Please understand: I mean this in a very, very loving way. Lemmy has so much content and so many references that I do not understand but it’s awesome seeing all these passionate communities outside of my usual circles.
Oh, sorry to hear that. DS9 gets pretty good later on - especially the "middle" is great, testing out the limits of the world/starfleet ethics. I think it's my favorite trek... (second being TNG, watched that growing up). Maybe give DS9 another chance and just jump in somewhere after Season 1...
