Inspired by gregorum’s post concerning issues with startrek.website, which is ironic as lemmy.world is a bit glitchy right now and isn’t letting me upload and had to use my alt here.

Trek is gritty as FUCK. TOS was quite gritty with ww3, genetic wars, khan… TNG had roving rape gangs. DS9 had apartheid space nazis. Disco is quite tame compared to the darker tones of DS9 by FAR. I think even behind the comedy, Lower Decks is darker than Disco.
Yeah DS9, specifically the Dominion Wars, is leaps and bounds the darkest Trek. It took the question of “how far must I go before I myself become the monster?” and applied it to a Star Fleet officer. And how far he was willing to go to protect the Federation was truly terrifying.
