So much of it is also down to the endearing, almost joyful way Aron Eisenberg gave life to that character – and personified the character’s evolution over the course of those seven years. Nog’s journey is one of those that has always been especially noteable in that sense. They did this with the likes of Kira, Sisko, Bashir, and even guest (or recurring) characters like Damar. DS9 was superior to the other Trek shows at doing that in general – at writing proper, meaningful character journeys over a long period of time, where you can really track where the character started and what they ended up as in a meaningful way. The thing I’ve always noticed most about Nog is just how much growth – how much of a proper character arc – he was given, over the course of seven years. I watched DS9 religiously when I was growing up: and every one of those characters was a significant part of my pop-cultural landscape as a young(ish) man.

And it’s a show in which pretty much every single character is a key part of why the series worked so well: Nog being one of those key characters, one of those key threads in the rich tapestry. And Eisenberg’s DS9 character – Nog – was one of the best written and best portrayed characters of all the shows.įor the record, Deep Space Nine is – in my permanent opinion – the very best of the Star Trek shows. Aron Eisenberg’s sad passing is something of a sorry milestone, in that he is the first major actor of the 90s Star Trekera (DS9, Voyager, TNG) to pass away, at least as far as I’m aware.
