Jason Momoa is positive masculinity.

"I promise bro, the show gets REALLY good after the first 122 episodes, just give it some time!"

Just to the end of season 3 when this happens:

The only other time i had such a heart pounding rush seeing a character power up, was as a teen watching Son Goku go Super Saiyan for the first time.

Fucking Hawk was suddenly back. On DS9.

I can't believe they made him "phase in" his signature look. I remember for a bit he had the goatee and the hair.

The first season is good tho!

Haha, I was just poking fun. Season 1 has some real bangers like 'Duet'.

The bald-head goatee is Brooks's signature look, but it had been long associated with his Hawk character from Spenser: For Hire. They just kinda wanted to establish Sisko first and then were perfectly fine with him moving back to his preferred cut.

Oh, gotcha. I had heard that it was because the network executives were worried he would appear too aggressive for a starfleet officer or something like that.

I really didn't like the first few episodes, but DS9 is hands down my fav ST. They really get you invested in the characters. One of the only ST series to make me cry.

"The Visitor" every time.

RIP Tony =(
