[QUOTE="Harmon, post: 2369514, member: 24357"] DS9 promised to be grittier, meaner and nastier then any other Trek series (least that is how I recall the premise). It failed in that, completely, and utterly. The characters didn’t have a lot of dimension (I had seen them all before). After the second season I bailed on the show, opting for something else (what it was at the time I have no idea). Few years (seasons) later a friend of mine told me it had gotten better, so I tried to watch it on his word alone, but every episode was lacking in what I was looking for in a show like it. It was just to kind, to nice-nice, it was just to picture perfect in the respects of the social comings and goings. So again I bailed. (A few things that bothered me were the amount of hand-to-hand fights that resulted in some mightier then though speech by one of the main characters. You know what- I will pass on the speech, just shoot me with a phaser. :D ) It was suggested that I watch the last season because it was so much better then the others. Because of who it was that made the suggestion I gave the show yet another chance, and found it closing on what it was I was looking for in a show like it. The war was interesting, the characters were thickening out (becoming 3D) and the writing was getting better. All in all it was getting closer to what I had found and what I liked in B5. I have yet to see all of the last season (I missed more then a few episodes when it was on due to what ever reason), but when I see the show is on and I have the time I try to watch it, simply because someone I once trusted and believed in told me it was good.
