I have watched every film and every episode of every series of Star Trek. It was glorious, the only thing I didn’t really enjoy was the animated series.

I saw a lot of TNG when it was on TV when I was younger and always loved it so a few years back I decided to just watch everything trek available. There’s so much, I can’t quite believe I actually finished it all.

It’s been a long road, now bring on Strange New Worlds!

    I never really got hooked on DS9. I only watched it in the background while doing other stuff.

    Would you tell me about the things you like about it?

    I would love to give it another shot and i think hearing what other people like about it would help me see its good sides!

      There are a lot of things to like about DS9. I’ll try to name some without spoiling anything.

      One of the main ones is the fact it shows a darker more realistic side of humanity that at the time wasn’t present in other Trek. It feels a little more “grown up,” I guess?

      Another is the caliber of Avery Brooks’ acting (and the rest of the cast,) but Avery Brooks in some of the episodes is just truly amazing…

      • Far Beyond the Stars
      • Past Tense
      • The Visitor

      By second to third season the cast really gels and you just love every single one.

      All the crap O’Brien goes through (you will finally truly understand all the memes)

      Worf joins DS9 season 4 and adds even more great stories and interactions within the cast/crew

      The entire overarching plot of the Dominion war and how it impacts the Federation (federation… heheh)

      The whole Sisko / Emissary / Prophets story line across the entire 7 seasons and how he grows into that role

      All the Holosuite episodes, but especially “Take Me Out To The Holosuite”.

      All the Klingon episodes and interaction… Gowron, Martok, Worf

      There are so many good characters, not just the core / Sr. Officers / main cast

      GARAK… Garak is worth watching the entire 7 seasons just by himself.

      Dukat, Winn Adami

      Liquidator Brunt FCA

      Romulans…

      Ferengi… MOOOOOOOOOGIE… ROM and Nog… The Grand Nagus… and of course Quark… Little Green Men

      THE DEFIANT (one hell of a ship)

      To name a few… I could go on.

      And of course, there are always the oddball episodes that continue to be a running joke within the DS9 community…

      Move along home!

      I think its characters that feel more like people with lives beyond the show, the balance it has between arcs and standalone episodes, and its exploration of the universe from the ground level are things I really like about DS9.
