Having no interest in new shows. I have been watching this show for the past few weeks and absolutely love it. I just started season 4 last night.
Season 03 had a few great episodes. 'False Profits' and 'Sacred Ground' are two of my favorites so far.
I cannot believe I preferred star wars over this universe. They try to explore such deep ideas in 47 minutes and most times hit their mark, in my opinion at least.
Voyager is truly one of the greatest shows I’ve ever watched. DS9 is alright but doesn’t hit in the same way as Voyager. I love the old extended universe for Star Wars, but even that is severely outclassed by the full Dune series (Butlerian Jihad is a masterpiece). In the end nothing beats Voyager in my book for this kind of show though.
I feel the same way, but in reverse (though I'd say that Voyager is great, rather than just alright, but I think DS9 is one of the greatest shows ever made.)
Still, wasn't all the old classic Star Treks just great? Before they ruined it in this current clown fucking universe?
DS9 was too much of a soap opera, and it permanently lost me in the episode where slavery is brought up and Sisko gets all uppity and tells the alien all about how black people were slaves in America, 500 years ago, and how it's still just a horrible open wound for all those black people in the future, then he turns to the screen to admonish the viewer about having slaves 150 years ago.
Then they kept doing time travel episodes where Sisko would go back in time and have to deal with prejudice because he was black.
The original series dealt with these issues, when there was still racial tension, by making a good black character and putting her right in people's face and never even making reference to it. Showing that people in the future had gotten over it, worked things out, and moved on with life. DS9 reversed that and showed that even 500 years from now, blacks still blame whites and America for slavery and that all the hatred still exists.
The show is also full of communist ideals, anti-Christianity and religion, but at the same time says we gotta accept the Bajorans worshipping wormhole aliens as gods or else we're intolerant. It was a SJW shitshow.
