As a pre-teen in Denmark I had watched a decent amount of TOS and TNG. In the newspsper, on the program overview of channel we didn’t have, it often said “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” and I always wondered and fantasized about what it was.
When I got older and the Internet became more of a thing, I found the theme music and imagery from both DS9 and Voyager and was mesmerized. As a young adult I was often able to watch Voyager when I visited my mom’s and stayed over.
I think I was around 30 before I finally got to see DS9. I didn’t really like Sisko until he got the beard. I liked the show a lot, but I do like TNG the most.
