watching old TV

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kokubunji, 2022.11.30

I've been watching "Star Trek Deep Space Nine", lately. It's a thirty-year-old show now and I've come to realize that I really never watched most of it the first time around. Primarily, I suspect because I was in university but also because we didn't have a TV. I'm enjoying the hopeful vibe and the relative positivity compared to what passes for Star Trek now. I can only hope that the simple storytelling and consistent characters and lack of sneering self-destructive cynicism can somehow come back.
