I really didn't like the first few episodes, but DS9 is hands down my fav ST. They really get you invested in the characters. One of the only ST series to make me cry.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

It takes about 2 seasons to get going but once it does, it’s an absolute wild ride.
"The Visitor" every time.
Jason Momoa is positive masculinity.
"I promise bro, the show gets REALLY good after the first 122 episodes, just give it some time!"
The first season is good tho!
Haha, I was just poking fun. Season 1 has some real bangers like 'Duet'.
Just to the end of season 3 when this happens:
I can't believe they made him "phase in" his signature look. I remember for a bit he had the goatee and the hair.
The blad-head goatee is Brooks's signature look, but it had been long associated with his Hawk character from Spenser: For Hire. They just kinda wanted to establish Sisko first and then were perfectly fine with him moving back to his preferred cut.
Oh, gotcha. I had heard that it was because the network executives were worried he would appear too aggressive for a starfleet officer or something like that.
The only other time i had such a heart pounding rush seeing a character power up, was as a teen watching Son Goku go Super Saiyan for the first time.
Fucking Hawk was suddenly back. On DS9.
