[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] All I know is, the more available DS9 is, the better. TNG was the rebirth . . . DS9 was the culmination. Fuck Voyager. There for awhile, my Trek fandom was waning, along with my interest in fiction in general. Deep Space Nine reminded me of the possibilities of fiction, and the rewards of it. But beyond that, it reminded me of what Trek was for me, and has become for me again. As I've been acquiring DS9 on DVD, I've seen things I'd never seen before. DS9 wasn't available in my area after the first or second season, and what little I'd seen since was what a friend was able to snag from satellite feeds almost a decade ago, and what was available online since then. Sure, I'd read episode synopses, transcripts, Jammer's reviews . . . in my quest for tech info, I'd read it all. But as I've watched the series, I've seen the fulfillment of Trek's potential. Voyager, Enterprise . . . even The Next Generation . . . in my personal opinion, these don't hold a candle to a Cardassian monstrosity and its extraordinary cast of characters. It's funny, really. My limited exposure to DS9 from back in the day gave me a limited sense of the series. If each series could be said to have a texture and a color to it, then what little I knew of DS9 left it as dark and dingy and brocade. But now that I'm watching it all, I see more. I see the rainbow hues, and can appreciate the depth of that brocade fiber that before seemed so ugly and unfinished. Now I realize it is a tapestry, and a surprisingly beautiful and moving one. I am a Niner. And, at the moment, a drunken Niner, but that's not important right now. And as I race through my newly-acquired Season Six, I can think of nothing better than the fact that others might come to know DS9 . . . on Spike or anywhere else. Then maybe there will be others who will look at this and understand, instead of just saying "the fuck was he drinking?" That is all. [/QB][/QUOTE]
