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.
What makes Lower Decks good?
oddly enough it stays truer to the FALGSC vision of the Federation than any of the other newer treks.
It's the inverse of traditional Trek; funny interpersonal moments peppered with sci-fi action. It's also the most proletarian Trek by far since the focus is on a group of lower-deckers on a minor Starfleet ship and their struggles with everyday duties. Despite being an over the top mature animation (mostly for space violence and innuendo), it's fantastic, hilarious Trek made with love that fans should appreciate.
