“Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is a dark gritty space opera that deals with many heavy themes such as war, prejudice, authoritarianism, and the acceptance of cultures that may be different from our own”.
Star Trek Deep Space Nine is the continuing story of a mysterious individual named Morn. Each episode features a message from Morn to the crew of the station, in these coded messages rest the fate of the station, the planet Bajor, and the entire quadrant.
I was breaking as he held his chin and looked around, as if the experiments he was conducting were fascinating... You know, something more than dumping a viscous liquid into various containers.
LOVED that episode for bringing out a tender caring facet of the character. Especially after all the kneejerk ACAB posts I see on ST Facebook pages whenever his name comes up. So much brilliance unlocked by this series, really expanded the scope of the Trekiverse!
@@JohnRBIV I'm not trying to insight anything or start an fight of any kind, but I honestly laugh when he's on screen. There are multiple moments throughout the show that I replay multiple times and my whole family gathers around to laugh at the sheer absurdity of the acting. My mom _hates_ sci fi, but even _she_ finds it comedic. I understand that everyone has their own tastes, but I truly believe he is objectively a very poor actor.
For all non-trekkies: Star Trek is a very deep, philosophical and political franchise. Deep Space 9 especially, it's about enlightenment, political intriges, Odo mixing batter while doing that with his head, gay shit, identity and war
Hahahaaa! "Mr. Worf, your wife is here ... (small ship flies to him inside engine room)" Trekkies who haven't watched that episode, won't get the joke. One of my favorite episodes in DS9!
DS9 definitely had its fair share of weird moments. More than the other series. Maybe it was to balance the darker elements. You could easily do 3 more of these with DS9. Quark being "killed" in the Holosuite. Garak shows ways he can kill Quark to.. Quark.
DS9: Drama, tragedy, horrors of war, ptsd, terrorism, loss of innocence, betrayal, questionable morality, GUL DUKAT, mental torment, clashing of beliefs, shakespearean monologues. Also ds9:
I love that you put the flip Ezri does in "Take Me Out To The Holosuite" but you left out the part right after that where Dr Bashir yells "NOW THAT'S A FANCY DAN!"
Dutch tv once aired a DS9 episode with the subtitles of a daytime soap, that made it look like a gay drama because a lot of the the women have male names in the U.S soaps.
my favorite part of "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" is that Max Grodénchik (Rom) was actually a phenomenal baseball player who considered going pro. IIRC he had to put his mitt on the wrong hand just to prevent his instincts from kicking in.
Max Grodénchik, the actor who played Rom, actually played baseball seriously and considered going pro. The only way he could fake being bad at it for this DS9 episode was to play lefty, even though he's actually right handed.
it is more than the other treks from the 90s. The whole dominion war arc is probably the darkest part of trek as a whole, not counting the new stuff that has the name star trek on it
Honestly the fact that DS9 still has those silly out-of-context moments despite it used to being one of the grittiest entries in the series helps make it work. It still has the charm of Golden Age Trek and never really got that lost in the sauce. Compare this to Modern Trek, where it's so far up its own ass in the grittiness it forgets to have that basic humanity and charm.
You can't lump all modern Trek together, people seem to agree some of it is better than others- just like classic Trek. I didn't care for Lower Decks but it's not as you described, it takes itself less seriously than classic Star Trek. And then Picard season 3 was a great reunion for the TNG cast and not too dark.
I cracked up at the inclusion of “It looks like your wife is here” but am disappoited by the lack of “Mother! Take those clothes off this instant!”
That was a great moment 😂

The gentle authority Odo exerts over that... I'm going to say emu... is delightful.

finally, someone who understands the true meaning of ds9
I didn’t like Morn, he would never shut up!
Maybe they would have gotten the message if he didnt talk so damn much.
Seriously every scene with Morn is a wall of text. He just keeps talking.
That's what "good Morning" is really about.
@@Kirbo4004he just kept talking in one long unbroken sentence moving from topic to topic it was really quite hypnotic
I do believe you've forgotten Odo's iconic quote,"killing your own clone is still murder"
That is clear context though
“It’s about courage, and it’s also about faith, and it’s also about heart.”
Cause I got faith!!!! Of the heart!!!!

without context you’d think there’s a lot more baseball in the show
One fucking episode against an entire crew of Vulcans who don’t know what luck is😂
And there should have been.
I swear half of these are just Julian and Odo being Julian and Odo… 😂
For being the "serious" trek, they sure got up to silly shit

Ah, Keevan's death at the hands of Ferengi and subsequent use as a corpse puppet. Seldom have I had the honor to witness more fitting justice...

Garak cosplaying as Carl Sagan at 2:03 is one of my favorites.

Nothing is really out of context for me. DS9 is one of my all time favorite series ever. This was just a nice trip down memory lane.
Dutch tv once aired a DS9 episode with the subtitles of a daytime soap, that made it look like a gay drama because a lot of the the women have male names in the U.S soaps.
What are ya talking about? With Garak and Bashir it is a gay drama!
@@theangryholmesian4556 haha, I heard about that but I never felt that tension between the two. I liked it more with Bashir and O'Brien.
Now, that is funny
my favorite part of "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" is that Max Grodénchik (Rom) was actually a phenomenal baseball player who considered going pro. IIRC he had to put his mitt on the wrong hand just to prevent his instincts from kicking in.
"What was that?"
....
*brEAD.*
Odo playing with shapes is kind of hilarious
Bread!
And I have to say, watching Odo interact with a baby changeling blob is more engaging than anything Discovery or Picard has to offer.

Amen!
I think that blob is an accurate representation of your brain, then.
@@Jokie155 It's true, though, about it being more interesting than anything new trek has had to offer.

DS9 is a very funny show. I honestly do not see it as dark and gritty. the characters are too lively, too passionate for that.
it is more than the other treks from the 90s. The whole dominion war arc is probably the darkest part of trek as a whole, not counting the new stuff that has the name star trek on it
As a Trek fan and also an anime fan, I enjoyed Garak's line to eat the rod
That scene with Odo talking to a cup in 0.5 speed makes it even better. And somehow adds context but not the one that writers intented.
Honestly the fact that DS9 still has those silly out-of-context moments despite it used to being one of the grittiest entries in the series helps make it work. It still has the charm of Golden Age Trek and never really got that lost in the sauce.
