It’s great when it was on TV. I thought Sisko was a great, friendly, fatherly figure, and Odo and Quark were great fun.
After having seen some eps with my wife, and reading stuff on the wiki, fucking hell. Sisko is basically Douglas MacArthur, and takes picard’s “first duty of every starfleet officer is to the truth” speech and sees it as a personal challenge to defy it as hard has he can, while screaming “You betrayed your uniform!” to any maquis he sees.
Which, to be fair, the maquis are not in the right, but fucking whatever.

Wow lol
I should probably give DS9 another try

Yes you should.

Yes. The character arcs are the best thus far. It’s less “police procedural” than the prior two. And Sisko is the best Captain.

Especially when the first season episodes open up with a story arc involving nationalism, immigration and xenophobia.

definitely. I also had a hard time starting it, but it gets really really good after the first couple episodes

The trouble with these Tribbles, they’re fuzzy and they’re cute but I can never find the hole.
I mean what?

Yeah, they nabbed a screenshot from one of the best episodes of DS9
DO NOT look up screenshots of Terry Farrell in Trials and Tribble-ations if you are not prepared to immediately fall in love with her again
Zephorah@discuss.online 19 hours ago
Yes. That’s from Deep Space Nine. S5E6 Trials and Tribbleations. A neat mashup that puts the DS9 crew into the original tribbles episode.
