You wondered if there would be continuity. Well, the opening battle. 😎
Will DS9 be on the 20th now?
FYI IIRC the two episodes after the DS9 pilot are listed in the wrong order on the dvd box set. I don't think watching them out of order is going to create any continuity issues but I thought you might want to be aware
keep it brief, lol we are star trek fans we dont know how to do that
Truly Enjoy it!
I hate making comparisons between TNG and DS9. It's like trying to choose which of my kids I like best.
Yea I will always love TNG in a certain kind of way like my first love or my parents. But DS9 is probably my favoritest trek!
A lot of people will say that the first 2 seasons of DS9 are weak; but while they are certainly weakER than the rest of the show, they actually aren't bad at all. They're certainly lightyears ahead of the first two seasons of TNG. There are really only 3 bad episodes in season 1 for example; and I'd put them at low C to High D territory; not E tier monstrosities.
There are a lot of parallels between the first two seasons of TNG and DS9. Not in a bad way like, say, copying or being derivative. It's just that the first two seasons are, as you say, weakER than the later ones. But, they also have their own diamonds in the rough that roughly equate (quality wise, not plot wise) to Measure of a Man or Q Who. Between the overall ho-hum vibe, and the excellent exceptions, of what was the first two seasons of both shows, they are vaguely similar.
TNG is my favourite Star Trek show, but I do think DS9 is the best one overall. Voyager is the fourth on my list, but has in my opinion the best first season. Enterprise's second season was the worst in the franchise up until that point, but the third and especially fourth were a great comeback.
Can't wait to be nervous every week for months on end 😉Sidebar - Did you announce when "The Black Hole" reaction is being dropped?
There are a number of movies ahead of it to be posted so it will be a few weeks
2nd half of TNG and what DS9 evolves into are the last great period of ST on TV. Savour this as you watch, because these highs won't come again.
There are a surprisingly high number of Voyager and Enterprise apologists out there these days who would disagree. I personally think Voyager is mostly fine if you accept it as Diet TNG. Enterprise I don't think I will ever get the appeal of or understand why people try to lump it in with the good era of Star Trek.
Wait til they find out we've all been hyping this show up as a big joke
Unfortunately I can only give your comment a single thumbs up. Rest assured I'd be up-thumbing it for several minutes otherwise.
Bloody Cardassians! I can't imagine who i might be quoting from The Emissary, though i'm sure many of the Enterprise crew thought the same during Chain Of Command. I think now you have got to know the Cardassians a bit more i'll mention they are my joint favourite species along with Romulans.
I watched TOS in syndicated reruns in the early 1970s and then everything else through Enterprise as it premiered on broadcast television. I own TOS and TNG on Blu-ray, but I haven't seen DS9 since it first aired. Having you guys along for the ride led me to buy it so I can rewatch an episode and then enjoy your reactions and discussion. It is fun to see how guys three decades younger than I react to the shows. I enjoy both when you agree and disagree with my own preferences...keep having fun, fellas!

Yay!!! Been watching your TNG reactions on YT! But I just subbed for DS9. While TNG has some specific episodes I enjoy over anything in DS9; DS9 as a whole is my favorite trek series 🤩 can’t wait!!!
I feel the same way. TNG has the best individual episodes...but DS9 as a complete series is top shelf.
"brief" means "lots of words", right?
They want a full briefing!
My favourite Trek pilot, my favourite Berman era series. Enjoy the ride.
This stands as the last Startrek show I watched to completion with my mother. She made me a Trekkie. She's still around I just don't live with her. I grew up in a Startrek house but left for college the same year the show ended. So DS9 is special for that
You’re going to be so shocked at how right you were about some things and how wrong you were at some things.
Just take episode 1 and 2 as a feature length episode and you'll have a good time. I have no idea why they decided to split Emissary into two parts during reruns. Runtime, I guess?
We watched it as a 90minute episode how it was on the DVD
I just want to say good luck, we're all counting on you.
And don’t call me shirley
So since Chain of Command is being released as one reaction...we can expect DS9 on Sunday right? 😏
I know they said the 24th but I'm still holding out hope here
"Be brief." HOW?!?!
It's happening.
We have arrived...
Whooo hooooo!
Great, when can we expect to watch it on patreon?
24th
From the opening title to the final shot of the series, it will always be my favourite Star Trek series. I look forward to this journey.
Probably my least favorite classic series but preach
YES!!
I’m excited. Like all treks of that era it has some misses, especially early on, but I think you will see why it’s divisive, but I hope you will love it. Nothing beats TOS for me, but I love DS9. Get ready for different
What is...time?
If you could see my face right now, you would have no idea I'm about to burst with joy. As you were. Hehe
Hype
It’s gonna take a little to get into but it’s worth it once you do.

You're in for a wild ride, and that's why we're here with you!
It's time... it's time... it's DS9 time!!!
YESSSSSSSSS
Brief? Oh no, I don't think so, Josh... XD
I'm very curious to see what your reactions will be to the DS9 pilot. Looking forward to 'watching it with you'.
Vader time?
