Which episode has the most Jake screentime? That’s the worst one.

Incorrect. The episode with Jake having the most screen time is The Visitor and that episode is a gem.

Since that's a cheat, there's also Progress, where Nog and Jake end up with the self-sealing stem bolts and the yamak sauce. I think it's pretty amusing anyway.

To be fair, there was a LOT of yamok sauce.

That episode was hilarious though.

When I saw the Candyman in the opening I thought it was going a different direction

Wait a minute, that’s not Cirroc Lofton, it’s Tony Todd.

It’s a fake.

Probably an unpopular opinion but I did not like that one. The drama felt super cheap since I knew that Sisko had plot armour and therefore the resolution to the episode would need to be some time travel nonsense where none of it mattered.

The destination is rarely the point of most high-concept sci-fi. Rather, the journey is what is important.

Ugh. It would be a gem to me if it weren't directly after the Klingons and Worf entering the story. It's like a mixtape that starts off with two Metallica songs amd goes straight into Joni Mitchell.

Quite bold of you to slander one of the most critically acclaimed future authors like that.

On the other hand, quite bold of Star Trek to imagine a future where people read things instead of watched cat videos.

I feel like Sisko is a much worse offender tbh. Whoever played Jake just did too good a job of immitating Sisko.

Sure Ben Sisko lied, cheated, bribed men to cover up the crimes of other men. He’s even an accessory to murder. But Jake is so whiny, so I think I can live with it… And if I had to watch Deep Space 9 all over again… I would skip Jake heavy episodes. So I will learn to use the skip button, because I can live with not rewatching every episode.
