i think the inner old man only really emerged when convenient, as with the *insanely* over-the-top joran manifestation or when prodding worf. which is fine
that said i think she and they did a pretty great job with her character

I've decided the only way I'll get through this series is by turning my internet-browsing procrastination into DS9 procrastination for a couple of months. Just watched the pilot. It's pretty charming, tantalising setup for all the political stuff, likably stupid but not-TNG-season 1-stupid, and some of the dialogue is... quite good? I think I will split the diff between these two watchlists.
― Chuck_Tatum, Friday, 19 March 2021 10:52 (three years ago) link
I've seen the pilot three times, when it first came out, for previous failed rewatch sometime in the past decade, and yesterday. The only things I ever remember are the shot of Sisko in the escape pod at the start, Sisko's swimsuit, and the "OW!".
― Chuck_Tatum, Friday, 19 March 2021 11:00 (three years ago) link
yeah i just rewatched emissary again the other day and that shot from the pov of the escape pod is stunning
― clouds, Saturday, 20 March 2021 21:57 (three years ago) link
For a bad first season, this is a pretty great first season, so I’m excited about when this actually gets good.
I have a watchlist of which episodes to skip, but after watching ”Progress” (moving!) and an actually enjoyable Lwaxana episode (!), neither of which were on the list, I’m thinking I might as well watch the whole lot.
― Chuck_Tatum, Wednesday, 7 April 2021 22:43 (three years ago) link
i really thought the first season was not bad, although it absolutely does get better. a better first season than TNG imo (I just did the TNG rewatch, i prefer it slightly to DS9 overall but it's fairly close for me).
― 《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 7 April 2021 22:53 (three years ago) link
I'll go to bat for DS9's first season, even "Move Along Home!" And DS9's Lwaxana episodes put her TNG episodes to shame, because in the latter, she's basically a "LOL old harridan" but DS9 gives her emotional depth and shading.
I will only recommend one episode to categorically skip, that being "Profit & Lace" i.e. the trans-Quark lol emotional wimmin episode, which is irredeemably awful and objectionable.
― Ovid-19 (Leee), Wednesday, 7 April 2021 23:09 (three years ago) link
Ok I have to watch that now. Move Along Home was very silly but not unenjoyable, so miles better than early TNG nonsense. Basically almost every one of the main ensemble is a fun character actor, so it’s enjoyable watching them even when the stories r dumb.
― Chuck_Tatum, Wednesday, 7 April 2021 23:20 (three years ago) link
Oh no what have I done.
― Ovid-19 (Leee), Wednesday, 7 April 2021 23:52 (three years ago) link
haha profit & lace was the only episode i skipped when i watched the series -- hadn't even heard anything about it, just saw the preview and thought 'that sounds terrible'
― mookieproof, Thursday, 8 April 2021 00:14 (three years ago) link
yeah i wouldn't skip anything in DS9, there's a couple stinkers each season but those watch guides throw away tons of good ones just because they're lower stakes or whatever
― ciderpress, Thursday, 8 April 2021 00:25 (three years ago) link
Out of morbid curiosity, I checked https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Profit_and_Lace_(episode)#Reception, which has this delightful nugget:
This episode received Star Trek 101's "Spock's Brain" Award for Worst Episode of Deep Space Nine.

my main complaint about the early seasons is that they wouldn't let sisko shave his head
― mookieproof, Thursday, 8 April 2021 00:51 (three years ago) link
Ok maybe I’ll skip it. Or... https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/images/d/d9/Quark_as_Lumba.jpg

just watched the ep where they accidentally set off the station's panic mode left by the cardassians and omg it's so good, you learn more about garak in like 10 seconds than he'd revealed in the entire show up to that point, had to have been such a gag when it came out

Just got to "The Die is Cast" in the third season. This show totally - the only word I can think of - rocks. It got way better, way quicker than I was expecting.
Special lol at the Starfleet boss taking Sisko down, after Sisko goes rogue: "If you pull a stunt like that again, I'll court martial you or I'll promote you -- either way you'll be in a lot of trouble."
