No one likes Bajor.

The only reasons i know anyone goes to Bajor are as follows
1: Q said there was stuff there
2: You are doing the cardassian story arc
3: You came to DS9 from Defra and you mashed the enter button to fast



Seriously does anyone actually like or intentionally go to Bajor for any reason other then the above?

    Amen.

    I was lamenting in chat a few days ago (as I was doing the Cardassian arc) how I was sick of their sanctimonious whining and wish the Cardassions had finished the job. I've hated them pretty much since the first time I met Kira.

    OP, you forgot a reason to go to Bajor. It is a good place to hide out and chill for awhile because no one expects anyone to go there. Qo'noS and ESD and Mol'Rihan can get a little crowded sometimes. The only things I can't do on Bajor involve changing ships while there. If I really need to change ships or add something to one, I can always go to orbit

    Well, if the Cardassians would have left Bajor alone in the first place...

    Ok so 1 vote for actually liking Bajor vs everyone else and the uninterested.

    Incorrect.


    Alright so two now.

    I like Bajor, just not the species inhabiting Bajor.


    Which is my biggest gripe with Bajor why couldn't the federation just be conquerers and take the real estate rather then dance over the pathetic pebbles of heresy in order to claim the wormhole.

    I like Bajor. I go there every so often. The devs did a great job on the map. Sure, it's a bit boring, but then it's just a place to refuel/reload/check your bank.

    The Bajorans suffer from "planet of the hats" syndrome worse than any other alien in Star Trek because they've been written so super annoying to resemble Jehova's witnesses camping in front of your place until you join or donate a lot of money.​​

    Besides the things the OP mentioned there is not much to do there. You can go there to leave again. I like Bajor and I did play the 2800 missions a lot for the Jem'Haddar sets. These outfits are now replaced by the Romulan sets which is mk XII and the only reason, I prefer it over the JH set.

    Of Bajor is a nice click mission as I call it. A cumbersome part is where you have to drag sick people to the infirmary as a science officer, just boring. Further it is ok. As KDF you can beat people up.

    I went there once to save the Bajorans from the Undine. Turned out the only sane Bajoran there was me and I was saving the Undine from the Bajorans.

    Some Bajorans can be an ungrateful lot at times. They should proud of being part of the glorious United Federation of Planets. And they should show more gratitude toward the heroic warriors of the Klingon Empire who, out of noble heroism, choose to fight in their defense.

    It's a much better zone, with the temple rudely shoved aside to make room for bars and strip clubs. Fits my captain perfectly.

    I love Mirror Bajor (wish we could get more chances to-do stuff there), prime Bajor however is trash.

    It is quiet at bajor. Good place to get away from the universe.

    Trek is supposed to have moved past religion. Or at least shoving it down your throat. TNG handled it very well with keeping it a personal matter of faith. DS9, shoved it in your face so hard. Couple with the fact that the Cardassians were painted in such a poor light that you were a monster for siding with them over the Bajorans. Also, the whole Sisko is half alien was weird and unneeded. Him being their messiah was weird enough.

    Even so, I loathe the Bajorans with ever fiber in my being. When DS9 gets attacked and personnel are evacuated to Bajor, a FEDERATION WORLD, the local populous start whining and moaning that the men and women of multiple worlds that are fighting to defend them have the audacity to bleed on their precious Bajor.

    I'd love to see the Bajorans defend their own world. Oh wait, they failed at that miserably and had to resort to terrorist tactics because they had failed at conventional warfare. Eventually the Cardassians left once the profit margin was too slim.

    Above all I hate how smug and Bajorans are. As if they are special for being "fast tracked" into the Federation. They are not special. They are sub special. The only thing they have going for them is pure luck. If the wormhole was 1 star over, no one would care about the Bajorans at all. And the Cardassians might have stayed there and finished the job since there would have been no intergalactic pressure on them. Ah, if only.

    In short, death to the Bajorans, Bajor for the Glorious Federation.

    I concur, Mirror Bajor is cool. Darkly sordid, but cool.

    They clap their hands funny.
    Seriously, who does it like that?
    I don't trust those people.

    I do go to Bajor, from time to time (actually down to the planet); but I must admit, I never really like it for too long. The Bajorans are, erm, too religious?! Or rather, they are constantly involved in spiritual rites (which isn't really my thing). In fact, the whole planet is laid out towards that single purpuse, it seems: to perform rites & rituals: on every corner of town there's some sort of altar, temple, or reminder of spirituality. It's all a bit overdone, IMHO.

    Far from the first religious species, but the atmosphere for Bajor is what I would call...fanatically non-fanatical? =)

    That's what I mean with the "hats" thing. Of course, pretty much every Klingon blabbers about honour, every Ferengi always cites the rules of acquisition, but it's only the Bajorans where this "every single one of us is deeply indoctrinated in our religion which was publically disputed already" is all the time shoved so hard in your face it gets annoying.

    If we ever get a show dealing with non-federation races/factions they'd need to severly tone down the "planet of the hats" mantra and make them more diverse in personality. With Bajorans, that never worked. Even Kira always comes back to her "religious conflict". Ensign Ro was portrayed better, but the whole religion thing wasn't written in TNG yet, which made everything much better.​​
