For those who watched DS9 during its first airings, did it seem odd to you that Vic Fontaine/James Darren sang entire songs in the later seasons of DS9?

I only finished watching DS9 recently and just found it really odd. It seems out of place in the regular TNG/DS9 format, didn’t drove the plotline forward, and sometimes felt just like a filler.

(I don’t mean to be disrespectful, I like the character and the actor can sing well, I am just curious why the producers made that decision).

      I just started SNW (like I said, release order ish, I was trying to save best for last). It’s such a breath of fresh air! It’s quite funny that they kept the “previously on” narration, but at least so far, it’s mainly just doing character intros and not explaining the entirety of the season leading up to that point 😂

      Fully agreed on Lower Decks!
