Now that Deep Space Nine is available for streaming on NetFlix..
I honestly can't think of more than two or maybe three episodes that I'd bother to watch again.


Anyone else?

1. I only caught two or three episodes when it ran originally.
If I were going to watch it at all on NF, I'd start with episode one and watch each episode in order. That's the beauty of having an entire series at your disposal.

Reason I say this is because when I first encountered B5, it was one odd episode here or there. When ti was finally repeated in full, I think on Sci Fi, I watched it from the beginning and discovered an awesome series. I got into Lost the same way.

fwiw

2. Considering that Deep-Sixed 9 is a complete and utter ripoff of B5,
I'll just watch my set of Babylon 5 again instead :D

5. If I were forced to watch another 30 seconds of Babylon 5 I would disembowel myself
YMMV!

3. I feel the exact opposite - I'm going to watch them all with maybe 2 or 3 that I skip
:shrug:

4. I'd watch the episodes in which Avery Brooks isn't gnawing on the scenery...
if there are any.

11. Maybe the second worst episode of the run
The worst, of course, is Profit and Lace.

However, I note that DS9's many holodeck... excuse me, holosuite... episodes are worse, on average, than most of the 112 holodeck episodes we saw in Voyager.

15. Funny - my criteria is that any episode in which baseball is prominent
is likely to be skippable... :)

9. did you miss the last few years of it?
Edited on Wed Oct-05-11 04:28 AM by eShirl
maybe you should refresh your memory

IMHO the worst Trek series by far was Voyager...
:puke:

10. Saw every episode in first run
Looking back, I can't believe how much of the series was devoted to the Dominion War, and how little I care to sit through it again.

12. I liked DS9.
I like all of the Trek series.

I'm one of "those".

16. Who the heck got a post deleted?
I'm not a DS9 fan either, but at least I keep it forum-friendly!

17. Your loss, then.
It's the best Star Trek series without a doubt.

20. The only series that can even compete in quality is TNG
And TNG wasted too many of its early seasons on ridiculous campy BS, so DS9 comes out on top.

21. Yeah, I don't think that series really did much for me either.
Or the ST franchise for that matter.
