I finally finished my epic rewatching of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. It did so many things so well, once it hit its stride, but the thing I loved most was how willing it was to compromise its characters. To render them entirely in shades of gray so that even they couldn’t recognize the person in the mirror.
It was the Star Trek Gene Roddenberry never would’ve given you. It was the Star Trek that put away childish things.

“Because I can live with it.” - One shouldn’t make a gif set of this scene and leave out the most powerful, insightful...
“In the Pale Moon Light” is one of my favorite episodes for Sisko as well the Star Trek franchise.
I think he should have worn his uniform like this all the time.
Emphatically NOT a Trekkie but DS9 is the best.
