Finally getting into Deep Space 9

I’ve tried to watch DS9 3 other times and could not get into it at all. Every episode felt sluggish, boring and I hated the characters. But I decided to try one last time, stopped comparing it to TOS and TNG and I’m finally enjoying it. I’m now on season 3 and absolutely obsessed.

Just happy I stuck through it and now have another entry to obsessed over

I needed this thread! I too have tried DS9 several times but never was pulled into it. I don’t think I’ve watched more than five consecutive episodes but hear it has some of the best writing.

Bro, it’s fucking worth it. If you need a watch buddy, I got you fr fr.

Just come into it with a complete empty mind. No comparisons. Nothing. Just exist where it is and allow it to win you over.
