This episode made me look up the word “insidious.”
Not directly though, I first had to get called out by an adult for incorrectly using it to describe the flavor of something else.
It’s true. I only ever bothered to watch DS9 after watching every other series and getting desperate for a fix. And now I feel bad for ignoring it after school all those years ago because it’s a solid TNG successor.
I watched a few episodes early on but found it to be too boring compared to TNG, which I only casually watched because I was 9-10 at the time.
It wasn’t until I graduated college, spent 6 months searching for a job loving with my parents and Spike TV was just making it’s debut and it started marathoning DS9. Holy forking shirtballs I was pissed I never gave it a solid chance.
You watched Voyager before before DS9? Damn
A lot of millenials did because they were too young to see what DS9 was trying to do, where Voyager was everything kids loved about TNG (flashy effects, cool set designs and humor randomly spliced through out the episodes, sometimes in inappropriate ways that do break up what ever plot was trying to hold it together.
Hum… I did.
The Voyager synopsis on Netflix is much more interesting than the DS9.
Voyager definitely has a better theme/synopsis. On paper, DS9 seems rather dull (being a fixed space station, instead of an exploring spaceship). They even had to add The Defiant to allow for that exploring kick.
Character development, and long story plots wins with DS9. Arguably the best Trek series (though, whatever is your favorite is the best Trek series, no need to gatekeep)
One of DS9’s biggest draws is the character development. To quote Dune: “The slow blade penetrates the shield.”
Oh, I do think DS9 is one of the best Star Trek shows (tied there with Lower Decks). But the synopsis isn’t great.
y he so smooth
LOL, true.
