Much of this comment is disingenuous (come on, an unaffiliated Reddit post as evidence? Bada-Bing as a ripoff of Ocean’s 11 because...they were both heists? Suggesting that DS9 is a rip-off of B5, despite the fact that DS9 was in production before the B5 pilot was public and that plenty of sci-fi stories have involved…

I suspect your post will not age well. Just like comments made years ago why black people and white people should be separate. Why gay people should be condemned to less rights. Why women shouldn’t have credit cards absent a man’s approval....

...this issue, honestly, is quite stupid. It comes down to treating people…

Look at the comments by Radcliffe and the comments by Rowling, and tell me which is the more reasoned response by a happier person.

Beyond the hatefulness of her views, it makes her look really, really bad to be so petty and vicious toward these grown-up kid actors who are by all accounts and appearances, really great people, in spite of all the show business weirdness they must have encountered

I mean, the Dominion— and that they’re Odo’s people— is the start of Season Three. And the war doesn’t really start until Season Six. I think they did a fairly good job of pacing it out.
Also, re: Odo finding his people coming too soon, I fully disagree. Maybe because I had been used to the 80s & 90s way of doing…

It’s almost shocking how well-adjusted the adults the Harry Potter child stars grew up to be are, even beyond the “big 3" of Daniel, Emma and Rupert.

I second that endorsement! Give me more of those articles!

Duet is incredible television. And lots of DS9's best episodes have nothing to do with the Dominion War – Far Beyond The Stars and The Visitor rank right up there with In The Pale Moonlight or anything else in the Dominion arc.

It’s a little unfair to wish for serialization when it wasn’t really a thing back then (especially for a show that was struggling to all of a sudden try something super experimental), but, my goodness, how I wish Year of Hell was a season long arc.

People think DS9 only got good when the Dominion stuff started?

The idea that it took all ST series a year was earned by TNG and DS9, but hasn’t really held true since then. Both shows took a year to find themselves.

The thing with DS9 is that it was good from the start. Did it get better? Absolutely. But season 1 of DS9 is miles better than most Trek first seasons, and of the live-action Treks I think only TOS and Strange New Worlds have better season ones.

I’m one of those fans that loves all Trek on at least some level, but there was something extra special about DS9 right from the beginning. Essentially, throwing out the “perfection” of the Federation, etc., from the get-go made it an infinitely more interesting story to watch. Again, love the original, TNG, Voyager,…

But I’d say season 6 or even 7 was best for DS9.

Some were feeling a little uneasy about the Rogue/Magneto romance (the show doesn’t do it any favors by basically explaining Erik was a groomer!), but with that out of the way, Rogue has really been able to cut loose. Totally agree about looking beyond Wolverine. The show has done right by many of the other team member…

Watching ‘X-Men ‘97' now is a slightly weird experience for me. I was a kid when I watched the original series, and didn’t know I was queer or neurodivergent. Now I’ve grown up and learned both those things about myself, and the whole “otherness” theme of the show is hitting in a completely new way.

The early X-Men films were also coming out shortly after Batman & Robin, which was probably the most “comic book-y” movie since the 70s Superman movies, and was loathed by both critics and fans. So I don’t blame people back then from going “okay, we want to pivot hard away from some of the wackier aspects of the…

Thank you for catching this, dumb mistake on my part (it’s the most chilling line from the first episode!), has now been fixed

Tribalism is ingrained in the human condition. It served an important evolutionary purpose which humans no longer require in order to succeed as a species. I find it troubling how many think that “Separate but equal’ is a viable option for society. Historically it has never worked. Not one time. People believing that…

Correct. Which is nuts.
