Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Summary
Star Trekactors say thatStar Trek : Deep Space Ninehas more fire thanStar Trek : Voyager , and not just in term of the dramatic tenseness , but quite literally . Voyagercertainly has its fair ploughshare of pyrotechnics during its Delta Quadrant journey , butDeep Space Ninehas more reasons for fire to run a part in its scripts . Thecrew of DS9deals with vernacular miscreants , undercover agent , and malefactor , while torpedoes rock the USS Defiant and planets late in the throes of the Dominion War . The final episode ofDS9season 1 , " In the Hands of the prophet " , even concentrate on around a turkey threat at the DS9 place ’s school .
However , Star Trek : Deep Space Nineseason 1 , sequence 15 , " Progress " , seesMajor Kira Nerys ( Nana Visitor ) take a torch to the home of an elderly Bajoran man cite Mullibok ( Brian Keith ) , in an effort to convince Mullibok to give Bajor ’s moon , Jeraddo , before drilling for resourcefulness provide the moon uninhabitable . It ’s a bold move , especially after Kira spends most of the sequence appealing to Mullibok ’s supply ship side , but Kira and Mullibok are equally stubborn . Mullibok insists he will remain on Jeraddo"as long as that bungalow brook " , so put down Mullibok ’s household is the only elbow room to keep Mullibok from die on Jeraddo once the drilling starts .
A breakthrough Bajoran hero , Major Kira Nerys ' discharge in Star Trek : Deep Space Nine was one of the most nuanced in all of Star Trek .
The Difference Between Voyager and DS9: “We’re Pyros”
DS9 gives new meaning to the term “hot set.”
OnThe Delta Flyerspodcast , Star Trek : Voyageractors and host Garrett Wang and Robert Duncan McNeill discuss the plot and behind - the - picture information of " Progress " withStar Trek : Deep Space Nine’sTerry Farrell , who fiddle Lt . Jadzia Dax . Kira ’s thorough pyrotechnic presentation late in the sequence comes as a surprise to the actors , in particular Wang . record their quotes below and listen toThe Delta Flyers , bulge at the 1:06:40 prison term legal tender :
Garrett Wang : " To show the remainder between Voyager and DS9,never once in seven old age did anybody on Voyager torch anything . "
Robert Duncan McNeill : " That ’s a circle of fervour . "
Terry Farrell : We ’re pyros . "
Garrett Wang : " It was nerve - wracking , watching that scene . "
Robert Duncan McNeill : " I conceive it was a VFX - sweetening , they probably had some flack there . "
How Star Trek Shows Used Fire
DS9 used fire safely, and as part of the plot.
When scripts require fire force , Star Trekeffects artists employ the utilisation of live flames as well as VFX enhancement , and in some cases , both methods , as McNeill suggests onThe Delta Flyers . Outdoor , on - location sets are often used in the interest of safety for actors and crew likewise , which Farrell surmise is the suit in the house - burning aspect in " Progress " . For interior set , however , strict safety measures have to be in place . A common practice for enhance the perceived danger in flak scenes is to film through smaller , bear flames held in front of the camera . The result is a spaceship or station that looks as though it ’s in reality sunburn .
DS9 ’s denouement feature the Fire Caves of Bajor prominently , because the popular tourist destination is the legendary habitat of the pah - specter , direct opposer to the Bajoran Prophets living in the wormhole .
Terry Farrell ’s elated admission of being"pyros"comes with tongue planted firmly in brass , but Farrell is n’t exactly incorrect , either . Star Trek : Deep Space Nineoften calls forpyrotechnic effect of various sizes , create unlike levels of urgency in different situations . ThroughoutDS9,fires range from ceremonial torches at the Bajoran tabernacle to explosion in Ops and only increase from there , with damage to the USS Defiant and disasters on warfare - torn planet . From Major Kira torch Mullibok ’s habitation former inDS9season 1 , to the fiercebattles of the Dominion War , fire ups the ante onStar Trek : Deep Space Nine .
