Yeah, I never really enjoyed that part

Personally I disliked the whole introduction of religion into the Trek setting, though DS9 is still a great show. It just felt like a weird step back in an enlightened future defined by knowledge and science to suddenly have "gods" fucking around

Gods (as aliens) were a recurrent theme in TOS.

Remember Apollo. Or... what does god need with a starship?

Thats a good point I hadn’t considered, it’s been a while since I watched TOS.

But I would argue that especially the latter was more a lesson that superhuman powers don’t constitute a god, whereas DS9 seems to be a lot less critical in their depiction of the bajoran belief system and the wormhole aliens / prophets.

Exchange of money is such a linear concept.

You know you've been watching too much DS9 when the first thing you see is that his phaser is on the wrong side.
