The Bajoran Resistance hits different (en.wikipedia.org)

Rewatching DS9, Major Kira and the Bajoran resistance, especially the episodes that deal with unclean hands, like "The Darkness and the Light" really hit different when watching today, vs my innocent childhood.

I don't really have a point, just DS9 has aged like fine wine with new flavors with each season passing.

You mean, like the actual cardassians who go from imperialist rulers to uneasy adversaries to willing subject of an even bigger imperialist, and then finally become the oppressed and exploited on their own world, like the bajorans were?

It was a wild ride, Gul DuKat was selfish almost the entire time

Good point, yeah, the Cardassians go throuhg a similar change. There was a lot of cross-polination of themes in those two series. But I would still say that B5 did it better, since Gul Dukat never stops being an evil bastard (just a more facetted one), while G'Kar turns into probably one of the most heroic and selfless figures in the whole story (as far as I remember).
