Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT There was never a serious chance of Jake Sisko joining Starfleet Academy in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and an episode from season 2 proves it. As the young son of the widowed Commander Benjamin Sisko , Jake Sisko was set up as DS9's answer to Wesley Crusher from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
" They're all about the unreality of appearances. Everyone would think Jake would want to be a Starfleet guy, but he doesn't. You'd think Bareil was on the station to see Kira, but the truth is that Quark lured him there. And then there's the girl, who seems real, but isn't ." This is in sharp contrast to Wesley Crusher who, despite the tragic death of his father Lt. Commander Jack Crusher, still wanted to pursue a career in Starfleet. Jake's disinterest in Starfleet is sensitively handled in "Shadowplay", as he gets a job working with Chief Miles O'Brien who encourages the young man to speak to his father. Jake's discussion with his father is beautifully understated, and never becomes emotionally overwrought.
Jake Sisko In Starfleet Could Never Have Bettered Wesley Crusher’s Star Trek: TNG Arc Close Jake Sisko joining Starfleet Academy would only have been a carbon copy of Star Trek: The Next Generation's Wesley Crusher arc. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine never wanted to repeat TNG's past glories, and always pushed the franchise in new directions.
