Anyone who says some other Star Trek show is better either hasn't seen DS9 or they have shitty taste in Star Trek.
Once you go Reynolds it's hard to go back to Roddenberry
That being said, Michelle Yeoh made Discovery for me

If you don't like Star Trek, Deep Space Nine is for you, it's least Star Trek like Star Trek series, that is big reason it's the best of the bunch, and it's not even close. At the very least you'll find it serviceable.Smitty-48 wrote: Sat Apr 04, 2020 7:27 pmDiscovery I would describe as serviceable, I don't really like Star Trek, that one was watchable at worstStCapps wrote: Sat Apr 04, 2020 7:26 pmI'm just saying.

However there are many superior shows worth watching before watching DS9, but if you're going to watch a Star Trek series, and you've haven't seen DS9, it's a no brainer. And if you've seen them all, DS9 is also the best one to rewatch of the bunch, if you want to rewatch them.

DS9 doesn't put The Federation on a moralistic pedestal, it tears it right off the pedestal and pisses on it. Much of the commie shit you hate about Star Trek, so does DS9.Smitty-48 wrote: Sat Apr 04, 2020 7:33 pmCouldn't get with DS9StCapps wrote: Sat Apr 04, 2020 7:29 pmIf you don't like Star Trek, Deep Space Nine is for you, it's least Star Trek like Star Trek series, and that is big reason it's the best of the bunch, and it's not even close.

The production quality is entirely a product of technology. It's not DS9's fault, they did a great job production wise they were just limited to 20th century technology is all. That's a weird thing to get hung up on.

Re: What show are you watching right now?
That's a weird hang up to have. If DS9 was made with modern technology, Discovery would have nothing on DS9 except Michelle Yeoh being in it. In every other facet, DS9 is vastly superior. If literally nothing matters but production value and Michelle Yeoh, then I can see why you'd have such weird taste in Star Trek.Smitty-48 wrote: Sat Apr 04, 2020 7:39 pmIt's a comic book thoStCapps wrote: Sat Apr 04, 2020 7:37 pmDS9 doesn't put The Federation on a moralistic pedestal, it tears it right off the pedestal and pisses on it.

Re: What show are you watching right now?
That's because you haven't watched DS9. The first season isn't that good, aside from a few episodes here and there, most Star Trek shows start off slow, Only the The Original Series and Discovery buck that trend. From S02E19 Blood Oath onwards, that's when it really starts to get good.Smitty-48 wrote: Sat Apr 04, 2020 7:44 pmIt's not a "hang up" I just like what I likeStCapps wrote: Sat Apr 04, 2020 7:42 pmThat's a weird hang up to have and it's literally the only thing Discovery has on DS9.
