deep space nine is one of my favorite shows. the idea of a star trek show that stays in one place is a unique concept, and i love the shows execution of it. i love seeing the relations between these different governments over time, and its so cool that ds9 doesnt always try to portray starfleet (the larger government or the main characters of the show) as perfect or constantly justify their actions. aside from the main story, ds9 also has some of my favorite characters across all of star trek, and i love seeing how they interact wih each other in breaks from the main plot. in general just an amazing and comforting show.
