Is DS9 worth binging?

[Farscape One]

DonIago is right about one thing: watching Let He Who Is Without Sin is a small price to pay to be in on all the jokes we make about the series. So, @TechnoGoose , you will learn to live with it. Because you can live with it.

You can live with it.

Besides, that at least has a great scene that explains the 'why' of Worf.

Even the 5th worst episode of DS9 has something redeemable.

Watched that episode once. Haven't seen it since Nineteen Hundred and Ninety-Six!

I'm both excited about getting back up to it and dreading it at the same time.

DS9 committed the cardinal crime of being different from what came before on Trek and that ruffled feathers back in the day. Fortunately, over the years people have come to see its sheer quality and brilliance. So many people now consider it the best of all the Trek shows. Unlike TNG, it has aged exceptionally well too. It does take a little while to find its confidence and voice, but it’s a show that gets better and better and BETTER. It boasts the best cast and best overall writing of ALL the modern Treks. It was pioneering and at its best not just great Trek, but great television full stop.

Just out of curiosity, what do you think aged poorly about TNG? I'm only a little halfway season 2, so maybe I haven't seen it to it's full extent yet. The animation and costumes definitely come to mind for me so far

I was amazed until she told me she fast-forwarded through most of it to get to ‘good’ bits.

I think it’s a horrifying way to consume entertainment.

For some people it's content rather than entertainment. Just something to look at briefly instead of engaging with.

Although I have skipped through a movie or two after I've realized that they are garbage, so perhaps I shouldn't talk.

Have to fit in though.

She’s 33. Hardly a teenager wanting to fit in.

Attention spans seem to be lessening I think.

I work with adults wanting to fit in, including 30 year olds and 50 year olds.

I agree attention spans are starting to lessen, but I doubt that's the only part of it. But, that's my unscientific opinion.

What is it that you do again?
