@ryanmarkel @richardmtl Utopia vs pragmatic. They do it well vs, say SG1 vs SGU that tried too hard to make that turn.

@ryanmarkel @richardmtl Exactly and well said. Re aging, rewatching most TNG is painful in comparison. Not as bad as the pilot of TOS…

@ryanmarkel @richardmtl Don’t want to spoil or tease, but that voice is probably my fav of the various Star Treks.

@ryanmarkel @richardmtl yeah, once DS9 stops being a third iteration of Star Trek & owns itself, it gets solid.

@ryanmarkel @richardmtl Agreed. The bulk of the first season had the actors still figuring out their roles.

@ryanmarkel @richardmtl I appreciate passively rewatching DS9 through y’all.
