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?
When Benjamin gets his Hawk look back the things get rolling. But there are a few episodes where he goes Total Hawk and it gets a bit cringe. But that isn't often.
Which eps were Total Hawk?
I know some people don't like In the Pale Moonlight because he goes too far for their plebian tastes...
Nah it's mainly Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang where he has a hang up over the nightclub everyone else enjoys
