This statement, which I’ve come across multiple times during my research, that you have to “fight your way” through the first season and that it only really gets going in the second, makes less and less sense to me. All the key characters who are important for the rest of the series, aside from those… — read more

I originally planned to do my LOST rewatch in 2024, or at least, the idea kept popping into my head over and over again. My last rewatch was around 2020, and I still vividly remember how all the Oceanic passengers helped me through a really tough valley in my life, back then when the show… — read more

In my last post, I was almost at the end of the fifth season, and now I’ve reached it. First, we get “Empok Nor” (S05E24), an episode that once again deserves a big compliment to the set designers. The usual station must be rebuilt again to represent DS9’s sister station, Empok Nor. This episode also… — read more

Something that I noticed right from the start of Star Trek: Voyager is the very diverse aliens introduced with DS9. While TNG had already gone some wild ways, Voyager and DS9 take it to a whole new level. Physical characteristics are shaped, for example, by various environmental conditions or developments. In humans, this is noticeable… — read more

Although the fourth season already shows the first signs of the war looming on the horizon, it still takes care of some characters before heading into battle. With Worf joining the station, providing another link to TNG, this character must first be thoroughly explored. This happens partly with Dax, but Worf also gets his own… — read more

In my last post, we wrapped up season two, and season three doesn’t take long to hit hard with all its events. What was previously hinted at cautiously now reveals its cruel face in the form of the Jem’Hadar. Personally, I find the Jem’Hadar even more intense than the Borg. They’re ruthless warriors with nothing… — read more

With the frequency I started posting at the beginning, I need to dial it back a bit because I can’t really keep up anymore! Especially since I started writing too late, so I’m now further ahead in watching than in writing, which doesn’t make things any easier. On top of that, I’m not writing directly… — read more

We are now in the second season, which begins with a three-part storyline featuring a familiar but somewhat hidden face. Tim Russ, whom we know from Star Trek: Voyager, appears here as a Klingon. Interestingly, he later reappears as a member of a rebel group in the Mirror Universe. I always find it fascinating when… — read more

First of all, I might have gotten a bit mixed up when counting the episodes. This is because, during my research on Memory Alpha, there are always two numbering systems: one referring to all episodes and the other to the episodes within the season itself. This can get confusing in the first season since the… — read more

And with the episode Progress, we’ve reached the first filler episode—though this isn’t meant as negatively as it might sound. At least most filler episodes in DS9 aren’t nearly as tiresome as those in Star Trek: Voyager. For many, this is an episode about an elderly man and his two companions, who Kira is tasked… — read more
