8 Star Trek: DS9 Episodes Changed From TNG Stories

Throughout the 1990s, there was often more than one Star Trek show in production at the same time, so it was inevitable that some episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine began as stories pitched to the Star Trek: The Next Generation writers’ room. DS9 entered production in 1992, in response to a desire from the network for more Star Trek off the back of TNG‘s popularity. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was a very different beast to TNG as it was set aboard a space station, and not a starship, meaning that, in the early days, strange new worlds often had to come to Commander Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks).
