I've never even watched Star Trek, but this kind of makes me want to start watching DS:9.

Is it any good? Where should I start?

[(Anonymous)]

DS9 is great and you should start with the first episode. Season 1 is a little awkward but it's necessary to see all of it.

DS9 is the best trek imo.

At the beginning.

I mean, you could start with some of the TNG episodes about Chief O'Brien I guess; but no, it's probably best just to start at the beginning of DS9 (no colon!). It's seven seasons, you can do it slowly.

Maybe three years ago, I was trying to catch up on the later seasons I hadn't seen, and I think I got through one of them, but not to the end.

The thing about DS9 is that it's a large ensemble of characters with a lot of different recurring space-fantasy elements. So in a season, you can have a bunch of episodes about the Dominion War, then a weird episode about the Ferengi culture, a time-travel episode about the Cardassian occupation of Bajor, an episode about O'Brien's family, and an episode about the Prophets. It's not all one thing, and it's OK to like some parts better than others.

^ this. Also you can skip any episode with the word "profit" in the title.

like, this is your opinion and that's fine but I wish people wouldn't say this kind of thing to people who haven't watched something. Anon can decide whether they like those episodes or not.

fuck off

[raspberryrain]

Actually, I agree. I like Quark and Rom, but "Ferengi culture" is a bit wacky for me. But anon might like the Ferengi!

No.

You might want to start with TNG, tbh. I started with Voyager (ran concurrent with DS9 at one point, but kind of the third series) and I had absolutely no clue what was going on. I backtracked to DS9 (ran concurrent with DS9, but more the second series) and I still felt a bit clueless. So, I went all the way back to TNG (the first, not including The Original Series), which references the original, but doesn't really have story elements or plot that continues through to TNG, DS9 and VOY (save for a few things). But, TNG carries story through to DS9 and VOY, so, personally, I think you should just start at the beginning of the newer incarnation of Trek (not considering the new films). The Original Series is a lot of fun and very good, but it's not completely necessary to understand TNG, DS9 or VOY. You should give it a go and some point too.

Don't skip seasons or episodes (like some jerk suggested). Some people hate certain characters and try and shit on new, potential fans but telling them just to avoid certain things. They want you to watch the show for them. Don't listen! Watch the show for YOU, and learn what you like and don't like.

There's also Enterprise, which I've seen a bit of. It's the fourth series, though chronologically it comes before The Original Series. People usually watch it last. It's the most maligned Trek, but I think it has good points and bad points, just as all the Treks do.

Happy Treking!
