I decided to start rewatching DS9 today, I guess because I wanted to watch good Trek. Right from the start of The Emissary it's clear this will be very different from TNG. It's a far better pilot than Encounter at Farpoint (though that successfully set the tone for TNG). And it's beautiful watching The Sisko chew the scenery from the beginning too.

Star Trek's producers had 4 or 5 seasons to get their poo poo together by the time DS9 came around. The first two seasons of TNG were rough.

season 1 and 2 of tng had some issues but really the thing that caps it all off is that horrible season 2 finale that was just a flashback episode, a RIKER flashback episode

If you think that's bad, you should see what Voyager's first-season finale was. Hell, I'm amazed it even got a second season given how utterly tepid the first season is. Not that the rest of the show's any better, but relatively speaking.

I got to meet Michael Bell at a Transformers convention when I was in high school because he did the voices for a bunch of characters. I didn't realize he had been on Star Trek like three times until I got to shake his hand :3

Those Klingon titties were ok as far as titties go but why don't any of the aliens ever have titties on their backs or something like I mean like the new Klingons look like they evolved from like spiders or crabs or rocks or something that keeps its babies on their backs where you'd think the titties would go plus Klingon dudes have their wieners halfway up their bellies like spiders

worf de-evolved into some kind of spider in that one episode whereas riker became a man in an ape suit, so that this is accurate

Incorrect. Barclay was the spider, and Worf was an armadillo-rhino thing.

Troi, IIRC, turned into a merfolk.

Of all the fields of science Trek has criminally mishandled, genetics is perhaps their greatest sin.

I love that they just offhand mention that she got plastic surgery and is fine after she violently collapsed on the ground and had to be put into stasis

I just finished TNG for the first time and watched the first ep of DS9. Sisko's excited-noises are my favorite thing about the show so far.

How many holodeck stories are in this series compared to TNG?

The tech exists, they go in there sometimes, even in episode 2, but there's no episodes centered around it.

The holodeck does get featured a bit more towards the end of the series, but it's handled way better than in TNG.

DS9 acknowledges that the holosuites are mostly for masturbation, and the few holo episodes are pretty good, at least until they start padding out episodes with Vic Fontaine’s god forsaken lounge act.

The only time I thought the holodeck was cool/useful in TNG was when Geordi used it to restage the scene of a video in that episode where he turns into a chameleon person but then like an episode later he's back on there getting weird with holodeck ladies

I'm sorry but in the TNG timeline the infamous coco-no-no scene was far more important to affording a greater understanding of the greater Trek universe than that chameleon crap.

DS9 implies that is the primary use of holodecks.

Come to think of it, that was one of my favourite running jokes in the show. Almost any time someone mentioned holosuites quark would chime in about some offer on a new handjob program or whatever.

The crew has learned to build in the holographic version of a "boss screen" so if Picard barges in it teleports linen breeches onto you and puts you in the middle of a Shakespeare or something.

Which is why Picard watches all holodeck activity from his fixed terminal.

I like the one where they come up with a flimsy reason why they gotta do an Oceans-style heist to save his program from getting deleted or something.
