However, I'm currently halfway through season 7 and have been left thoroughly underwhelmed by recent episodes. I know it picks up towards the end of the season, but episodes like 'Prodigal Daughter' and 'Field Of Fire' have been a struggle to get through. Even the last romp in the mirror universe ('The Emperor's New Cloak'), which should have been a lot of fun, felt...

"Live Long" well, there's not much ambiguity about that.

"Prosper...?" Well, the definition of the word is to be successful, wealthy or have a lot of children.

I don't agree, we might get out there eventually, but why go so far? We can build stations in earth orbit, probably in the Lagrange points, Ala Gundam and other shows. Bring asteroids/comets to those Lagrange points as supply material, but the idea of going ALL the way...

I’ve decided that it’s time to finally rewatch DS9 after the better part of a decade. I thought it would be fun to create a thread and share my thoughts, impressions and memories of each episode. I hope this doesn’t seem a narcissistic move on my part. My opinions are nothing special, obviously. But I like sharing my thoughts after watching episodes, and often got my knuckles rapped for oversharing in the general ‘last episode...
