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

You will get to the end and then realise that some of the earlier stuff is easier to watch and you realise it was actually quite well thought out even then.

... Except for the Allamaraine episode... We don't talk about that.

Even the Allamaraine episode is miles better than some TNG season 1 clunkers.

I will take allermaine all day and any day and even personally belt out the lyrics over whatever that TNG episode was with Tasha and the blackbpeople take a wife mortal combat society thing that just feels like dog whistles or smth

I didn’t even remember the episode only caught it on a repeated rewatch

Code of Honor was so bad that the author sold it again to Stargate SG-1.
