I'm on season three of this show so far and I'm legit pissed at you guys. Why did no one tell me how great this show is! I've never watched star trek before but my whole life all I've ever heard is Kirk vs picard. I didn't even know there was a black man in charge of the ship running things.I haven't watched the of series or new generation but I'm gonna assume DS9 is way better than any other star trek series. benjamin Sisko is the best captain, and anyone who thinks different is a lib. Also the way they build on stuff is great. Like what the hell is going on with the dominion. They already seem way more advanced than anything the federation has. I have no idea how Sisko and company can beat them, it's really interesting. I had low expectations for a 90s show but damn it's hype as all hell. Like I said I'm only on season 3 but I can't wait to see how they deal with all the shit they got going on.

Edit: I just saw there's a star trek Sunday here but fuck it I'm inspired to post now. If you gotta remove this post I get it.

    No it isn't. From the start the characters are light years more hateable than any other crew. The cast of 5 characters the show cares about, smaller than previous shows, features 2 who are unbearable, 2 barely tolerable, and one Phlox. Bacula is a lovable actor, but Archer is so short of Sisko or Picard or even Kirk, his obvious model. Maybe a minor gripe, but the ship is mostly male because space is apparently a man's game. Nevertheless awful romantic plots take up extraordinary amounts of energy. At one point Space 9/11 happens to Earth and "this time, it's personal." This causes camo troops to board the Enterprise, everyone sucks them off for how cool they are at being operators, and everyone on the ship gets pissed and xenobhobic. Immediately there is a torture justification scene. The whole ship goes genocidal for revenge.

    There are good moments in the show no doubt; Phlox asking trip to fuck his wife, the ferengi episode with Neelix, but overall it's pretty eye-bleedingly bad

      why won't you fuck my wife Trip? Is there something wrong with my wife? Are you calling my wife ugly Trip? Why won't you make love to my gorgeous wife?

        Despite the weakness of the show overall, probably my top Star Trek moment

      Yeah, true. It's not at all comparable to DS9 and TNG. Would you say ENT is worse than the recent films or DISCO?

        Nah it's 'better' than the Abrams films in the sense that it is truer to the Star Trek vibe. Not seen Disco but from what I hear it has the same problem, being a different breed of action sci-fi.

        I think they described the hierarchy pretty well in the first comment:

        ENT is trash, and nothing else is canon
