The trouble with these Tribbles, they’re fuzzy and they’re cute but I can never find the hole.
I mean what?
Yes, it’s from Deep Space Nine Season 5, Episode 6 “Trials and Tribble-ations”.

Yes you should.

Yes. The character arcs are the best thus far. It’s less “police procedural” than the prior two. And Sisko is the best Captain.

You mean emissary I hope ;)

Especially when the first season episodes open up with a story arc involving nationalism, immigration and xenophobia.

It’s great when it was on TV. I thought Sisko was a great, friendly, fatherly figure, and Odo and Quark were great fun.
After having seen some eps with my wife, and reading stuff on the wiki, fucking hell. Sisko is basically Douglas MacArthur, and takes picard’s “first duty of every starfleet officer is to the truth” speech and sees it as a personal challenge to defy it as hard has he can, while screaming “You betrayed your uniform!” to any maquis he sees.
Which, to be fair, the maquis are not in the right, but fucking whatever.

The charector arcs in the show are complex, especially for the early 90s. Sisko is largely an honorable man, but the nature of the roles he assumes strain him, force him in difficult directions.
The marquies in a lot of ways are personal to him. A dear friend defects to them early, and then he gets rolled later by others he trusts. He basically has direct bad blood with them.
Some of the other choices he makes? Fucked up, but to the shows credit, they lean into it and dont pretend hes the good guy when they happen.

definitely. I also had a hard time starting it, but it gets really really good after the first couple episodes
