My husband, who is 1000% more a giant dork than me, who is at base very basic (with an edge, at least I hope so) has recently gotten me to watch some DS9. I was sort of passively interested and tolerating it, though I thought it had some interesting aspects and I appreciated the sort "It's (x) in space!" analogies I could draw. So thank you for writing this, it encourages me to stick with it, both for him and because of what I now hope to see in it, though we are watching S1.

"I have watched some television lately. Maybe so have you."

I regret to inform you that I have not watched a lot of television (except random bits of British MurderTV and Jeopardy!) during the pandemic. I was too crapped out with Long Covid last year to work up the energy, so I read, a lot, too much of it via a monitor. Aside from that I wasn't in New York in a tiny apartment and thus could go outside a lot, which *was* quite a different pandemic experience, I grant you, if you ignore the Long Covid.

"Anyone who doesn’t think that money can buy love, or at least that the lack of it can take love away"

Well, that was certainly a depressing, and sadly, apparently true landmine of a line.

hardly any point to love, is there?
