      The only other time i had such a heart pounding rush seeing a character power up, was as a teen watching Son Goku go Super Saiyan for the first time.

      Fucking Hawk was suddenly back. On DS9.

      I can’t believe they made him “phase in” his signature look. I remember for a bit he had the goatee and the hair.

        The bald-head goatee is Brooks’s signature look, but it had been long associated with his Hawk character from Spenser: For Hire. They just kinda wanted to establish Sisko first and then were perfectly fine with him moving back to his preferred cut.

          Oh, gotcha. I had heard that it was because the network executives were worried he would appear too aggressive for a starfleet officer or something like that.
