Deep Space Nine was the best Star Trek series of them all.

It had better direction, better story lines, and better character development than the others. The war with the Dominion led to some unexpected events. The private war between Odo and Quark was especially enjoyable.

The least popular one is also the best one. The first season is a little slow in spots but they find their footing and it owns. It's almost the anti-Trek: It can't stop poking holes in all the smug bullshit, on purpose.

I'm never gonna watch the new show because I don't have the dumb CBS streaming thing and I live in America so it won't be on Netflix like the rest of the civilized world.

DS9 was really good.

Yeah but whenever they talk about how much blood gull Dukat has on his hand it's always"thousands" of Bajorins dead, not "millions" or "billions".

Gul Dukat was firm but fair. Pretty sure George w Bush has more blood on his hands that Gul Dukat.

So what youre saying is that gul dukat did nothing wrong? You loving sicken me.

Seriously though you're half right. Given the cardassian national character, the bajorans got of easy with dukat. But being the most friendly, charming nazi still makes you a nazi. Dude was responsible for the enslavement of an entire species, the strip-mining of their homeworld, literal death camps, and he had his own enslaved harem of comfort women. There are some forms of evil that go beyond measurement by counting corpses. He was the head of a planetary holocaust. Humans are pretty evil and poo poo and even WE haven't made it that far yet.

I'd still let him gently caress me tho~

One of the best scenes in any trek, ever. Roddenberry can spin as fast as he wants. Everyone with the slightest aquaintence with any human governance could tell you that the federation is full of poo poo.

Gul Dukat's greatest sin is his failure to see himself for what he was. A slave of an oppressive government, a genocidal and decadant war lord, power-hungry until the very end.

Oh god but the episode where DS9's automated security protocols engage and it's just seven pre-recorded Gul Dukat messages, culminated with a pre-recorded message addressed directly to him from an even higher-up rear end in a top hat. It's goddamned hilarious, maybe my favorite episode of the show.

Amazingly classy episode. Cardassians get all the best actors. The writers managed a really sensitive, better-angels take on genocide with it, too. Even eternal megabitch Kira can't help but be moved.

Just remember that the best episode of the series was a bottle episode that the main writers / showrunners didn't give a poo poo about.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
There's an episode of TNG where Riker is trapped on an alien planet, and the only way this alien chick will help him escape is if he bones down on her. Dude is baller.

DS9 was the high water mark for Star Trek and I doubt anything will ever change my mind. That being said I don't recommend it to anyone now because holy poo poo there are a lot of embarrassingly bad parts. The last seasons of DS9 and Angel are my constant rewatch guilty pleasures that are just for me.

The original star trek with kirk and spoke 8s really good and fun to watch because there is humor and it's sorta cheesy but not in a wink wink campy way just in a cool way. Also cool monsters and the crew members are like a cool happy family

Literally every other single piece of media with the words star trek on it has been utter filth garbage for trash bag heads

I've never heard of him saying anything like that. All the quotes from him I remember are him talking up the experience. But it's been his line for a pretty long time now that he wouldn't revisit data because he's aged out of the role.

Every time we bring up Star Trek, my father-in-law brings up how he watched the original show, and then the same story about how Nimoy and Shatner did some bad music along with some other TV stars and how him and the boys at work laughed about it, then he makes a Mel Brooks (the height of comedy which ne'er shall be reached again) reference and then goes back to flipping between the Red Zone and a couple other shows which seem to be the same thing.
