It is really great! I just finished a watch of it a few weeks ago and I just want to watch it again.
The characters are really great.
Anticorp@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Sisko is such a badass! Jake and Nod are way more interesting children than Wesley and Alexander ever were.
TubeTalkerX@kbin.social 10 months ago
Of course it was, it was based on Babylon 5
Shots fired

I should watch all of Babylon 5 again…

I’ve just started a Voyager run through with my kids. Dare I say S1 of Voyager is a much better introduction to “modern” Trek than the fairly uneven S1 TNG? I think Janeway is underrated as a Star Fleet captain.
Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
She is! Always wondered why she got so much hate in the community. Not as much as Archer did though. Which is also great IMHO.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Janeway didn’t get hate as much as it was criticism of the writers for making her inconsistent. One week it was “Prime directive no matter the consequences”, the next was “Lets do whatever to make drama.”
For all of Roddenberry’s faults, his presence for the early years of TNG kept TNG consistent instead of allowing the writer of the week to change characters for their personal story. By the time he was gone, the formula was set such that writers wouldn’t mess with characters.
Voyager has no singular authority so consistency of character was rare.
Telodzrum@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It brings me no joy to say this, but TNG isn’t “modern Trek” anymore.
Sanity_in_Moderation@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Why not? It’s only 10 years old or so?
Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 10 months ago
The first two seasons of TNG are balls.
Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 10 months ago
They’re not quite as terrible as their reputation. Yeah, they’ve definitely got some of the worst episodes of Trek ever, but there are good ones in there, too.
Nacktmull@lemm.ee 10 months ago
I agree but still good Trek compared to Discovery and Picard.
mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
S1 TNG is infamously jank.
Olgratin_Magmatoe@startrek.website 10 months ago
I’m finally watching star trek with my girlfriend and getting her into it. Been watching along with her on TNG. So far we are about done with season 1, but I am big excited to re-watch DS9 se5, especially with her watching it for the first time by my side.
Gonna have to brave the awful ass se1 Sisko haircut though lol.
Damage@slrpnk.net 10 months ago
Went through the same process with my partner… Apparently she prefers Sisko with hair and no beard!
But she also liked S1&2 of TNG a lot…
Anticorp@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’m impressed that you’ve managed to get her to watch s1 of TNG! I’ve been thinking about trying to talk my wife into watching it and was thinking we’d start on season 3.
Olgratin_Magmatoe@startrek.website 10 months ago
She has been very persistent about knowing the background for everything. It bothers her to be dropped in the middle of something without the context.
So she wanted to start at the “very beginning”, which in my mind is TNG season 1. The original series is great, but I figured she’d enjoy it more after having already gotten into trek.
She is throughly enjoying the cheesy-ness of it though, which is really good.

Having grown up on DS9 and Voyager, and just finished all the good new trek, I went back and stared TNG for the first time.
The rest of this post intentionally left blank.
hactar42@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’m the opposite right now. Grew up on TNG, just finished SNW and Lower Decks and now I’m watching DS9 for the first time.
nilaus@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I grew up on tng. Thought nothing could top picard and his crew… You are in for a treat!
psud@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I and my wife have both watched all of Star Trek individually before we met. When new trek appeared we rewatched everything before watching all of new trek, good and less good, together
match@pawb.social 10 months ago
You treasure that girl and never let her go, you hear me?
logicbomb@lemmy.world 10 months ago
TNG’s first season can just be skipped IMO. The first time I watched TNG on streaming, I was… surprised… at the quality of season 1.
Zoot@reddthat.com 10 months ago
Anyone know if that DS9 server that was remaking it with AI visuals is still around?
TrashGoblin@hexbear.net 10 months ago
I don’t know. I do know there are 720p and 1080p AI upscales. They can look a little “smooth”, but they’re less distracting than the bad 480p transfers Netflix was showing a few years ago.
ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
But I’m already midway through watching ds9
USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website 10 months ago
Well, clearly you’re going to have to start again.
Nacktmull@lemmy.world 10 months ago
After the DS9 rewatch is before the DS9 rewatch!
CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 10 months ago
As of New Year’s Pluto.TV moved this steam to DS9.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 10 months ago
?? Pluto has been streaming DS9 for years. The “More Trek” channel isn’t new either.
CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Last half of last year, that “channel” was Voyager. At midnight Pacific on new years it rolled to DS9 instead.

Allamaraine, count to four
mynamesnotrick@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
I like that episode… Really.
Allamaraine if you can see, allamaraine you’ll come with me.
USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website 10 months ago
Four times watching the entire series?
Allamaraine, count four more!
Nacktmull@lemmy.world 10 months ago
That could be me 100%. My heart then usually adds that it’s a shame that there is no remastered version with high resolution T_T
JustMy2c@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Deep space nine… Wow I can watch that again it’s been decades… Am I old now?
Rom@hexbear.net 10 months ago
You gotta have faith of the heart, after all.
WholeEnchilada@lemmy.today 10 months ago
This is totally me! I’m in the rewatch zone!
jenny_ball@lemmy.world 10 months ago
district 9?
USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website 10 months ago
Now that you mention it, it has been a while for that as well…
RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 10 months ago
“… my child.”
antidote101@lemmy.world 10 months ago
My unpopular opinion is that most of DS9 is poorly written, and often doesn’t even have a B story.
mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
That’s a funny way to spell SG-1.
Infynis@midwest.social 10 months ago
You’re right, I probably should go rewatch that episode where the crew triggers a Cardasians trap, and the station captures them, and Dukat comes to gloat.
JulesTheModest@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Attention Bajoran workers!
Blackout@kbin.social 10 months ago
It has my favorite scene in it when Garak accuses Dukat of having a crush on Kora and the shocked "Garak" response from him was so comical.
