You're right, I probably should go rewatch that episode where the crew triggers a Cardasians trap, and the station captures them, and Dukat comes to gloat.
Attention Bajoran workers!
It has my favorite scene in it when Garak accuses Dukat of having a crush on Kira and the shocked "Garak" response from him was so comical.
The best Trek ever!
It is really great! I just finished a watch of it a few weeks ago and I just want to watch it again.
The characters are really great.

And it even has baseball
Death to the opposition!
I was impressed they managed to get baseball caps to fit on those fat alien heads.
The door knob changes position 😔
There are THREE LIGHTS
I've just started a Voyager run through with my kids. Dare I say S1 of Voyager is a much better introduction to "modern" Trek than the fairly uneven S1 TNG? I think Janeway is underrated as a Star Fleet captain.
It brings me no joy to say this, but TNG isn’t “modern Trek” anymore.
Why not? It's only 10 years old or so?

She is! Always wondered why she got so much hate in the community. Not as much as Archer did though. Which is also great IMHO.
Janeway didn't get hate as much as it was criticism of the writers for making her inconsistent. One week it was "Prime directive no matter the consequences", the next was "Lets do whatever to make drama."
For all of Roddenberry's faults, his presence for the early years of TNG kept TNG consistent instead of allowing the writer of the week to change characters for their personal story. By the time he was gone, the formula was set such that writers wouldn't mess with characters.
Voyager has no singular authority so consistency of character was rare.
Edit: Except for Ensign Kim. He was born an Ensign and died one. Nobody messed with perfection.
He was born an Ensign and died one.
Several times.
I've actually come to think of Janeway as someone consistently written to be an inconsistent Captain, rather than 100% inconsistently written. Others are nowhere near as inconsistent as Janeway.
Once I started thinking of her inconsistency as being the result of trying to walk a tightrope of sticking to Starfleet ideals, as well as maintaining order in a demoralised crew in unfamiliar territory where they don't have the support and full might of the Federation and its allies behind them, Janeway's inconsistent and contradictory behaviour starts making a lot more sense and feels a lot more organic.
@TheGrandNagus Kinda makes sense that way. Flung into trouble because of her adherence to the Prime Directive, then had to do whatever it took to get the crew home... I'd waffle about, too.
You might be right, the inconsistency was well around. But it still was a good show. I always perceived her as a more "indecisive" captain. Or one being able to change her opinions. Whatever. It's what it is. The best female captain we had so far 😊
S1 TNG is infamously jank.
The first two seasons of TNG are balls.
They're not quite as terrible as their reputation. Yeah, they've definitely got some of the worst episodes of Trek ever, but there are good ones in there, too.
Oddly, the worst two episodes of Trek are in s7, just before the finale, which is one of the best episodes ever.

I'm finally watching star trek with my girlfriend and getting her into it. Been watching along with her on TNG. So far we are about done with season 1, but I am big excited to re-watch DS9 se5, especially with her watching it for the first time by my side.
Gonna have to brave the awful ass se1 Sisko haircut though lol.
Went through the same process with my partner... Apparently she prefers Sisko with hair and no beard!
But she also liked S1&2 of TNG a lot...

But I'm already midway through watching ds9
Well, clearly you're going to have to start again.
After the DS9 rewatch is before the DS9 rewatch!
Having grown up on DS9 and Voyager, and just finished all the good new trek, I went back and stared TNG for the first time.
The rest of this post intentionally left blank.
I'm the opposite right now. Grew up on TNG, just finished SNW and Lower Decks and now I'm watching DS9 for the first time.
I grew up on tng. Thought nothing could top picard and his crew... You are in for a treat!
I and my wife have both watched all of Star Trek individually before we met. When new trek appeared we rewatched everything before watching all of new trek, good and less good, together

Actual picture of my heart.
That could be me 100%. My heart then usually adds that it's a shame that there is no remastered version with high resolution T_T
Anyone know if that DS9 server that was remaking it with AI visuals is still around?
