Throw it out the airlock.
Say what you will but DS9 certainly put the Maquis to better use than the show they were intended for.

I'm rewatching DS9 abridged and I'm just skipping all of the Maquis poo poo because I know it doesn't matter and it's not really believable and the maquis are on Voyager and I hate Voyager.

The Maquis were created specifically for Voyager, and TNG and DS9 were sprinkled with them to hype up one the big new show’s main plot points that was going to be super important.

You're missing out on some good character moments, though, mainly Sisko. If you like Sisko angrily yelling at people (and who doesn't?), the Maquis really piss him off.

Well, yeah, they betrayed their uniforms!

I can see how that episode influenced TNG with all the episodes about playing psychological games with enemy commanders, including the Romulans themselves

To fully experience the downfall of TOS, you should go straight from this into "Spock's Brain" as I (unintentionally) did. :negative:

Spock's Brain is hilarious. I really think it stands up with The Trouble with Tribbles as one of TOS' funniest episodes. That said, you probably shouldn't watch it until you get the better TOS episodes out of the way first.

There are actually way worse TOS episodes than Spock's Brain, because Spock's Brain whatever else is going on is not boring.

I uploaded this to YouTube for you nerds to enjoy. It’s a 45 minutes documentary behind the scenes thing that aired before the series finale of TNG, hosted by Mr Riker. Highlight is when he goes to the pathetic Trek convention and shows up to surprise an audience of mostly empty chairs.

Miri‘s not great but nowhere near the nadir of the series. My vote is for Alternative Factor, one of the most baffling, nonsensical, and half-assed episodes of any tv show ever. Or just maybe And the Children Shall Lead.

Alternative Factor is absolutely the worst TOS episode, it's legitimately a chore to watch unless you go into it with that Manos mindset of being ready to marvel at how something can completely fail to entertain.

And The Children Shall Lead is pretty bad though, repetitive and non-stop cringey, although I'm not sure if that's worse than being boring and making no sense.

Special mention for Lights of Zetar? A computer we don't care about gets wiped, some crewmember we never met gets possessed but eh it's not a big deal it's just the space bends so put her in the decompression chamber and its fine :geno:
