Watch the Irishman suffer
downrightmike
Normal day in the UK
I just watched "Watch the Irishman Suffer" episode 4 or 5. The one where he goes to simulated prison.
nopo
That is probably the roughest of the lot.
lumikuura
I think the bisexual fashion lizard is one of the best characters in whole Star Trek saga. Not many others have so many different sides ->
... and actual depth. He wasn't really good or bad but rather like a real person, cabable of doing both good and bad.
Skullwriter
I like and hate DS9 - Lots of wasted potential and filler that went nowhere, and some episodes that made me genuinely cry.
TheEmeraldProphylactic
I’m gonna say: What is Star Trek?
UncleRat
A western passed off as science fiction written by a group-think mentality about what will sell merchandise.
On its core is "How about Mankind can evolve through empathy and technology and face the ghosts of its past seen through other species."
RunawaySpoons
The concluding arc was criminal! But on the whole I love it, so much more depth than its contemporary Star Treks (Voyager was my first, >
loved it, probably because watching one a day and being busy in life made me overlook the heinous lack of continuity, love TNG but again >
more episodic; plenty of depth within single episodes though). DS9 would have been perfect if they'd tied up the longest loose threads. >
And I actually like filler eps, generally, just not when they're badly placed (oh hi series 7, didn't see you there … !).

I...I actually just started watching DS9 this past Tuesday. It's the only past ST series I hadn't viewed. Three episodes in and I like it.
CmdrSpartakus
Excellent choice, you're in for a treat.
CountessVonFingerbang
I have tried so many times, I just can't get into it.
superkp
it is excellent. Especially with how sisko handles Q.
I'm 4 seasons into my first watch-through. I can't believe I thought it would be boring.
You're gonna like it! It's the best Star Trek Show Imhop
It gets really good
SergeiBoobtitsky
I was more into Babylon 5 at the time it aired and probably didn't give DS9 a fair chance. I should watch it.
carlsagansghost
It's by FAR my favorite. A totally different dynamic
Arcanum3000
I think I will always have a crush on part worm science lady.
fafnir77
Which one? The second one never really settled with me
Jadzia. Ezri wasn't really the science lady anymore. And yeah, I didn't hate Ezri, but I didn't find her as appealing.
You and me both!
Evo435
Same, but the other part worm science lady.
holymanbatbatman
second part worm science lady ftw
nomorehate
I'm gay and agree with this sentiment.
ExaDeuce
Sisko commits a massive war crime and not one crewmember calls him out. At the end of the episode, Dax is giggling about how clever it was
houpbajoup
DS9 definitely had a jaundiced view of what it takes to maintain a near-utopia. This is also the show that introduced Section 31 to canon.
I don't necessarily have a problem with that in general, but the specific episode in question was pretty egregious.
TheFastpaws
I can live with it…
daimomusic
Computer, erase that entire personal log.
tooMuchButterOnDosTres
„In the pale moonlight”, or what was the title? Favourite episode.
It's a damn good one
LSKG
I remember enjoying this show as a child. I don't recall any of this though... battlestar galactica and stargate kind of absorbed me
ThorinNL
I couldn't get the hang of the remake of battlestar galactica.
it was so slow and human centric drama filled. I loved it but so many episodes you could skip or fast forward through and be fine
I watched the original one in the 70's. couldn't wrap my head around some gender changes.
Look closely and you'll see why
Elroydb
It fuckin blew me away when I figured out Colonel Tigh voiced Doc Mitchell in New Vegas
tracereading
Who's calling Rom an idiot? They're gonna get a one way trip to a Cardassian labor camp!
TheLesserOfTwoWeevils
Rom was genuinely an idiot in the early episodes. He latter developed into 'idiot who is an engineering savant'
AustralopithecusBoisei
and a very good father
Him threatening to burn down the bar was just *chef's kiss*
I mean, he DID end up with Chase Masterson. Pretty sure Rom don't care what we call him.
"Willie hears ye. Willie dun't keer."
blindio
also ruler of an interstellar empire thing
stulfer
Still the best star trek ever made
jwhennig
Boy, that is the best description of Dukat ever. He did think it was his show.
rbudrick
I thought they mean Morn, hahah
Marc Alaimo can eat the hell out of some scenery.
Northwindlowlander
Someone on here described Dukat as thinking he's in a sitcom rather than an episodic series, and never quite understanding why his frenemies
haven't got over his last bullshit. Like "guys, that was last week!"
AnyUsernameWillDoForMe
Lovely
I thought they meant Morn, hahah
HonestCommentFarmer
Oh, I thought we were talking about Morn. You could never shut that guy up whenever you got him started.
but OH MAN, the stories he can tell. voice like an angel fed only on honey.
skyezer
I love the Dukat Twitter account, if you haven't checked it out it will give you a good chuckle!
jebascho
link? or at least the twitter handle?
zxwaffen
https://twitter.com/realGulDukat
the "real" is a great touch. thank you for the link.
suffyr
When I finally saw his real face in the 50s episode, I was like... he looks less scary as Dukat.
PutItInNeutral
I will see your make-up-less Marc Alaimo and raise you one real life demon. https://images.app.goo.gl/Kcuv3rf1xr7Be8gN6
Ok that's way worse!
I know, right?
EstilgarDono
Seriously one out of every five episodes was "watch the Irishman suffer"
MeowWoof
I especially appreciated the "they finally paid my wife enough money to show up" episodes
Lampmonster
In Worf's trial episode it's revealed poor, peaceful O'Brien has been in over 200 combat engagements. Universe hates him.
ThePastmaster
Worf's trial? Wasn't it the Cardies that wanted Miles dead?
This was when the Klingons tried to frame Worf for blowing up a ship. O'Brien was testifying and was trying to dodge the question of what -
he would have done in Worf's place. He said "I'm not a combat expert" and the prosecutor entered into evidence his extensive military -
record and decorations and had him unwillingly declared a combat expert. He says Worf fucked up, and of course Worf takes it like bro.
keillrandor
Obligatory: https://chiefobrienatwork.com/
BelowAverage355
Supposedly there was an in joke between the writers after accidentally hurting him in all featured episodes "O'Brien must suffer"
SpiceSlag
I never watched any Star Trek properly but Colm is one of our finest lads so I'd watch just for himself.
froggyzoomzoomEABOD
I think Colm was probably the best actor of the group (or maybe second to Rene A.)and they played to their strengths? Sisko was AWEFUL, the
Ferengie were cartoon characters, Worf was one note, Kira was ok, I guess. I liked Garrak.
TychoTychoAlba
Nana Visitor carried the first season.
NotWelcomehere
Hey, it's cool man, we're all wrong sometimes :D

We all liked Garrak.
Especially Jules. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

She was space Umbridge
LackadasicalGoblin
I despise Winn because she's not cartoonishly evil or anything. She's someone you could meet in real life. Esp in retail >.<
CerealKillerasinfruitloops
It's why her character was so good. She felt like someone you could meet in everyday life.
And thoroughly despise in everyday life lol
DaringSteel

Most annoying character in the trek universe. Say "will of the prophets" one more time
TI99Kitty
"Say 'will of the prophets' one more time, motherfucker! I dare you" -- Commander Sisko, as played by Samuel L. Jackson
Genius
Sam in ST? As Sisko?.... Go on...
"I have HAD IT with these muthafuckin' Cardassians on this muthafuckin' station!" Actually, though, I see him playing the role more like ->
Nick Fury in The Avengers, especially in the scene where Fury was talking to the World Security Council.
Felinicus
I always thought of her as Space Umbridge.
DanBranDaMan
As you wish, my child.
xstickman
For years I somehow missed that she's portrayed by Louise Fletcher, winner of the Best Actress Oscar for one flew over the cuckoo's nest
Nurse Ratched. Pure evil.

I hated her character. Recent rewatch made me love hating her character. She did such a good job.
The actress did an amazing job with the cahracter.

I kept wanting Kai Opaka to show back up and beat the living shit out of her. Would have made a great finale.

Heck her last episode seemed to suggest she would come back
