An overall view of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine done to Jackson Browne's two songs, "The Load Out" and "Stay," put together as they were on tape rather than separated as they are now on CD.

[mairdie]

Have to admit I wish there had been more Ferengi and Garak spy stuffs, and less Bajoran. Never did understand what they were trying to get at with the Bajoran spiritualism.

Thanks for the reminder, Warthog.

JACKSON BROWNE LYRICS
“The Load-Out”

Now the seats are all empty
Let the roadies take the stage
Pack it up and tear it down
They’re the first to come and last to leave
Working for that minimum wage
They’ll set it up in another town
Tonight the people were so fine
They waited there in line
And when they got up on their feet they made the show
And that was sweet...
But I can hear the sound
Of slamming doors and folding chairs
And that’s a sound they’ll never know

Now roll them cases out and lift them amps
Haul them trusses down and get’em up them ramps
‘Cause when it comes to moving me
You guys are the champs
But when that last guitar’s been packed away
You know that I still want to play
So just make sure you got it all set to go
Before you come for my piano

But the band’s on the bus
And they’re waiting to go
We’ve got to drive all night and do a show in Chicago
or Detroit, I don’t know
We do so many shows in a row
And these towns all look the same
We just pass the time in our hotel rooms
And wander ‘round backstage
Till those lights come up and we hear that crowd
And we remember why we came

Now we got country and western on the bus
R and B, we got disco in eight tracks and cassettes in stereo
We’ve got rural scenes & magazines
We’ve got truckers on the CB
We’ve got Richard Pryor on the video
We got time to think of the ones we love
While the miles roll away
But the only time that seems too short
Is the time that we get to play

People you’ve got the power over what we do
You can sit there and wait
Or you can pull us through
Come along, sing the song
You know you can’t go wrong
‘Cause when that morning sun comes beating down
You’re going to wake up in your town
But we’ll be scheduled to appear
A thousand miles away from here

People stay just a little bit longer
We want to play — just a little bit longer
Now the promoter don’t mind
And the union don’t mind
If we take a little time
And we leave it all behind and sing
One more song—
Oh, won’t you stay just a little bit longer
Please, please, please, say you will
Say you will

Oh won’t you stay
Just a little bit longer
Oh won’t you stay
Just a little bit longer

And the promoter don’t mind
And the roadies don’t mind
If we take a little time
And we leave it all behind and sing
One more song

what a cheap show. It was like Love Boat- they wanted a show where they could reuse the same set over and over. When they lost their audience they had to throw in the Defiant ship but ships go places and see new things (sets) so it was too pricey to keep going. I couldn’t stand that show.

[mairdie]

I didn’t like it when it was on the air. Having the boxed set got me into it enough that I got addicted. And there’s always the fast forward button, of which I’m exceptionally fond. I loved the Ferengi shows.

[smokingfrog]

It’s like a sci-fi soap opera, but I enjoy watching it for the most part.

[longtermmemmory]

could be worse, could be lost in space star trek voyager with captain mrs. columbo.

[mairdie]

I bought Voyager but can’t get myself out of the first few disks. Did anyone watch Lost in Space after graduating from Captain Video? I did get the Captain’s secret decoder ring. Old enough to remember Space Cadets and Flash Gordon. Wild about Quark (the ST parody, rather than the DS9 Ferengi).

[brucedickinson]

oh my god her voice was so effing abrasive. So dykey. I could never stand watch an entire show and I love science fiction.

[mairdie]

Question: Someone from FR is putting a down arrow on every song I post. I’m assuming that they feel that posting these conversations on TV shows is inappropriate, even though they often flow into politics. If that’s the case, I’ll stop, of course. I enjoy the conversations here about TV shows because I’m a conservative in what is usually a liberal bastion and it’s fascinating to be able to hear conservatives talk about the shows. Should I stop?

[Raymann]

Are you kidding? Best Trek ever! And it went seven seasons and had a planned (and magnificent) ending. The show was always planned to move beyond the station on occasion, they put the setting next to a freaking wormhole to the other side of the galaxy for christs sake.
