The Bajoran Resistance hits different - eviltoast

Rewatching DS9, Major Kira and the Bajoran resistance, especially the episodes that deal with unclean hands, like “The Darkness and the Light” really hit different when watching today, vs my innocent childhood.

I don’t really have a point, just DS9 has aged like fine wine with new flavors with each season passing.

    I got super invested in emotions of Bajor… mostly the emotion was seething hate of Kai Winn… Space Karen made me feel hate more then I ever felt hate in a TV show.

      Kai Winn is a special piece of fun to watch, but when she’s riling up the Bajorans, I find myself not caring about them as a whole.

        I did care about Kira going from a terrorist to a government security officer and the struggles she had with the different world view approaches.

        it was good writing, I always was sympathetic, but saw the struggle as real
