YOUTUBE - The Homecoming | Star Trek Fans First Time Watching DS9

Low A. Makes the cut thanks to the daring choice to open up the season with a cliffhanger.

I don't think it's a spoiler to say that ROM and nog have a much larger role as the series continues

There's a cinematic saying, "when the legend becomes the fact, print the legend." This is the first inkling that we aren't watching a planet of the week series.

Frank Langella was my favorite Zorro. Ricardo "Khan" Montalbon was the villain. Free on YouTube!

Cute you guys are cheering for Nog so much this early on. This feels more like that I remember. So much more going on, not just the A and B plots, continuing Odo and Quark's standoff, giving Rom a character moment before the sudden attack, Jake having his first relationship drama whilst Sisko deals with yet another brewing drama.

One thing about the Federation that is different than the Cardassians is that the Emmisarry is a Federation officer

Don’t confuse Cardassia and Feraginar

Kira is the second most badass officer on the station

Part 1 of three

Keep asking for Nog…. Be patient

Better episodes are here but even better are coming

I assume that you've been avoiding spoilers to the extent that you don't know the reputation and influence of the show. That would at least have offered you encouragement when you found S1 a slog.

What a happy face!
