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 respect that people can have different reactions to things but I can’t imagine seeing Louise Fletcher and having anything but both glee and dread for a Kai Winn episode.
But that’s the thing right. We are supposed to care about the Bajorans as a people, but the most memorable leader in their society is completely hatable. She’s fun to watch, but at odds with making me care about the plight of the Bajorans.
