I know that wasn’t the point, but:
Holt as Sisko and Terry as Worf is cool (Holt might work better as Odo, but we’ll get to that in a sec).
Rosa should be Kira (Worf looks mean but is a big softy, hence Terry. Kira is the one that will kick your ass if you piss her off), Jina as Quark (obviously), Amy as Odo, Boyle as Rom, Hitchcock and Scully as O’brian and Bashir in their “two buds going to the holosuite to pretend they’re WW1 pilots” mode.
Jake works surprisingly well as Jadzia - both like to do silly things, kinda offbeat yet very good at their job.
You took this thinking a lot further than I.
I couldn’t hear myself think because my brain was shouting at me about Rosa not being Kira.
I see where you’re coming from but I feel bad for O’Brien and Bashir getting done like that lol. But their inept best buddy dynamic doesn’t really fit anywhere on the ds9 crew neatly so it had to go somewhere
Yeah, I think not only their inept dynamic doesn’t fit anywhere in DS9, it’s actually anathema for the core values of Star Trek. Trek is all about what humanity can do when people do their best. The closest to being “inept” in ST are:
-
Characters like Rom or Berkeley, who at first have an inept aura, but ARE good at their job if put in the right situation.
-
Quark, who’s kinda bad at being a Ferengi, but that’s because he lets his (by human standards) morals get in the way. Also, the Ferengi were created as a species to be an anathema for other core values of Star Trek begin with.
-
The Pakleds, who are kinda like the Ferengi were at first, and were a one-off species then used for comedic purposes.
I’ve put way too much thought into it, haven’t i?
-
Rosa got sidelined as Jake.

Swap her with Gina, and it’s good. Rosa as the badass freedom fighter, and Gina as the person that isn’t as official as everyone else, but still gets side plots lol
That also makes Gina Holt’s daughter, which I think checks out
Jake = Jake, it’s right there! He even calls Holt “Dad.”
Does Capt-dad play baseball with Jake?
Gina or Rosa should have been Sisko. Holt is too level headed.
Counterpoint:
Also: Holt’s Dentist vs PhD rant
Dude has a temper.
Melissa Fumero in a Starfleet uniform is making me feel things…
I did not realize Chelsea Peretti cosplaying Kira would be as attention getting as it is.
I low-key want this to happen…it would be so good.
Lol I’d watch the shit out of that. But that’s basically The Orville haha
Mothers once more failed to have Holt as Odo
I really thought this was going to be a Community meme.
I don’t know if it’s right, but in my head I hear Abed’s “cool” x3 and Jake’s “cool” x5
