Yeah, well... OK, short version: Because everyone was telling me that DS9 was as good (or nearly as good) as Babylon 5, I started to watch from the beginning. Bored 1/2 way through season 1. Asked trekkie friend "when does this get good?" He replied end of season 2. So watched last half of season 2. "So, when does this get good? Half way through season 3. OK. Watched season 3.
1 really good episode (W. Thomas Riker steals the Defiant)
2 good episodes.
Bunch of meh.
3 eps so bad I turned them off when the opening credits began
2 so horrible I'd rather volunteer for experimental bowel surgery than risk watching them again (Quark's klingon marriage, Quark deals with his mother's modern/foreign business practices)
So, when does this show get good?
Oh, season 4.
<Expletive> If it takes more than three years for your show to figure out what it is doing, your show is in serious trouble.
Babylon 5 was amazing from the get go with the pilot episode.
