1. When the first episode of Deep Space 9 was televised in 1993, I was there, eager to see what this new Star Trek was all about. After watching just 4 or 5 episodes I decided that I was not interested. The aliens on board were too, well, alien. Also, the introduction of these Prophets inside a wormhole did not interest me at all, not to mention the Dax character who is "honored" to host a 300 year old worm like creature inside of her. I decided to put this show on the back burner, for a long time. 2. About 25 years later I find DS9 available to stream online. I make it through the first 9 episodes before I give up again. Finally in 2018 I break the 9 episode barrier and I keep on going. The stories and the characters have worked their way into my mind and into my heart. Stories of terror and stories of love. The final episode of DS9 was the most emotional and most complete and most satisfying of any Star Trek finale. I was in tears during the last 30 or 40 minutes. 3. I knew that there was a documentary called "What We Left Behind", but I never found it until 2020. I just finished watching it, and I was moved to tears again.
