on virtually any aspect of it, from on-screen information to behind-the-scenes material. If you go to www.memoryalpha.com, and go into any DS9 episode, look at the 'Background Information' section. Chances are I wrote most of what's there, especially on episodes from season 3 onwards.
I watched DS9 when it first aired. I've got all the episodes on DVD and have watched them all three times. I've watched all the special features on every DVD. I've read the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion cover to cover. I'm active on Memory Alpha, the most comprehensive Star Trek site on the internet.
I have a BA in English and History, an MA in English, a Diploma in Film and Video Production and I'm currently in the final year of my PhD in English.

Hi James, You could try asking the others if they know anything about all the shows. I'm great on DS9, okay on TNG and TOS, but I know next to nothing about VOY or ENT. Anyway, to answer your questions
Hi David, Well, I don't know exact figures, but basically, yeah, you're right. DS9 did have a relatively small budget. I know that towards the end of its run, TNG had a budget of $1.5m an episode. TNG
You know, that's a really good question. You're right, Starfleet don't pay their people, so the Starfleet personel wouldn't be able to pay Quark. The question isn't addressed on the show itself, and
Hi David, Well, there's no definitive answer to that question, but the general consensus is that the makers of the show just wanted to maintain an air of mystery. Do you remember one specific episode
No, you're right, it shouldn't have been a debate, as the same principal would apply - he could change to look like a computer, but he couldn't literally turn into a computer - where would the power come
