I'm in my first watch of DS9, just finished Season 3. I can't believe how much I like Ferengi episodes, because of how good Quark and Rom are. The most recent thing that had me tearing up is when Rom

S3 DS9 spoilersgoes off on Quark for fucking up Nog's chances at Starfleet by rigging the holosuite training program. Rom is such a good character and from what I understand in memes, its only gonna get better.

Rom supremecy. Quark is so well acted too. Gets even better when Wallace Shawn (known socialist) shows up as Grand Nagus. This is such a rambling post, I'm sorry (but am not sorry for loving Rom).

I'd love it if they did more episodes per season and had some less bombastic adventures, but I really enjoyed what they put out with season 2 and I'd be more than happy to go on that exact same ride for many more seasons. I think SNW has managed to let its characters breathe and live real lives a lot better than other modern Trek, despite the season lengths.

why is everything there a decaying flashback to the 1950s where everything is falling apart?

It might be that the capitalist world power next door has had an embargo on them since the 1950s. And look at all they've accomplished despite that. Now imagine what they'd have accomplished had they been allowed to thrive.

I discovered this when I started getting issues reported on my public repo for a personal project. Whoops haha.
