For The Star Trek Original Series Die-Hards

Regarding USS Defiant as the first pure warship in the series, one has to remember that it was the first ship in the series that was not permanently manned. It was not on constant patrols and exploration in remote locations and thus would not need to be nearly as self sufficient.

Rather that do an extensive cut-and-paste, I give you instead this link to a very through examination of the "Defiant Class" of Federation Warships:

Hello n4gix,

Thanks for the reference.
I guess I should go back and re-watch those DS9 episodes to see how they match up with this description.

"The "Star Trek" name got my attention. The scenes and excerpts from the first two episodes and reviews tell me that I am not interested in finding out more."
So you never actually watched it at all, yet you feel qualified to judge it. How bleeping arrogant. How can you judge a show you never even watched ?

That, unfortunately, is coin of the realm over much of the internet. It's almost as if knowing what you're talking about is a form of prejudice, when the very word means to pre-judge. Even still, the subject matter here is fairly innocuous, an online fan series. There are people with authority over the lives of thousands very real people who do this very same thing. Those are the people who really scare me.

I have the first two seasons on Blu-Ray, bought from the local Buy and Sell shop. I felt the quality fell way off in the third season, with some exceptions. David Gerrold writes about this at length in The World of Star Trek, using the term "when format becomes formula" which I found applicable to many tv and movie series.
