One of my favorite things about DS9 is how Miles is just a dude. We got 300yo worms and a genetically engineered superhuman and whatever is going on with Sisko and the prophets (which is just the Star Fleet officers not including whole other planets of aliens) but in the middle of it all there is a dude from Dublin who is, in every way, just a dad trying to fix his lawnmower and it’s great.
