I’m watching S7E20 right now and the entire scene before the Defiant undocked from DS9 had that cinematic vibe you only get from a bonafide Hollywood movie.

    I’m with you. I’m here for 45 minutes of story that’s wrapped up at the end and you can go on about your day. I think I read once that DS9 (in regards to being on a space station) described as the characters going on a journey since they weren’t on a ship and was immediately not, and am still not interested.

    I’m glad that people like it, I’m glad that it’s their thing and that it brings them joy but it is absolutely not for me and that’s okay

      I can appreciate the viewpoint, as I was once amongst them. In the early days of Netflix, when they had the rights, I binged my way through a rewatch of TNG, and then a proper watch of DS9. The slow build of characterization goes a long way. Especially with the Ferengi, given the harsh intro to their culture. Don’t discount it because of the personal commitment, but rather, judge its effect on your perspective as a result of their storytelling.
