Oct. 22nd, 2013 09:56 pmMidway through the second season of Deep Space Nine, I’m very happy I’ve finally gotten around to watching in earnest - I’d seen a few episodes here and there over the years, and coming across them as I go is a particular delight.
It hits no end of my buttons - found families, happily married couples, lots of aliens, long-running emotional development, examination followed by deconstruction and reconstruction of Star Trek itself. It’s like someone put Star Trek into a centrifuge, took out everything I didn’t like about the franchise, refined everything I loved, and served it to me with sprinkles on top. Less than two seasons in, it’s the Trek of my heart.
That said, I’m really looking forward to finishing it, so I can write something on how Bashir is incredibly easy to read as being on the autism spectrum and most of the given evidence supports that theory. Because it really, really does.
