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.

"None of you belonged on Bajor. It wasn't your world. For fifty years you raped our planet, and you killed our people. You lived on our land, and you took the food out of our mouths, and I don't care whether you held a phaser in your hand or you ironed shirts for a living. You were all guilty and you were all legitimate targets!"

"That's what makes you a murderer. Indiscriminate killing… no sense of morality… no thought given to the consequences of your action. That's what makes us different."

"I was a soldier! You're just a bitter old man out for revenge."

"I am bringing the guilty to justice. And unlike you, I take care to protect the innocent."

I disagree that kira was indiscriminate, she wasn't randomly killing any being. "I don't like where you draw your line, so I'm going to accuse you of having no line" is a fallacious argument.

Prin was not a objective observor. If memory serves he was a housekeeper who was disfigured in an attack kira carried out
