I watched DS9 when it first came out and I was... underwhelmed.
But then I caught a few episodes in syndication, and it seemed pretty good -- the captain shaved his head; there was this guy (Gul Dukat?) who had really interesting conversations; there seemed to be action everywhere.
Is there a season where I can start without all of the boring stuff?
I’d personally suggest trying it from the beginning again. I enjoyed the first episode with the fifth dimensional beings
I think I'll do that. u-schmendrick_lamar, below, gave a pretty good reason.
