You’re right, I probably should go rewatch that episode where the crew triggers a Cardasians trap, and the station captures them, and Dukat comes to gloat.
Attention Bajoran workers!
It has my favorite scene in it when Garak accuses Dukat of having a crush on Kira and the shocked “Garak” response from him was so comical.
The best Trek ever!
It is really great! I just finished a watch of it a few weeks ago and I just want to watch it again.
The characters are really great.
Sisko is such a badass! Jake and Nod are way more interesting children than Wesley and Alexander ever were.
And it even has baseball
Death to the opposition!
I was impressed they managed to get baseball caps to fit on those fat alien heads.
Of course it was, it was based on Babylon 5
Shots fired
I should watch all of Babylon 5 again…
The door knob changes position 😔
There are THREE LIGHTS
I’ve just started a Voyager run through with my kids. Dare I say S1 of Voyager is a much better introduction to “modern” Trek than the fairly uneven S1 TNG? I think Janeway is underrated as a Star Fleet captain.
S1 TNG is infamously jank.
She is! Always wondered why she got so much hate in the community. Not as much as Archer did though. Which is also great IMHO.
Janeway didn’t get hate as much as it was criticism of the writers for making her inconsistent. One week it was “Prime directive no matter the consequences”, the next was “Lets do whatever to make drama.”
For all of Roddenberry’s faults, his presence for the early years of TNG kept TNG consistent instead of allowing the writer of the week to change characters for their personal story. By the time he was gone, the formula was set such that writers wouldn’t mess with characters.
Voyager has no singular authority so consistency of character was rare.
Edit: Except for Ensign Kim. He was born an Ensign and died one. Nobody messed with perfection.
He was born an Ensign and died one.
Several times.
The first two seasons of TNG are balls.
They’re not quite as terrible as their reputation. Yeah, they’ve definitely got some of the worst episodes of Trek ever, but there are good ones in there, too.
Oddly, the worst two episodes of Trek are in s7, just before the finale, which is one of the best episodes ever.
I reckon Voyager was the best of the star treks
So you’ve never seen DS9, then.
Or ToS, or TNG.
I’m finally watching star trek with my girlfriend and getting her into it. Been watching along with her on TNG. So far we are about done with season 1, but I am big excited to re-watch DS9 se5, especially with her watching it for the first time by my side.
Gonna have to brave the awful ass se1 Sisko haircut though lol.
Went through the same process with my partner… Apparently she prefers Sisko with hair and no beard!
But she also liked S1&2 of TNG a lot…
I’m impressed that you’ve managed to get her to watch s1 of TNG! I’ve been thinking about trying to talk my wife into watching it and was thinking we’d start on season 3.
But I’m already midway through watching ds9
Well, clearly you’re going to have to start again.
After the DS9 rewatch is before the DS9 rewatch!
Actual picture of my heart.
Having grown up on DS9 and Voyager, and just finished all the good new trek, I went back and stared TNG for the first time.
The rest of this post intentionally left blank.
I’m the opposite right now. Grew up on TNG, just finished SNW and Lower Decks and now I’m watching DS9 for the first time.
I grew up on tng. Thought nothing could top picard and his crew… You are in for a treat!
I and my wife have both watched all of Star Trek individually before we met. When new trek appeared we rewatched everything before watching all of new trek, good and less good, together
TNG’s first season can just be skipped IMO. The first time I watched TNG on streaming, I was… surprised… at the quality of season 1.
As of New Year’s Pluto.TV moved this steam to DS9.
?? Pluto has been streaming DS9 for years. The “More Trek” channel isn’t new either.
Last part of last year, that “channel” was Voyager. At midnight Pacific on new years it rolled to DS9 instead.
I watch that channel all the time. It’s always been DS9 and Voyager. Is it just DS9 now 24/7?
That could be me 100%. My heart then usually adds that it’s a shame that there is no remastered version with high resolution T_T
You gotta have faith of the heart, after all.
Anyone know if that DS9 server that was remaking it with AI visuals is still around?
I don’t know. I do know there are 720p and 1080p AI upscales. They can look a little “smooth”, but they’re less distracting than the bad 480p transfers Netflix was showing a few years ago.
I’m doing a chronological rewatch of the whole franchise and am at the episodes where DS9 and Voyager overlap. It is mind boggling how much better DS9 is. I find myself wanting to skip almost every Voyager episode so I can just get to the DS9 ones.
That’s a funny way to spell SG-1.
