I like DS9 because it was slightly darker and the crew could actually be hurt (though not die, really).

Unless they had spots around their ears and neck, and were really fine...

She didn't really die, she was the character chosen specifically because she could 'come back'.

Which is anoying.

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
And as you know, these are open forums, you're able to come and listen to what I have to say.

Except that they went and established that Ezri is not Jadzia.

(Also, Ezri's cuter. I'm on the wrong damn planet. Again.)

The characters are near identical except for minor superficial differences, it's a major cop out, they killed a character so they can say "hey we play hardball, we kill characters!" and then to all intents and purposes they bring her straight back.

Ohh Joss killed Wash, but his brother who looks almost exactly the same, except for long hair and a beard is here to take his place. He wears T-Shirts instead of Hawaiian shirts, he's not quite as good a pilot as Wash, but he can also shoot a gun, and his jokes are a little more off colour.

But they're different characters really, honest, see look this one has a beard.

Star Trek has killed off one (count 'em, one) character whose actually stayed completely dead, but she didn't, they got cold feet and kept coming up with more and more ingenious ways of making her not dead any more, alternate timelines, she had a half Romulan daughter. Star Trek has an unwritten law: "Thou shalt not have real world consequences" so they come up with ridiculously ingenious ways to show real world consequences without having real world consequences.

Oh, please let me join in on the FIREFLY/VOYAGER interactions.

Jayne I think would be assigned to Tuvok, since he's the closest thing Serenity has to a security officer. But after five minutes of conversation with him, Jayne would be livid and ticked off at Tuvok's calm, logical dealings. Kind of like the arguements Bones and Spock would have on the original series. Later, Jayne would try to hit on 7 of 9, which would fail on so many levels.

As for Wash, I think he'd skip out on the holodeck to either have round after round of Romulan Ale with Paris or show him up in a flying competition or a combination of the two. And Zoe's stoicism would match better with B'Elanna than Kaylee's optimism.

And a scene between Simon and The Doctor would be comic gold.

Someone should write a FIREFLY/VOYAGER crossover. I'd do it, but seeing as how my own story has been developing over a year and a half, maybe I'm not the best one to do it.

Jadzia: Confident, hyper-competent to the point of Mary Sue-ism, adventurous, in love with Worf, no real pre-series "family" beyond Benjamin.

Ezri: Young, insecure, fresh out of the Academy, not entirely comfortable with the memories of Dax's prior hosts, can't always control the voices in her head, struggling with her feelings for Worf and Julian, comes from one of the few dysfunctional families in Star Trek(*).

Ezri also got some really cool development in the post-DS9 novels:

Select to view spoiler:

She re-evaluated her Starfleet career, shifting from science to command track, and she's broken up with Julian.

(*) AFAIK, the only other dysfunctional families belong to Spock (he and his father hadn't spoken for >70 years when Sarek died), Picard (who feuded with both his father and brother, only to leave things unresolved when his brother's family died in a fire), Data (his brothers are evil and stupid, respectively), B'ellanna Torres (blamed her mom for dad walking out), and Tom Paris (his feud with his dad was resolved by the end of his series). And Odo, depending on your definition of "family" ("dysfunctional species?").
