Where No Woman, we need to talk... ABOUT SOME BADASS FRIGGIN' LADIES. Specifically, those of Deep Space Nine. I watched some of DS9 when I was a kid and always liked it, but for some reason I wasn't a dedicated viewer like I was with TNG, so after years of threatening to do so I'm finally watching DS9 as it should be seen: by an adult capable of understanding political plots, and on the lookout for rad female characters.

I highly recommend you all schedule this awesome awesome Trek in to your lives, and here present a multimedia argument to lure you in, with screencaps courtesy of Trekcore:

FEMALE GUEST STARS OF DEEP SPACE NINE
LOOKIT 'EM
(through episode 2.10 only; no significant spoilers)

Note: Many of these characters were one-shots who appeared in episodes centered around them and did not appear again -- as much as I love Kira and Dax, the lesser-known women of DS9 need attention too!

( heavy on images and awesome ladies! )
