This is an incoherent flaily post about DS9 squee.

[eponymous_rose]

Last year, after I rewatched all of TOS and TNG for the first time in years and years, I decided I'd stop there and not go straight on to DS9. Why? Because I remembered loving the show but having a lot of it go over my six-year-old head, and I guessed that as soon as I started watching again, I'd be utterly hooked and would have to commit to watching the whole thing in a ridiculously short period of time.

Guess who just finally caved and watched the pilot? Oh yes. If anyone finds a means of administering seven seasons of television via IV, let me know.

Character development and plot and politics and Sisko and Odo and Kira and Miles and Jake and Quark and Bashir and Dax and did I mention Sisko, because Sisko ♥. The baseball speech! Linear existence. Oh, man.

Anyway, I know I've seen most of the first few seasons, but it's been long enough that I just get the odd jolt of déjà-vu, which is perfect, and now I must be careful to avoid spoilers when compiling trek_news, yes.

That's... all I wanted to say, really. \o/

Eeeeee! I just started watching DS9 for the first time this past week and I'm totally hooked on it... and I'm not even done with season 1 yet.

PLEASE SQUEE WITH ME. XD

*needs Kira icon badly*

*Flails* Oh, DS9. My very favorite of all Star Treks. ♥ Someday I'll do a rewatch, but I'm afraid of it not living up to my insanely-loving memories of it. Someday.

Yay DS9! I love that show so much. And . . . you've seen "most of the first few seasons"? But you've seen "Trials and Tribble-ations," right? Because if you haven't, then I think I might hear your squee across two countries when you get to that episode.

THE BEST OF THE TREKS. Yay, one of us one of us.

I think you'll love it even more than you thought possible as a grown up.

I'm watching it too! \o/ I'm at season 5, though, so I will be careful not to spoiler you. :) It's the only Trek I haven't seen before, and I think it might be my favourite. I love all the characters so much, I just want to squish them forever. ♥

Hee! cosmic_llin and I are mainlining season 1 at the moment, and I'd never seen it before, and isn't it fabulous? :D

YAY! DS9 is my favourite Trek...haven't watched in forever, but I LOVED it!!!

[usuallyhats]

SO MUCH DS9 LOVE! I'm rewatching it at the moment and it is so very wonderful.

[tree_and_leaf]

DS9 is love! It's my favourite Trek, really.

DS9 is the only Trek TV series I wholeheartedly love. It's amazing! Seasons six and seven in particular are just astonishingly good.

DS9 was my favorite Trek ever! It wasn't exactly consistent, and I disagreed vehemently with some choices they made... but still, I've always found it to be the most satisfying of the bunch. Have fun!

OH DS9. ♥ My love for DS9 knows no bounds. And you're only on season one! You have SO MUCH AWESOMENESS TO COME \0/

I love watching DS9 (and own all seasons on DVD) - but I could never really get into the fanfic. Guess that universe was just too closed in canon in my brain already (thanks to the many realistic relationships and the real development).

Oh, DS9! I want to love that show, really I do, but I've always lacked the patience for it. But yes, Trials and Tribble-ations is the best thing ever. I remember watching it years and years ago, and I would give my eyeteeth to have it. Also, "In the Pale Moonlight." Spectacular Sisko-centric episode.

[ravenskyewalker.livejournal.com]

Arrggh, I must watch all of DS9 one of these days. I got distracted by crazy "Babylon 5" love back in the day, and never went back to DS9. Someday, I must see everything I missed.

[bubbles83.livejournal.com]

YAY DEEP SPACE NINE LOVE! It is my favorite of all the Trek series. I would follow The Sisko anywhere.

Is DS9 not the most awesome thing ever? ♥

[selenak.livejournal.com]

Oh, DS9 is just wonderful. :)

TOS will always be my favorite Trek, but DS9 is very close second (as in mere decimal places behind). The writing was awesome, I loved all of the characters, and it really went a lot of places Trek had never gone before. ::loves::
