Don’t feel bad. You can just do what the rest of us do and watch it over and over again for the rest of your life. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched DS9, TNG, VOY, and TOS. Even ENT and TAS. dozens and dozens. I even put on episodes when I go to sleep as background noise.

For ever and ever…

Well, there is a crowdfunded documentary (which I even funded years ago) whose name is based on the last episode of the show "What we left behind" and where you can see interviews with the cast and the original writers imagine what an eight season might have looked like.

It's nice and they remastered several scenes of the show in high definition, so it's worth a watch.

Then you can rewatch it over and over again. I'm doing my third rewatch right now. I have only rewatched TNG once and no other series is as amazing as DS9 to me (though I have rewatched several individual episodes across all series)

I know Andrew Robinson has written a novel about Garak, A stitch in time, which I understand is well regarded and Garak is such an interesting character that sooner or later I'll check it out.

We feel your loss, but you should celebrate because it was so well put together and it had a charm no other series really had.

If you're looking for a great book about DS9 I cannot recommend A Different Trek by David K. Seitz highly enough.

never get anything like it again

That isn't quite true until you've finished these four episodes of the pseudo-canon radioplay Alone Together where Garak and Bashir Quarantine from Space Covid.

Now watch what it was based on!

(Babylon5)

Not ST, but this is how I felt with The Expanse. I haven't watched DS9 yet, but now may be a good time.

There is a series of DS9 books from one of the shows writers but it isn't canon and is contradicted by more recent content.

Nothing a good rewatch can't fix

There’s a quite long series of novels that follows on from DS9, starting with Avatar books one and two.

Later they intertwine with Next Gen, Voyager, and (briefly) Enterprise continuation novels too.

But that series was wrapped up a couple of years ago after Picard started, because the TV series contradicted the novels, and the publishers wanted to get back into sync.

I really enjoyed following along with the continued adventures of the ds9 crew.

cool pic OP but why tf was Ezri included over Jadzia??

For me it takes about 7 years and I can hardly remember anything and can watch it again.

where's og dax

I just finished it last week! I've been struggling through all the other shows and can't get into it like I did ds9.. so I started rewatching it last night and let me tell you... it's better the second time around!!

Give it some years and there will be an endless stream of generated content.

Also, reality is starting to imitate fantasy. Current conflicts promise to become as entertaining, albeit with less compassion and hope. But that could be cause to help reality become like it (again).

It's my favorite series. Gun to my head, I'll take it over TNG, but barely. Diverse cast of characters, great stories. Even when the dominion war came along we still got plenty of monster of the week episodes. And of course, DS9 had something no others series can come close to: Garak.
