[QUOTE="Benjamin Olson, post: 8297604, member: 6988941"] I was in the same boat until about 6 weeks ago when I went on a hardcore DS9 binge. It definitely grew on me, and easily holds up the best of the 90s Treks without the help of nostalgia. Like many Trek shows the first season was easily the weakest, with the the writers and producers still struggling to figure out what sort of narratives work with the setting, some of the main characters not really being sufficiently developed yet, and just a general lack of having figured out quite what they wanted to do with the show. Some problems get ironed out by Season 2, some take until season 3, but all that said even the early seasons aren't as rough as TNG of the beardless Riker era. And yes, it is odd to have a show called Star Trek that minimizes travel, but A) they do actually move around for a fair number of episodes, they just don't have as many new planet of the week episodes as prior Treks, and B) it was mostly written by people who had already done a few years working on TNG and used up most of their best ideas for "visit a new planet" and "encounter a new subspace anomaly" plots, so had the show been more mobile it would have just made it more redundant.
