    Since this new movie called “New Moon” is out in theaters, would DS9 be better if it had Vampires on the show.


    Just asking … :whistle:

    They already had a life energy sucking vampire on DS9.

    No. Vampires are boring.

    Only if the vampires had a discussion about the size of their bras.

    Why would you think to ask that? Why would anyone ask that?

    No.

    Absolutely, maybe if they were special vampires that only fed on gelatinous life forms, thus making them a danger to the Founders.

    Or not.

    I wonder why PKTrekgirl hasn't been around yet.

    I've never understood the obsession with undead, personally. Vampires, zombies, whatever- I don't see the attraction. I find nothing interesting about them at all, yet they seem so popular. Whatever the hype is, it seems to have passed me by.

    Vampires suck. So no. The whole idea of Vampires is utterly ridiculous.

    Unintentional pun? :p

    In general, or in a sci-fi setting? Depending on the 'style' of the vampires can make sense or call to a primal fear/instinct.

    However, for DS9 and Star Trek in general, blood suckers don't make sense. The doctor of the series would just cure them :p

    Bingo. This may just be why people like DS9 better than the other Treks - it had a vampire episode!

    But wait, wouldn't that make Star Trek: Nemesis the best Star Trek movie? A whole race of vampire-men!

    These questions are obviously inspired by Star Trek Fanfic.

    It was either before its time or too late. The Vampire high of the mid-90s was gone and Zombies were the new cool kids on the block as via the theory of the Hollywood Horror Cycle (which much to horror fans' disappointment is not some sort of demon possessed bicycle). If they only held back on the movie until 2009 and then Vampires are in and those crazy kids would be all about the Remans.
