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.

Molten hot take, but I never really cared for the Bajorans as a people. As in, I didn’t ever feel very invested in their story. Somehow they felt like the weakest part of DS9, and episodes about Bajoran society and the resistance (aside from Duet, which was quite good) tended to fall flat for me.

I much preferred the similar dynamic concept between the Centuari and the Narn in Babylon 5. For reasons I can’t quite articulate I felt a lot more for the oppression of the Narn.

In B5, we heard about the oppression like the Bajorans. But then we got to see it again, first hand.

Vir: "I'm sorry. I wish there was something that I could do, but... I tried telling them, but they wouldn't listen. They never listen. I'm sorry."

G'kar pulls a knife and slices open his own hand. In time with the blood dripping from his hand, he says-

G'kar: "Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead. How do you apologize to them?"

Vir: "I can't."

G'kar: "Then I cannot forgive."

That scene, and the one in the council chambers with ".... we will teach it to them again." were some of the best moments of a show full of greats.

Here's that scene, just for fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJmuHNDcXLQ
