Everyone on star trek has anxiety, panic attacks, ptsd and imposter syndrome now. It is too much!
Barclay was OK. (In TNG.) He had his episodes but they were interesting because of the juxtaposition against the others.
Like >60% of plot & characters are now about anxiety and mental (un)health. It is individuated vs collective.
I also deeply resent the attempt to create equivalency between AI and LGBT people.
No wonder people hate woke.


that’s a wild besmirching of ds9 season 1
To be fair there are some standout silly episodes like the one with Rumpelstiltskin or “go along home”. The good episodes, like the one where someone tries to steal Dax, sort of feel like they are in a later season, so they might be forgotten.
Silly trek is best trek

Easy to forget that the season as a whole was bad because of just how good it landed the start and finish. Emissary is good, Duet is excellent, In the Hand of the Prophets was good. As a whole it’s definitely better than season 1 of TNG or VOY and these individiual episodes are better than anything nutrek ever produced,
