I am really enjoying DS9 tbh. It’s an older show so maybe the aesthetics aren’t as clean, but it’s been making me contemplate a lot of larger social issues that I don’t really think about. Also kind of weirdly relevant in today’s times.
I don’t know about any of the other series, but Next Generation was technically the one I watched was trying to watch, so I’ll eventually get to it. Maybe I should have done release date order.
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.
Yes Garak has been introduced already, and his relationship with Bashir! He seems very complex, and your high opinion of him has me intrigued! I can definitely start to see the threads of the overarching story (I think) with Sisko and the Bajoran religion, and something with the Cardassians (thank you for sharing the correct spelling).
All the replies here have me excited about what’s to come!
They may be intelligent in their fields but that doesn’t mean they think thing through in every aspect of their lives. The status quo is the easiest thing to deal with they can devote more time to their careers/research
Unless their field is in social engineering, then yeah why are they going along with it?
