I have been slowly rewatching DS9 over the past ~eighteen months and have likewise myself “aging in,” in a sense. It was my family’s show as a kid, I’ve more-or-less rewatched the entire series once or twice since on DVD, but now in my thirties I’m noticing levels in performances that I really didn’t have the life experience to catch before, particularly wrt long-term relationships/marriage. I think also the times is having an effect too.
