This is the kind of wholesome informative content I come to Lemmy for. Thank you for your service, sir!
Actually, wait, I have a question. How did your ball-hair feel aftwards? Did it help with testicular split ends?

Betelgeuse. Betelgeuse. Betelgeuse!
That makes it reappear, right?
And did she give you permission to post this here?
This is from Insurrection, right?
I'm in awe of how confident you are.
Is anybody aside from Apple die-hards actually excited about this? The whole thing seems like a solution desperately searching for a problem. Expensive, you have to make an Apple store appointment to get one, will be perpetually low stock, only a few apps will be available for it, and will any games be available for it? I'm sure some die-hards will make an effort to use it constantly and be very vocal about how revolutionary it is for a couple months, but after that?
Yeah a lot of stuff in Deep Space 9 is setup throughout The Next Generation, in a way it's a spin-off of TNG. Lwaxana Troi is the mother of one of the main characters on TNG, for example. (random fact: the actor is also the widow of the creator of Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry). She also acted on the original series, but played a different character.
There is definitely a religious slant throughout the show, especially when it comes to the Bajorans or Sisko, but generally doesn't act as a deus ex machina plot device. Okay I can think of one plot point of the top of my head where it's a bit deus ex machina, but it's still very enjoyable and arguably makes sense within the context of the entirety of the show. Overall I'd say the Bajoran / wormhole alien religion plays an important part in the show, but more for setting / theme and less for major plot points, and in episodes where it is a plot construct it is well done and makes sense in-universe, unlike some other shows I can think of (like Battlestar Galactica).
Have you been introduced to the Cardassian named Garak yet? In my humble opinion Garak (and Gul Dukat, whom you've already met) are some of the best characters ever written for TV. The character development over the seasons is organically great, for most of the characters, really.
There is an overall main story spread out throughout the show, which I think doesn't really kick into full gear until season 4 I think? Deep Space 9 is different from the other Star Trek shows in that the other shows generally don't have an overarching story, each episode is more or less self-contained, which made DS9 quite the radical contrast at the time it was released.
How far into Deep Space 9 are you? If you find it interesting now you'll probably thoroughly enjoy seasons 5-7.
If you want to try watching the Patrick Stewart one (The Next Generation) I suggest starting with the pilot / first episode, then the season 2 episode "Measure of a Man" and then watch all episodes starting with season 3 onward. Keep in mind The Next Generation chronologically comes before Deep Space 9.
Someone is working on a remaster? 😮 What's it called / any hints on where to find it?
I'm still on IRC! There's a raw simplicity to it that I appreciate. You don't have to use a bloated Electron app to connect to a proprietary service, you can just go straight text on the protocol-level in terminal (if you're nuts), and the protocol is open and simple enough to understand that you can easily make your own client even if you're a lazy or mediocre dev.
So IRC, Lemmy, and I guess Instagram (if that counts)
He'd end up disappointed that her pussy doesn't bubble during sex, anyway.
