    Kira was great. She was my first real feminist influence as a young girl. I’d only ever seen your stereotypical female lead being someone’s lover or manic pixie side kick/ love interest. She was just herself and constantly pissed off (usually for valid reasons) but it’s not something you see in female leads, at least not in a substantial way. Bit of a digression I know, sorry lol This thread just hit my nostalgia bell. I might need to watch DS9 again.

      I love Kira so much too. Always saw her as a feminist palestinian revolutionary. Just saw this one recently:

      I’m gonna have to do a rewatch too, especially since some high res upscaled versions of DS9 are on torrents now.
