Like the episode about the luddite who stranded a group of people on a planet, forcing them to resort to primitivism to discover their "lost humanity" and casually murdering a few people in the process because "sacrifices had to be made". There is the standard "marketplace of ideas" battle between Sisko and the luddite; Sisko won't bend to her will, she pretends to hold the moral highground, yada yada. It's revealed that the leader was restricting their tech the whole time and could have saved those people, yet no one is mad. They're all like, "yeah that sucks but look at this great life we've built with sticks and herbs!" The episode ends with this psycho smiling and beaming aboard a ship with Sisko and O'Brien, presumably to go to jail. And the lesson here is "moral superiority wins the day, no further justice is needed."
Are you fucking kidding me?!!
edit: it's come to my attention that it gets better. fingers crossed.
DS9 is like the buttered toast of tv. No one loves it, it's just kinda there.
Uh from season 3 onwards it's probably the best Sci-Fi show I've ever seen
Imma take your word on it. I'm almost to the end of S2 right now and it's been nothing but limp wristed libshit so far
It gets incredibly based later on. There's a whole episode dedicated to Rom unionizing quarks bar, he even reads and quotes Marx.
I'd recommend using an essential episodes guide for the earlier seasons
+1 for episode guides! The first 3 seasons are pretty hit or miss.
I will not stand for this slander of buttered toast!! What else am I supposed to dip into my over easy egg??
