Like the title says just finished ds9 and need to talk about it. Plus it's star trek Sunday let's get some discussions going
This one is so tough for me. Odo is a cop but he did spend all of his time fighting quarks capitalist ass, so maybe Odo good possibly. Plus him and kira together makes me so happy
the one who is not confirmed to have committed political murder and who will sell arms to whoever can put up latinum
They sort of bring this up, not explored deeply but at least acknowledge it, in the episode Quark becomes an arms trader. The guys he ends up working for gained favors from the Bajorans because they supplied the revolutions.
Which romantic relationship on board is most realistic and why is it Keiko and Miles?
What is the funniest Quark moment and why is it that time he sets himself on fire while camping?
Yes twice. The ending really got to me. I've spent alot of covid watching this show and it's over now, and that makes me kinda sad. The other time was when kira and Odo finally got together that shit made me so giddy
I'm guessing you overlooked it but there's no way you didn't cry most of the way through The Visitor (the one with elderly Jake Sisko)
How often was the phrase 'my people' uttered.
That bothered me last time i watched any.
I dont remember who says that, but if you get into watching them, you'll care about whatever people those are, and you won't notice
Yes dammit. It works best if you're familiar with Trek alresdym I'd watch some TNG first
I watched TNG every night back when I was a chick.
There's probably some episodes I didn't see, since it was random order reruns. But yes, I'm familiar with TNG.
Watch Deep Space Nine then. It's Star Trek without trekking and space politics instead!
Yes. Fantastic show.
My wife had never really seen any star trek at all until we met and watched it on streaming services. We watched all of them now, except for the recent shitty ones and some of the original series. She loves all of them.
If you've seen other Star Trek, just go fucking watch DS9. It had the reputation as being the bad one, but that's because people watched RANDOM episodes on TV and it's actually very character driven and fairly sequential. I didn't like DS9 when it was on TV. There are character arcs and interactions that at least make some sense when watching a random episode, but really have emotional resonance when you know what's come before.
If you haven't watched Star Trek, know this: it's really, really not about photon torpedoes and space ships.
The setting is literally just a way to easily create moral and philosophical dilemmas, especially distilled and idealized versions of real dilemmas facing the world today. It's just delightful, and there's lots of excellent leftist or left-leaning content peppered all throughout the series, especially DS9.
(Although back in the 60's it was a bit more of a vehicle to create different spoopy monsters and different women Gene Roddenberry wanted to bang).
Also if you haven't watched TNG, do this: Watch like the first episode of Season 1, then go to season 2 and watch like, 8, 9, 16, 20, and 21. Thats a random list I pulled of good ones, and it checks out as far as I remember. Then go to Season 3 and just watch them all in order. THEN watch DS9. You could also start DS9 after Season 6 of TNG, because TNG ran a year after DS9 started and there are some crossover characters.
DS9 is great without TNG, but it builds on and subverts a lot of stuff from TNG in a really great way.
In S5E12 "The Begotten" the changeling baby is shown to be non humanoid yet Odo and all the other changelings we've seen have defaulted to an Odo like humanoid form. Why is that/

This is a "blooper" of the Odo and Quark goodbye scene that is a must-watch. I'll even spoil it, they make out.
I've heard some of the early episodes are dumb and boring. Which ones should I avoid?
idk just go for them and half pay attention until they start getting interesting in my opinion. there's not really a hard line between where they suck and get good in ds9, but the bell riots episodes called "past tense part 1 & 2" early on are a must watch if you're skipping through the early seasons.
Oh and if you find yourself cringing too hard on a certain episode "Move Along Home" wherein the crew must act out a board game you can definitely skip that one.

Yeah someone else told me that one sucks
I tried rewatching a while back, didnt get past the first episode due to life things, but the acting/dialogue in the first episode is not the best. Can probably skip or maybe just fast forward though the that one.
since it so often comes up on this site anyway: Maquis, good or bad?
