Same here. Still appreciate TNG as my "first Star Trek" but I'll always be a Niner.
I've been meaning to give this one a go. Soon, soon. I was very into TNG when it first aired, so into TNG that I saw DS9 as a 'paltry imitation' at the time. Almost an interference, if you will. I no longer feel this way, of course.
Truth told, I've only ever seen the original series & TNG. Well, and the films, of course.

Welcome and enjoy it. Wait with your judgment until you have seen the last episode. DS9 has great moments and the best characters.
Yeah, I've been hearing for years that it's a well written show with interesting characters. My knowledge of the show would barely fill a thimble, so we shall see!
Hi guys I'm new here and love trek in all it's many forms. But I have a question I have in my possession a signed dated copy of "A Stitch in Time" I even remember where I was when I met Garrak but I've be trying to see what it might be worth unfortunately I can't find any others like it anywhere. You guys got any ideas?
Way of the Warrior. Once you get there the show grows so much
And why should someone sell such a thing? Even with financial trouble I would try to sell something else.....
I know, but if I want to start this business I kinda have to It is cool to think it is literally one of a kind.And why should someone sell such a thing? Even with financial trouble I would try to sell something else.....
I have my original Quark's menu from the Vegas Hilton (2000). Its pretty much perfect so if anyone is interested throw me an offer. I don't want to eBay this needs to go to a real enthusiast. UK fan.
I used to like TNG the best, but once I suffered through the first season of DS9, I was hooked. I really liked the first two episodes of the first series but the rest of season one was rather lacking, imo.
I like the 'seediness' of DS9 and the moral ambiguity of some of it's characters. It was interesting to watch the characters grow.
I also liked how Sisko and a few other characters made a few immoral choices (ends justify the means.) for the ever elusive and bs ''higher good'. Psh! Sisko was a thug when he had to be, but he really showed his nasty side best when he used crew and/or friends like tools to keep himself as far from accountability as possible.
Personally, I was delighted when Worf came on to the scene. Then suddenly it's Klingons everywhere you turn! I love ''em!
And Cardassians.
Even nasty little Weyoun was sort of adorable in all his wily politesse.
I was pleased when they began to complicate Dukat but then they turned him back into a two dimemensional Hitler. A psychopath with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. XD
I have a text on the show that gives a flimsy reason why they did this. People were beginning to relate and/or sympathize with 'poor, lonely Dukat.' Since it was supposed to be family friendly I guess they felt the need to eliminate all his grey areas and make it all black and white. The actor was rather unthrilled. XD

Anywho, this is my first post. I started at the first page and when I reached the bottom I saw the date was 2009. I thought for sure this place had died! Glad to see thats not the case!

As a new member you may not have editing privileges yet. I can the post for you if you like. Which part would you like in spoiler code?
Everything after
"l ike the 'seediness' of DS9 and the moral ambiguity of some of it's characters. It was interesting to watch the characters grow."
I guess. Not sure how much else needs to be spoilered after that for a welcome thread. Thanks!
