I never got the chance to really watch DS9 i remember like 5 episodes I watched these where:
<The one with the gambling aliens who teleport the officers into a game
<The planet of the warriors who fight and never die
<Lots of Ferengi episodes
<The holodeck episode where Sisko as a fictional James Bond like character gambles to prevent his death (the safeties where of) and talked to this James Bond like villain that he is on his sides and preses the button on his dooms day weapon to destroy the (fictional holodect) world. This pauses the villain and the rest of the crew has time to rescue Sisko
<The trip to Risa episode
<Some dominion episodes
So I decided to watch it from start to finish.
I was thinking S1 will be boring like watching paint dry.
There are some crazy episodes in S1 however its a handful of good episodes between mediocre ones.
I'm in S2 and the mix is some hood between loads of pointless and even boring ones.
Why are there so many episodes that are simply boring or uneventful.
02x10 Sanctuary
looks ok and is entertaining to watch however what even was the point of this episode?
Some aliens show up, they can not be understood by the universal translator (this could be a great idea for a episode however the translator translates them on its own = waisted opportunity).
The aliens are different.
These aliens are nasty.
They delude themselves based on some stupid old prophesy that Bajor is their homeland or place to go or something.
They want to go to Bajor.
Bajorans say NO.
one kid steals a shuttle or something for a unknown reason the shuttle has some defects and he explodes himself over Bajor on accidence.
The episode ends.
There are to many inconsequential episodes that are simply boring or even pointless.
And the show lives up to its name of being like watching paint dry.
DS9 lacks any high fiction (time travel, parallel episodes, really strange things) something that was often from the start in other series and something I like to watch even in other shows. Give me more Q, more time travel more holodeck malfunction episodes.
For a show that was supposed to be a long time story driven adventure it seriously lacks the long and story part from S1 and even into S2.
All important story events are about in 4 episodes and the other ones are simply boring.
I will keep this thread updated as I watch DS9.
If someone knows or has a list of what episodes to skip I appreciate it.

Yeah season one is hit or miss. Season two does have a few stinkers. That episode with the weird shedding gypsies isn't the greatest, but it shows, like much of DS9, that some races really are inferior.
>DS9 lacks any high fiction (time travel, parallel episodes, really strange things) something that was often from the start in other series and something I like to watch even in other shows. Give me more Q, more time travel more holodeck malfunction episodes.
Now you're just trolling. Its has all of that.

Lol keep watching, faggot. You'll be thankful for the self contained episodes soon enough.

I was talking about to the point I was watching so basically S2 and until this point there was only 1 Q episode and no time travel.
I know there are time travel episodes later.

I know!
I love the Ferengi episodes.
To this point they are all super good and entertaining.
I was asking about crap like
02x10 Sanctuary (will this ever be important or forgotten forever?)
Or a episode when things get interesting.
To this point all I have are loads of civilization of the episode episodes who have little nuggets of good and important stuff between all the crap.
All I got to this point is 2 Odo origin episodes
The fake one with the key(lies)
The planet after with he gets infected (will this be important ?)
I know he is a shape shifter and about the Dominion so this will not be a shocker to me.
>don't skip
I was intending to watch it from start to finish.
I only want to know when the good stuff starts, will it be when the Dominion shows up? What episode will it be? S3?
DS9 is basically Enterprise levels of writing now, watching paint dry and waiting for the good stuff.

Dominion shows up in the finale of S2, but they're hinted at here and there through S2. Regarding the first two seasons, I'd have to agree with Razor–they are slow, but once you've watched through the series once and know what comes next you learn to appreciate the buildup.

OK. will the good stuff start at this point? Or will there be a big gap and after the showing of the dominion the show will not interact with this concept or threat for a long time?
>and know what comes next you learn to appreciate the buildup.
Funny thing is I have a *loging* (lets call it like this) method where I enter all episodes into *a database* (lets call it like this) and I input all *tags*(lets call it like this) about a episode these tags not only have the episode synopsis and evaluation they also have values next to the *tags* so I *log* every hint at the dominion(among other things).
I also can instantly recall and sort episodes based on these tags.
The only hint episodes I remember about the dominion are some lines from the red faced merchants Quork interacted with (he was supposed to get in contact with the Dominion) and throw away lines form the 02x10 Sanctuary sanctuary where these people are free because someone supposedly named the Dominion wiped some other aliens.
I'm paying attention to see if this will not result in a massive self contradiction.
The solid hating Dominion trading and letting other minor solid civilizations live I see if this will not result in some head scathing. Especially that the Dominion is supposed to be a military super power.
I can look up my *database* however the only hints at the Dominion are these episodes and and these lines feel like injections that are not vital to the episodes.

It's far later than season 2, season 6 is when they really started doing that shit. "Little Green Men" was a S4 episode for instance, and it didn't really do much in the way of "Muh greed, muh soggyknees."

Ehh I was afraid about revealing my power level and was thinking about only saying "I can remember only 2 episodes" however I appreciate if you can name other examples of the Dominion getting mentioned (episode names).
>That's some weapons-grade autism there anon
Actually its a unavoidable conclusion of the human condition and the fact that I chose to experience life *more intensively like every color increased to the maximum*(lets call it like this).
Basically the human memory is flawed you forget things this is why records are invented (pen and paper).
What has happened of all the things you have watched if you can not remember the good episodes or if you want to go back to some episodes?
For a long time I was thinking about a way to keep track of all the episodes, then I came across an idea and used it, it has its limitations however its a extremely powerful tool.
Basically its some JavaScript framework (https://datatables.net/) that I simply copied into 1 HTML file I keep the entirety of DS9 watching in it.
I write a short summery of the episode and give it a rating and give some title card (screenshot form the episode) because the episode code (02x01 etc) is separated from the episode name I can use the narrowing functionality to simply isolate S2 or S2 or whatever and look what episodes where the best rated by my and what where the worst.
This lets me sort and look at everything far better then something that looks basically like paper emulated (Word/TXT file where I write things one after another) the sorting by column is the good part.
The *tags* Are basically columns where I add if a episode features something and I also give it a rating For example Q episodes are tagged with the Q tag and a rating how much prominent this is in the episode.
Same is for Odo where Odo episodes are also tagged etc.
The ZERO rating is reserved for example hints about the Dominion are rated Dominion = 0;
Because I have over 50 *tags* and I anticipated this every *tag* column is simply a mini 32x32 icon and the icon is also repeated in the column of the episode.
I also use the hover over functionality and my *database*(I have no idea how to name this the dictionary definition fits however its not a relational database) so hovering over the tag in 1 episode also will show what relating to this tag is in the episode. I also included minor incidence and tag them like when Quark decides to be generous also these minor incidence have a time code (I basically pause the episode and write down something like [15:08] Quark accuses Rom of shaving Latinum) minor incidence have a rating of 1~2~3 .
I was thinking about a better method of organizing this then my *database* I'm opened to suggestions. Any of you have better ideas and know about Relational Databases?
> be sure to share the fruits of your labor with us once finished.
I like to however because English is not my native language my *database* has everything written in something that is not English. Its also a interactive (see example at https://datatables.net/) table that is fully functional today so I can retrieve stuff from it, that I have already written into it.
Its basically taking notes only on steroids and using all the capabilities of a computer.
I don't know how to share it with you or even if your request is applicable to my scenario.
Tell me how my work can help you and I try to do it.
>That's some weapons-grade autism
Is it really?
Its basically a record with a score and a tag thats on the computer to use all of the computer power for sorting it.
Is writing notes about episodes autistics? How about taking photographs or writing logs or diaries? By this logic everyone is autistic and if you are not autistic you are retarded.
This idea came to me after wanting to rewatch some episodes of stargate and not having any idea what are the good episodes.
If I keep a record like this I can tag the episodes the way I want and and use my personal score or tags to single out episodes.
In other news I decided to use all of this skill and experience with my *database* to use the same scheme to keep track of my personal contacts.
Is no one of you keeping records like this? Do you think people who write down contacts of people they know are autistic? Point me in the right direction if you know of any Relational Database solution and give some good tutorial how to set up everything, I also want my interactivity and graphics from HTML and datatables not some command line dicking around to show the results from a RD in text only.

They were better on TNG. DS9 really fucked up by never showing any TNG-style goblin Ferengi hissing all over the place while squatting like slavs. You could easily have them co-exist with the DS9 space kikes.

They were written to be shortsighted morons on TNG, and because of that it's impossible to take them seriously. They even made fun of this in S7 TNG where they had a Ferengi scientist, and the entire crew laughed at how bizarre the idea of a Ferengi scientist is.

<Rivals
good episode I liked it.
<The Alternate
good episode; Odo episode; Posible Odo or Founders back story.
<Armageddon Game
Mostly meh however it can be, the staying on the planet dragged on for to long.
<Whispers
I liked it and the ending was something I did not suspect.
<Paradise
Very good episode (this is what I like from Treck (episode is anti-primitivism)

Give it time to get going. The first couple seasons are a little weak and you can definitely tell that they had no idea what they were doing with this cast of characters that they slapped together, but by the time the overarching plot kicks in and carries you to the end, you'll feel somewhat attached and invested in them and the shit they get into.

Notice the area the bold centered text and below it there are spoilers by hovering over this area the spoilers will be revealed.
Also hovering over tags shows a short note of what moments involve what the numbers

no joke the dominion is completely unspecified and could be anything from a consortium to some warring empire.
Also its interesting how Garak was shafted he is in the first episodes and then there is a gigantic gap.
I'm in the end of S2 and it got interesting.
The first seasons stink of

By the dictionary definition even a paper notebook is a database if the data is organized.
Its basically 1 HTML file where i write everything in (pictures tags) that uses data-tables a JS framework. Its not different from a word file only it works in every browser and its HTML.
Did not one of you comment on the functionality like hover to reveled spoilers and hover over tag to see why the episode was tagged?
In another question how can you recall all Dax relevant episodes of DS9? For example. All I need to is click on one column.
PS: I'm contractually tinkering with the format and I was thinking on overloading (the word hack would be appropriate the word is overused) the search functionality (datatables has a build in search functionality if you did not know) to basically use it to only show one tag so ican see in what seasons and episodes this tag was most predominant.
To accomplish this i simply add a "special" tag at the end who will contain one field that will hold the names of all tags in a row thereby allowing my to make a search based on this criteria and narrow my database down. Because its a "special" column i will add it at the end and shrink the text down(at best to nothing) as not to expand the length of columns.
What do you think about this?
>your autism is an inspiratio
Did no one want to have such functionality? How do you remember episodes related to ferengi or Dax etc or the dominion?
The process I use is not more complicated then someone writing a post here.

Because I was thinking about recording it in a TXT file etc however then I searched how to get some datatable action so I can sort the best rated episodes of the series or season or to see all Garak episodes or Holodoctor episodes.

OP Here I decided to update everyone
S1 was fun with its silly ideas.
S2 was watching paint dry for the most part
I'm in S3 and things got interesting with the Dominion.
Good episodes overall.
However the writers decided to inject a boring episode named Meridian
Its a 2 stories in 1 episode (I should start tagging this) and perfect for demonstrating my workflow.
Needless to say I feel like a KBG agent tagging things that are in these episodes especially that I decided to tag Odos interest in food and cooking. You really feel like a KGB agent writing things like
>Garak implies that he and Dukat have history also with Dukat's father. is this real or only Cardassian subversive talk?
Complete with time codes!
You also notice that this episode Meridian perfectly demonstrates a couple of things:
1) I often copy past the same report under multiple tags (look at the Economy and Anti-Communism where I simply copy pasted the same observation)
2) There is a category that translate to "Distinguished otherwise" for most episodes its empty however in Meridian it is filled with
>This one episode where Quork tries to holo scan Kira with multiple scams and tricks.
>in this episode we see Quorks head on Kiras body in a implied sexual holo program, this is a trick from Kira to punish Quork.
Complete with time code of the event!
Because how else would you remember
<What is the episode where Quork did have his head on Kiras body?
See the database is extremely useful.
The other thing is that I mark spoilers and I marked with inviability and only if you hover over them you will see the spoiler.
Without further talk here is my entry for "Meridian" translated by google translate.

OP here with another update.
So I'm at "The Die Is Cast" and I have to say DS9 is getting better (S2 did have some real boring episodes while the episodes in S1 where at least silly in their absurdity to watch) the recent episodes did have a good score:
>Improbable Cause
88%
>Through the Looking Glass
90%
I like me some Mirror universe
>Distant Voices
95%
This is why I love Trek the often dream, parallel universe, insanity episodes.
>Visionary
90%
I like these kind of episodes.
>Prophet Motive
96%
Ferengi + my favorite topic = best episode.
>Destiny
82%
However in some DS9 episodes there is a stiffens like there is something needed to get the ball rolling fluidly. To fully explore the topic.
For example one of my favorite Stargate SG1 episodes is "Window of Opportunity" they really explored the implications of a time loop.
Everything in that episode flowed and fas fluid and I'm not even talking about the MEME-tastic moments everyone remembers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMBNJ1A_CjI
However they where good.
Its like DS9 lacs some gees to get the ball rolling.

b6d50a No.25426
OP here I finished "The Die Is Cast"and its a good episode however I think I dump here the biggest problem I have with the crew of DS9.
This episode demonstrates the problem.
I think practically every character in DS9 is like this and Sisko embodies this problem.
What is the best way to explain this Sisko operates near comically on the basis of what is Téa Gardner from Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged http://ygotas.wikia.com/wiki/T%C3%A9a_Gardner reasoning. Or if this is to obscure for you Sisko behaves like he is a my little pony from friendship is magic only 100% logically to its brutal conclusion in a universe that is semi realistic.
Siskos prime function or motto is "Friendship is magic" this is his prime reasoning and basis in everything.
The episode is a great example:
Why is Sisko going ageists 2 direct orders?
>Because he wants to save Odo.
Why is Saving Odo so important?
>Because Odo is Siskos friend (actually Odo is some extremely autistic jackass who harasses Quork on the station that Sisko controls however that constitutes friendship for Sisko).
Why is Sisko willing to risk dragging the federation into the war with the Dominion or a war with Kardasia and the Romulans?
>Because friendship is magic and you do everything to help a friend.
Why is Sisko treating the chain of command, direct orders from superiors (2 times!) and his oath to the federation like its some toilet paper?
>Because friendship is magic and you do everything to help a friend.
You see the problem Mr. Benjamin "friendship is magic" Sisko literally deserts his posts violates orders and will go AWOL to save 1 friend even if this means destroying the federation.
This is literally his rationality that the show unironicaly presents.
After this incident he is not striped of his command by his superior for no reason whatsoever.
This is not even explained this illogical even occurrences and we are informed of it.
Presumably Sisko sang a entire song about the magic of friendship to his superior who was enchanted by the magic of friendship Sisko has in his hart.
Another example of this bad behavior (all violations by Sisko are logged from the start)
What can be thrown under "talking shit" (this never materializes)
<01x08 Dax
Sisko is basically insinuation
>Hey gang lets lie and fabricate evidence or try to fine loop holes because Dax is my friend and we are going to save Dax regardless of what the truth is.
>Because friendship is magic and you do everything to help a friend.
<01x15 Progress
Sisko encourages the faking of reports to hide Kira's disobedience of direct orders.
>Because friendship is magic and you do everything to help a friend.
However "The Die Is Cast" is the prime example of this Sisko literally violates orders and sees no punishment or explanation for his actions, talk about living in a universe with no consequences!
I also noticed that there is a unhealthy obsession with the
>Friendship above everything else
Motive in retrospect.
<Heart of Stone
Can be summarized with
>Fuck romance and love and all this shit friendship is above everything else!
By Odo.
<Invasive Procedures
Basically the same only more extrema
>Fuck you! You are only my life long lover Sisko is my friend!!1111ONEONEONE
From the Trill.
However this can be spin doctored begin a Trill thing or the guy going crazy or overloaded from the procedure.
There are quotes about "valuing our friendship" etc.
It silly if you think about it, the show should be called "The friendship station in space".
I seriously did no expect this craziness from the show.
At least Sisko is self consistent in valuing friendship above everything else, only if he did have a MLP doll in his office and talked about MLP instead of baseball the image would be complete.

They do. I think you just don't notice because Quark and Quork actually do sound extremely similar and English isn't you first language. Quark is an actual English word, quork is not. A quark is a type of elementary particle. It's also a kind of cheese, but it's not very common in the English speaking world. It's more of a European food.

English language is fucked mostly because it's an unholy union of Norman French and Anglo-Saxon German, with the former making up "educated" words and the latter more common, vernacular words. Norman French spelling was already slightly fucked because it used a Latin alphabet for a language that was no longer Latin; The creation of English made this even worse because unlike French, Anglo-Saxon German isn't even slightly related to Latin, so using a Latin alphabet with these Germanic words fucks things even more. Add in the fact that since then, we've pilfered vocabulary from Latin directly (as opposed to indirectly through the Frogs) as well as some Greek here and there, and things have gone from bad to worse. At this point, there's no sense in trying to reform the language–it's far beyond the point of no return, and as a native English speaker I take some perverse enjoyment in watching foreigners try and fail to make sense of our bizarre language, which we have no trouble with because we grew up speaking it.

Yet its true.
I have logged Odos behavior (HAHAHAHA see now I have ammunition for debates like this) Odo has a unhealthy obsession with Quark.
Odos biggest fantasy is to see Quark in jail.
Odo like Sisko did extremely asinine shit in like repaying Quark for Quarks generosity(Quark did give Odo free information before trying to jump the station) with literally gang pressing him into service for help.
So if you help Odo he will fuck you over don't help him and he leaves you alone.
You want this evidence in time code format? Or do you want me to give you WebMs of Odos most asinine/autisticaly-obsessive behaviors?
I logged all of Odos behaviors and until this point (The Die Is Cast) Odo was nothing other then autistic shady and asinine. He literally did not deserve any sympathy or did anything good. His attitude before getting tortured sums him up perfectly.

Makes sense, given he's a Founder. Consider the story of the Vorta - they were a primitive ape/lemur-like species with the barest hint of sentience, one day a group of them helped protect a Founder from a lynching. How does the Founder repay them? Uplifts the entire species into an alpha-slave race brainwashing them into absolute fealty and directly controlling which of them can reproduce and then only through extensive cloning programs.
It's just plain in the Founders' nature to be treacherous bastards.

Not true. They're both Indo-European, and you can tell.
Consider: (languages in order are English, Latin, German, and Sanskrit for good measure)
>father, pater, Vater, pitar
>month, mensis, Monat, masa
>wind, ventus, Wind, vatah
But they are different enough that mashing them together fucks you up.
Then again, it has its advantages. It's thanks to the Germanic-Latinic mishmashery that we dropped grammatical gender, which always seems like more trouble than it's worth to me. When Old English sunne is feminine but Latin sol is masculine, and OE mona is masculine but Latin luna is feminine, it was easier to just do away with it all.

True enough, but they're still quite disparate languages within that Indo-European umbrella, and that's what I was referencing. French, Spanish and Italian are far closer to on another than Latin and Brittonic/Anglo-Saxon German.

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say than modern english in an unholy fusion of different languages from the different ethnic groups that have invaded the island over the years?
Modern english has a LOT of influence from the normans, who spoke french.
Like most European languages, latin or no, it is also heavily influenced from having latin neighbours for around 2000 years and latin having been the language of the church there for large chunk of that time.

Although funnily enough, while Rome and the church did have an effect on Britbong culture, almost none of the Latin in English came directly from the Romans. Barring some additions in modern times, the Latin roots in English came from Norman French.

OP HERE.
So I have a lot of reports to give however first of I need to get some advice form you guys.
You see while creating my project and getting familiar with datatables I learned actual SQL (Real database programing language for real databases).
And I’m itching to get my SQL knowledge used in some project.
I have SQL hunger so to say.
The only problem is that by making my records in SQL I would lose some of the advantages that I have in datatables while gaining other benefits.
For example I would lose the ability to insert images into a table the variant of SQL I’m using is not permitting me to use image in itself.
Another thing I would lose is hover to see text.
So no spoiler text an no yellow note summery.
So I have 3 choices
1) Start using SQL databases
2) Don’t use SQL databases and use datatables
3) Merge together datatables and SQL
You see I have heard of a possibility to use datatables to access a SQL database to display in datatables.
Should I try to use option 3 ?
I can think of a way to simply insert HTML into the fields of a the SQL database and then have datatables use this text in itself thereby gaining the full functionality of datatables and SQL best of both worlds with no downsides.
What do you think guys?
The watching DS9 project was something to test my skills and I will not abandon it.
I wanted to watch DS9 from start to finish and I will finish it.
I don’t think that I will switch to a SQL database the datatable has to much data in it already.
So I will finish the listing(of DS9) with datatables only.
However I’m so hungry to use SQL.
I’m already thinking of ways how to use SQL in my day to day life.
And hobby projects like creating a listing (this is what I’m calling what I’m doing retroactively) for a TV show like DS9 is a great way to test the waters if I fuck up I have a semi functional listing and its OK.
However if I fuck up with creating something serious that I will use for my personal life then I will be angry beyond help for painting myself into a corner.
For example the DS9 project revealed that do to its nature DS9 simply bloats with more and more tags for episodes.
Plot fragments are scattered unlike other trek there is no simple
“Time traverse episode”
“The holodeck is crazy episode”
“Afterlife episode”
This resulted in shit loads of tags even now I fantasize and see how I could have made the whole thing. Separate tables for every tag and joining them together with a episode index table on a primary list table.
This way I can produce table with only the tags I’m currently interested in or change the order of columns to my wish.
I’m simply so excited to try this in SQL.
What do you think guys?

I think you're a special kind of autist and I love you.

>> Separate tables for every tag
What? Wouldn't it be easier to have one "Tags" table with each tag being an entry. With a primary key it would be easy to add them to the episode review.

I suggest you learn about relational databases this book is good, no seriously give it a look(yes even I was skeptical about it "The Manga Guide to Databases").

This process is named database normalization.
>Wouldn't it be easier to
1) This is a hobby project and I'm itching to test out these ideas.
Once more its a semi useful test if I fuck myself over its learning experience and I made something semi usable. This is practice for the real world.
2) I want to experiment with joins and multiple tables and SQL stuff on things that are important and not stupid test examples
3) Ignoring the SQLite (my flavor of SQL that I use) has a HARD limit of Maximum Number Of Columns = 2000.
https://www.sqlite.org/limits.html
>The default setting for SQLITE_MAX_COLUMN is 2000. You can change it at compile time to values as large as 32767. On the other hand, many experienced database designers will argue that a well-normalized database will never need more than 100 columns in a table.
The documentation itself says:
> On the other hand, many experienced database designers will argue that a well-normalized database will never need more than 100 columns in a table.
>well-normalized database will never need more than 100 columns in a table.
>"Tags"
I think I need to clarify this. I have difficulties naming the things(I used to talk about my listing as a database etc) I'm doing the best idea to get a overview is to see

I'm basically having columns and if for example the episode has the holodeck in it or the transporter(accidents etc) there will be a entry in this column.
The problem with this is that I can not filter columns I want or change their order in datatables I can do this in SQL however the experts talk about normalizations so why not normalize my database? Win win.

Thanks.
I think I create a meta thread about myself and how Star Trek influenced my personality and massively contributed to who I am today.

If it wasn't for Rom, I would too.

Rom was tolerable around the middle of the show, when he was the talented but autistic engineer that acted as Quark's hapless accomplice. It was only later that he turned into the writer's mouthpiece for the leftist agenda.

Like the person who created the Linux GUI that looks like TNG computer interface, these are truly great men.

Well how would you fix this? I guess the most ferengi way is that there is always a tension between legal activity and illegal activity. So occassionally you get faggot nagus's and everyone basically goes yeah that's great and nothing changes outside of what's in the capital city until the blackmarkets align behind someone dealing in sizable chunks of money who basically makes them the 'darknegus'. Then things conspire (or maybe the darknegus just buys the position?. I kind of like the idea that yeah occasionally ferenginar goes thru periods of 'otherworld mania' until the greed takes over again.

I wouldn't. They needed Rom to keep Quark as a pure likable character.
