Note that Deep Space Nine, the eponymous space station, was recently visited in an episode of “Star Trek: Lower Decks” entitled “Hear All, Trust Nothing” (September 29, 2022). In this episode, audiences saw that, roughly eight years after the end of the “Deep Space Nine” series, Colonel Kira (Nana Visitor) was still in charge and Quark (Armin Shimerman) was still manning the bar. Other notable “Deep Space Nine” characters were absent for reasons Trekkies might know: Captain Sisko (Avery Brooks) had become a non-corporeal being; Odo (late René Auberjonois) joined his species of Changelings; Worf (Michael Dorn) had left the station to become an ambassador; and Chief O’Brien (Colm Meany) left the station to become a professor at Starfleet Academy.
But Jake was ignored. As far as we know, he was still aboard the station, writing books and looking over the wormhole where his father had disappeared.
Catching up with the cast of “Deep Space” is therefore entirely plausible and even open to exploration. Cirroc Lofton also believes that the stories covered in “Deep Space Nine” – stories of religious corruption, genocide, war, spirituality and philosophy – are more relevant in 2023 than 30 years ago when the series did. his beginnings. He explained:
“Do I think there’s a chance? Yeah, I think there’s a chance, I wouldn’t say there’s no chance. And I would also say being now at over 30 years from the start of the show, you’re starting to look back at how the show is impacting people today and our society and where it’s going today And some of those storylines that we’ve covered, and the topic that we covered, it becomes more relevant than it was when we did. […] I won’t close the door on that.”
