100% my favorite is DS9. (At least so far.) I know there are a lot of people who view it as their least favorite. Maybe because it was 'darker' in tone. Or maybe because the fact it was set in the same space consistently. Or even the fact that it approached various forms of spirituality and religion to a series that otherwise kept its religious biases low-key. Maybe they just weren't a fan. All fair enough feelings to have. But I think the aspect of a darker sense of things really brought a sense of realism to everything. I think the spirituality and religion reminded people that nothing is really a monolith. And keeping a lot of it set on a space station made it so they had to try different things to keep it as engaging. And they succeeded all the way. Not to mention that despite the dark tones, it still gave a sense of hope. The chemistry of the characters and their relationships with each other, and their various character arcs was amazing. The people were so dynamic. (And what can I say? Avery Brooks as Captain Sisko rocked! He is arguably the most dynamic character in the Star Trek canon!)
TOS, or DS9. I'm back and forth on that. It doesn't particularly matter. It's been a while, and now I'm here to quietly say a semi-formal goodbye. Today I was thinking about which things made the biggest difference during my hardest times. Until now, I'd put 118 out of my mind. Too much going on in my life. But it wasn't enough to forget that this place made me feel welcome and loved during a time when I was really struggling, and even part of 2020 when everyone was struggling. It meant the world to me. If you remember me and see this, or when you do, know that I'm safe and doing the best I can in life. I have a ways to go, but I'm getting there. More importantly, know there aren't enough words in any language to express how thankful I am for the people I had the chance to talk to.


But I am also deeply fond of the TOS crew as well. I can't deny that sometimes I just like to watch TOS because the campy-ness and the relationships of the characters just make me smile even if it's silly sometimes. I do of course also like Enterprise, TNG, and any of the other Star Treks I've seen so far. I think all of them have something special about them that bring me joy to watch. I mean who doesn't rewatch Measure Of A Man just to feel something now and then? (Though, I still have to watch Voyager, and then Discovery and Picard to be fully caught up but I'm getting closer.) But DS9 for what it brought, and TOS for the fact it never fails to bring a smile to my face despite any flaws it may have are my current favorites..
As it stands, I don't think I can really be back here. I don't have the time, nor do I have the same level of interest in it even with the fondness. If I do come back, it won't be for a long time. This is me getting a little closure where I can. Thank you for the friendship, and the fun while I was here.

TOS, or DS9. I'm back and forth on that. It doesn't particularly matter. It's been a while, and now I'm here to quietly say a semi-formal goodbye. Today I was thinking about which things made the biggest difference during my hardest times. Until now, I'd put 118 out of my mind. Too much going on in my life. But it wasn't enough to forget that this place made me feel welcome and loved during a time when I was really struggling, and even part of 2020 when everyone was struggling. It meant the world to me. If you remember me and see this, or when you do, know that I'm safe and doing the best I can in life. I have a ways to go, but I'm getting there. More importantly, know there aren't enough words in any language to express how thankful I am for the people I had the chance to talk to.

As it stands, I don't think I can really be back here. I don't have the time, nor do I have the same level of interest in it even with the fondness. If I do come back, it won't be for a long time. This is me getting a little closure where I can. Thank you for the friendship, and the fun while I was here.

With all of the love in my heart, Live long, and prosper.
