Oh, watch lotta shit.
Two overall fav shows of all time are DS9 and DBZ.
People tend to point to the Super Saiyan type stuff in DBZ as their moment, and it's a pop culture thing done to death, but these are my fav moments. And specifically the English dub.
This was pre-binge days so you basically watched a blow up in 5 minute (2 hours 40 min+) fight where a demigod who is playing with food eventually gets whittled down to him walking away and leaving Freeza with PTSD. And it's completely in line with the character. Freiza inadvertently creates the SS and with every-bred crum given cannot get over himself.
If kid as well hadn't really watched anything like this before. Everything else was comedy shows. And when got action shows it was typical sell-toys nonsense.
In my brain that's kinda where the show finished before the kabillion rainbowcolored, god ki bla bla bla stuff we are in now.
DS9 strength the others shows lacked with the ability to make any character, no matter how minor interesting and integral.
If this was TNG, it would be the utopian libs looking down on other races, Picard with a big wrap up speech like he's space Jesus against the more savage less enlightened folk. DS9 tended to make everyone, even the villains have depth and a viewpoint to them.
Both Nog and Damar start off as basically background guest characters. Same with Garak.
Damar himself starts off as a villain with the Cardassians themselves a villain. When get to the tail end of the show, they are in Bajors position.
DS9 ain't perfect or anything, has the odd shit episode, and the JRPG cave fighting ending is meh. But overall, esp when you compare it to the garbage Nutrek stuff designed for mouth dribbles, awesome show.
Other stuff as well like Clone Wars final, but already said that in another similar thread so won't rehash same old same old.
