Kira was great. She was my first real feminist influence as a young girl. I’d only ever seen your stereotypical female lead being someone’s lover or manic pixie side kick/ love interest. She was just herself and constantly pissed off (usually for valid reasons) but it’s not something you see in female leads, at least not in a substantial way.
Bit of a digression I know, sorry lol This thread just hit my nostalgia bell. I might need to watch DS9 again.
I love this!! haha Palestinian feminist revolutionary perfectly captures everything great about her.
That’s awesome to know I’ll download them tonight.
How is DS9 in general (excluding the occasional obligatory terrible episodes)? I’ve been postponing it because it’s apparently very different to TNG
I’d say it’s the best trek of the Berman era. It has the strongest first season of any trek series.
OK, I’ll have to give it a try at some point. (I’ve only watched TNG, so I would be very surprised if DS9 managed to have a worse first season)
DS9 is the best trek imo, the characters are just as likable, and the plotlines and moral dilemmas are much more complex and satisfying than tng.
Sweet

I love Kira so much too. Always saw her as a feminist palestinian revolutionary. Just saw this one recently:
I’m gonna have to do a rewatch too, especially since some high res upscaled versions of DS9 are on torrents now.
