DS9 was a show in which:

  • Sisko suddenly yelled loudly when no one was expecting it
  • Odo’s most frequent line was basically “harumph”
  • We all fell madly in love with Kira
  • Bashir paid Jake and Nog to steal his stuffed bear back from his ex
  • Jadzia informed us the spots go all the way down
  • Garak was just a plain and simple tailor
  • QUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK………”
  • Lwaxana made being horny an airborne disease
  • O’Brien sighed a lot
  • Moogie wasn’t having any of that sexist bullshit
  • Worf lived on the Defiant because socializing sucks
  • A little ship took a little trip
  • Sisko, Kira, Jadzia, and Bashir got trapped in a game in Quark’s bar
  • DABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
  • The moonlight was pale and the stars were far beyond
  • Rom organized a labor revolt
  • Nog told Jake he didn’t like his fanfiction
  • Dukat got a massive splinter in his ass and Kira pulled it out
  • Quark explained a spreadsheet to the Klingon high council
  • Sisko and Jadzia threw tribbles at Kirk
  • Nog put oatmeal in a bucket, said it was Odo, and threw it at Jake
  • Morn drank much, spoke none

I think what I love about Deep Space Nine is that it’s an interesting mix. You’ve got political issues between Bajor and Cardassia, the imminent threat of war with the Dominion looming overhead, the interpersonal relationships of all the characters- which are deeper and more complex than a lot of previous Star Trek shows, I think.

And then- Sisko invites Jake’s girlfriend for dinner and doesn’t tell him! Quark suddenly finds a baby! It’s like they occasionally just decided “What sitcom tropes do we love?” It’s fantastic.
