i’m not that far in at all, I just got to the episode where someone named Luxanna Troi shows up, and I’m pretty sure I’m supposed to know who she is judging by how the narrative is treating her lol. I’m assuming she’s from the Original series or Next Generation? I’m probably going to watch the older series after I finish DS9, unless the ending is like…Game of Thrones levels of bad.
And yeah, the whole setup for the series is so interesting to me. Commander Sisko shows up to this dilapidated space port to help a formerly colonized people reestablish themselves. But like…he’s also alien god’s messenger…or something?
I didn’t realize it was going to have a religious slant, but the clear setup of the clash of ideologies of the Federation, Bajor, whatever Quark is and…um…the Kardashians (🤦♀️)? It’s already proving to be really cool. I’m excited to see where it goes.
