I watched the whole series up to the bitter end. It was still Star Trek, but they included some concepts that left a bad taste in my mouth. Religion, being the one.
I do find it annoying that the aliens don’t even grasp what time is, but one of them married a guy for several years and returned to the wormhole, but… yeah…
They tried really hard to sell the ending as something for-religion as opposed to it being about aliens. Maybe just my interpretation but that ruined it for me. I won’t say only DS9 did this because the original show also acknowledged “god” but I attributed that to at least for being in its time. DS9 had no excuse and should not have entertained it.
DS9 sucks IMO
You’re allowed to have incorrect opinions.
lol
Did you watch beyond the first season?
Honestly as far as first seasons in Trek go, DS9 is far from the worst. Duet is still one of my favourite episodes in all of Trek.
I would prefer to watch S1 TNG over DS9 any day.
But DS9 is one of my favourite shows with some very likeable characters

Ah, the Bejorans and their prophets, but that was more just wormhole aliens and not omnipotent gods.

Interesting, I don’t think I ever saw it as anything other than some weird immortal aliens in non corporal form.
