    think people like DS9 for a few reasons : the longform storytelling format feels like an evolution of television format, the tone being darker and more serious makes it seem more “realistic” and prestige, and the chemistry of the actors makes it feel like a group of close knit friends.

    I do find it funny how many people who love DS9 yet complain about DSC for those exact fucking reasons. But that’s a different conversation.

    I like war episodes as a concept in Star Trek, and have liked other episodes/series take on it, but DS9 just drove me fucking insane because EVERYONE was a goddamn moron and Sisko’s literal only redeeming quality is that he’s a good father.

    If you are so inclined, I have a voice clip I made a couple weeks ago because several friends asked me in the course of a single day why I didn’t like Sisko. It is 12 minutes mind you lmao

    Why I hate Sisko and DS9

      Yeah but people on DSC talk about their emotions and have gay people, so it’s double woke, and woke is bad. Sisko is acceptable because the civil rights movement happened before my time. /s

      His good dadness seems to spread to other interpersonal aspects, like how he deals with Nogs decision to join starfleet, and telling people what they need to hear to grow as characters. Also, 50s episodes are poignant.

      JFC. With more dedication you could be a writer or podcaster. I didn’t listen to it, but it’s impressive that you went on that long.
