Oh yes, DS9 had some very attractive actresses. Felicia M. Bell is the lady who played Sisko's wife and her alternate-reality version. She later unfortunately ended up on the horrible superhero series "Nightman" as a lounge singer. Very pretty. I always found myself incredibly attracted to Terry Farrell's Dax. She was very pretty too, but more, i loved the fun-loving personality Jadzia Dax had. Gotta love a woman who's gorgeous, smart, funny, and as at home analyzing a proto-star as playing cards with Ferengi or sparring with a bat'leth-wielding Klingon. I was really sad when she was killed. I also thought Cassiday Yates was gorgeous. Great smile. And Kira, when she smiled the room lit up. Then there's Chase Masterson's Leeta, who became Rom's wife. She was up there with Seven of Nine in terms of physicality. woof!!

Obviously, I have led a sheltered existence and I have not watched nearly enough films or TV. I haven't seen any of the films you mentioned below, nor have I seen any of the TV series you mentioned below, except DS9. I did see all of DS9 and I do remember the DS9 ep you mentioned... but I didn't make the connection. Then again, I may have been distracted by the Dabo girls in Quark's Bar (heh-heh) or by the actress that played Sisko's wife in the series pilot (who was killed at Wolf 3-5- 9 but resurfaced again in one of those universe cross-over eps). Then again, there were a lot of fine-looking actresses on DS9... regulars and guest actors. As far as Richardson being more talented than Berry, I can't comment. Ask me later after I've seen more of Richardson's work.
