IsnDeep Space 9 worth the watch?

Deep Space 9 is awesome.

Garak is one of the best characters in the Trek universe. Easily the best supporting character.

Yes, it is worth a watch.

I am in Season 5 of my watch.

Very much worth it.

Packed with more "great" characters than any other Star Trek.

Odo, Garek, Kira, O'Brien, Dukay, Eddington, etc.

Great storyline too.

Has been my favorite overall ST show.

One of the better shows . . . with the worst captain

I never cared for it, because they never went anywhere. And the lesbian was annoying.

I actually just finished a re-watch of it. It's probably my favorite of the three "next generation" series. It's not like the other Treks, as it is more serialized than the others especially towards the final season. (There aren't a lot of the one-off episodes that don't connect to others.) Also, it doesn't show the future as some utopia where everyone, for the most part, gets along. The Federation is at war for much of the series.

But this makes for excellent character development. Garak, Dukat, and (over a briefer period) Dumar are all great characters. Quark and Odo's "friendship" is portrayed well in my opinion, and Quark develops nicely too.

It explores science, faith, duty, and politics pretty well. One of the better episodes actually goes back to the Tribble episode of the Original Series.

If you want to see what it's like with the Federation (and the whole Alpha Quadrant) in a full on war, then definitely watch it. I loved it. But like some have said, things are slow developing, and the actual war doesn't formally start until like the 5th season.

I started playing the old MMO Star Trek Online a couple weeks ago (it was released in like 2010). All the Trekkie Nerds state emphatically that DS9 is THE best of all the series.

They have also been talking a new series coming out soon-ish.


ETA: According to Wikipedia: "Filming
The series began filming at Pinewood Toronto Studios on January 24, 2017, under the working title Green Harvest (a reference to the working title Blue Harvest used for the film Return of the Jedi).[46][47][21] Guillermo Navarro and Colin Hoult serve as cinematographers for the series.[21] Previously, set construction was to begin within a month of June 2016 for a filming period of that September to around March 2017.[29] However, by that September, production was not expected to begin until November.[1] The next month, after Fuller stepped down as showrunner, set construction was expected to be completed by the end of 2016, with filming to begin "shortly thereafter".[48] Filming is set to continue in Toronto until September 7."
