A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
They definitely dove in hard with arcs on DS9. TNG had recurring themes and characters, but didn't follow many conflicts in similar durations and details as DS9--perhaps the more stationary nature of the
Trek
leant more in that direction?
Also--Sisko is my favourite Captain (I think gets that designation by a hair, for a while), and for all I see image macros extolling Kirk's rough and ready approach to aliens to Picard's cool and calculated strategies, I'm not sure why they're ignoring Benjamin, and his Stardate Hawk was much better once TPTB stopped fighting any perceived and let him lose the hair and gain the gusto.

If that’s your criteria, then Janeway has way more hair than Picard, Sisko or Kirk.
Prioritising quantity over quality? Nay, sir. Not ever.
Love the Sisko, he might be my favorite. It's a tough call.
And I finally had a chance to look at that street art. Very nice!
DS9 has several of my all-time favorite episodes of anything, EVER. "Far Beyond the Stars" was absolutely astonishing.
I think I'll dive into DS9 next.
If I give it a hard think, if I was forced to choose a favorite...which Trek I would want to watch over all the others, DS9 would probably be it.
Somehow, it comes off less 'quaint' than the others. Holds up better over time...and the arcs are more engaging than some of the recurring themes.
I loved Q, but the political intrigue of DS9 is MUCH more interesting to me.
DS9's superior plotting was thwarted by me not much liking the characters except Dax (and Kai Opaka).
I think TOS is still my favorite, in all its cheesy glory.
DS9 has so much going on all the time. The Cardassians, The Bajorans and their belief in Sisko as the Emissary, the Founders and the Jem'hadar, the Klingons, the Maqui, the Ferangis, the Trills... you need a flowchart just to keep up with it all!
Garak alone makes DS9 one of my favorite sci-fi shows (or any really) of all time. And then there's so much else. And despite having huge affection for TOS because I grew up on it in reruns well before TNG started, and loving Patrick Stewart for all his wonderful moments, Sisko is still my favorite.
Also, bonus points for having the child in the setting (Jake) not be a wonder child, though a genius in his own way (at least by way of implication from a couple of episodes).
