DS9: I keep wondering why I never found Bajoran politics interesting.
That is in stark contrast to two other shows where a similar kind of politics is riveting: “The Expanse” and “Babylon 5”.
Maybe it’s because I’m not seeing that much on an arc? The series seems to eventually lose interest in Bajor(?) Federation vs. Dominion is different and (therefore?) more interesting.
