/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 actually does, right about then. Season 1 is indeed rough (like most Trek series). Season 4 is where it really steps up.
Yeah, I think I bounced off of DS9 like 3 times before I managed to get past the start. After that it gets great though
The thing that interfered with my ability to follow DS9 when it was first broadcast was how tightly serial it was. (This is not a complaint as I actually think in hindsight it's something awesome about DS9, but it bears thinking about in context.)
In the pre-binge, pre-DVD, pre-online-episode-recaps era TV viewers sometimes had to just miss a couple episodes of something because of real life, busted VCR timers, or whatever. You could hope to catch what you missed months later in rerun season or years later in syndication, but that was it. Missing a stretch of TNG or Voyager was no big deal in the vast scheme of things, you could generally just jump right back in and keep enjoying the plot of the week while any really necessary missed details would be filled in more often than not. Miss more than a couple DS9s in a row and, if you were particularly unlucky, those were huge arc episodes and suddenly the entire plotline was twisted in some other direction and you could really struggle to understand what the hell was going on or get back into it.
I was a devoted 1980s/1990s Trekkie, but not until the digital era have I been able to actually sit and watch and enjoy DS9 all in a row as intended.
IMO DS9 has the least-rough first season of any of the Berman-era series.
