Ohhhh man! I can’t wait until I get into DS9.
Question: Should I watch the TNG movies first, or can I jump into DS9 at any time?
I would not only start DS9 before watching all the TNG movies, I'd consider starting it before finishing TNG. After all, they overlap in time period both in-universe and in terms of production. Specifically, season 1 of DS9 happens roughly concurrently with season 6 of TNG.
It's not overly important to watch it that way, but at least it avoids continuity weirdness with O'Brien and Worf.
I'd recommend DS9 Redefined, basically a group ripped DVDs and used AI to make a definitive remaster. They have instructions to download it in their Discord: https://discord.gg/AdMrnJ63
OH snap!!
Hon Hon Hon what is this?
This is their workflow ~~(pdf displayed on Google): https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vSMdt3xYFfIErWOlXzkaRuM45szFgGI52XoWGofEIoL7umv7R_NEJEeXCMwjLMpycGzLMBabmOTn2CP/pub~~

Got a non-Discord link?
Haven't been able to find one, don't think they have one.
Their workflow is available in pdf on their Discord, or on Google Drive: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vSMdt3xYFfIErWOlXzkaRuM45szFgGI52XoWGofEIoL7umv7R_NEJEeXCMwjLMpycGzLMBabmOTn2CP/pub
This isn't necessarily directed at you, but just an expression of frustration with the enshittified web:
I don't know what that link is, but a link to a PDF is one whose url ends in
.pdfand, when clicked, downloads a file that you can then open and display in your PDF rendering software of choice. It does not open a motherfucking HTML file that displays the document along with some other Google Docs UI bullshit that prevents you from downloading the actual PDF file properly!In this instance I don't think that's so much of a bad thing, as pdf's have something of a security risk with them. However mostly it was my wording that was wrong, I didn't mean to imply Google was hosting a pdf, the pdf is on Discord.
There is a url on Discord directly to the pdf, it tried to stop me but I managed to copy it using a mouse gesture extension, and I've trimmed the tracker fluff at the end: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/774119166931894272/1066138917939728494/DS9_-_Final_Workflow.pdf
Awesome, thanks!
...wow, that is a much more manual and complicated workflow than I expected. I thought it was going to be more like a batch-process script or something.
I think you can just jump into DS9 at this point? Its for the most part self contained, with some imported characters from TNG, but nothing that would require knowledge of the movies? Its a great series, with a planned arc ala babylon 5 (some very close similarities with babylon 5... very very close)
Wonderful!
I dont know what you're talking about! There's no similarities between series in Eastasia!
There's a spoiler for Generations in DS9's season 4 premier but you don't have to watch the movie to appreciate the show.
Wait, are there movies?
(\s, of course, but if you need them to understand anything, I wouldn't be able to tell.)
