Eh. There's something satisfying to watching all of Star Trek to me. Call it the natural completionist tendency.

DS9's first seasons were the show not really clear what does and doesn't work. A lot of episodes feel like rehashed TNG episodes BUT IN A SPACE STATION! (this is doubly true of episodes featuriing TNG guest stars, like "Q-Less") and it became clear DS9 was just nowhere near as good as TNG at these kind of…

I think they tended to just refer to him as a Native American. And it took years before the series nailed down even where exactly he's a Native American from (South America, as it turns out.)

I'm not a big fan of the Klingon arc. The Augment arc though… the Augments themselves were dull as dishwater, but it was great fun to see Brent Spiner as a malevolent villain. I really liked those episodes, catching them on TV made me realize that yes, Enterprise did finally get good.

Post away. To Zilino, mind, as I think that'd help.

Equinox would have been too nihilistic a series for Trek. It's about people essentially murdering their way across the universe. Fundamentally the Equinox crew aren't much different from the random Starfleet screw-ups Kirk would run into in outer space, people who had made the wrong choices and profited from them.

Voyager is also the victim of its network. UPN wanted it to be a relentlessly episodic series like TNG to attract the kind of casual viewers which DS9 bled year to year.

Year of Hell is a fantastic two-parter that unfortunately is a two-parter of a show where massive retcons and extremely lack of interest in continuity is commonplace. Basically if Voyager was a show where characters actually remembered where they were last wee most days, it wouldn't be as controversial as it is.

I don't dislike Jadzia. I just like Ezri better. I'll concede Jadzia would be at the bottom of any list I made of DS9 regulars, but that has more to do with how much I love the rest of the cast.

I don't hate the final seasons of BSG, DS9, Lost, Farscape, the Wire or even Fringe*, which in some ways has the riskiest final season of any show mentioned here. Actually I feel BSG's fourth season was probably more consistent than its third and Lost's sixth was about as satisfying a conclusion the show could pull…

I feel like DS9's best episodes is behind it, but that overall season seven is one of the best years of the show and a largely satisfying way for it to bow out. Sure, there are some major misteps (and I'd agree on them) but also some really great moments.

I didn't think I would smile, but then I saw he'd be spending his time with LeVar Burton. Why isn't it called Planet Trek?

Essentially the big argument aout Enterprise's quality is whether season three or season four is the show's best year. I've once heard it said that general Star Trek fans prefer season four, while Enterprise fans prefer season three.

Oh I never said he succeeded in replicating the Odo/Quark dynamic, but that was totally the initial idea with those two characters.

Jean Luc Lemur posted an excellent list once of Voyager episodes you should watch and should skip. Hopefully he'll be along with them at some point.

Sure. One episode by Monday sound good?

Well it was a puppet character created and performed by a black man, so while it was deemed insensitive it's perhaps a little less obvious to those involved it was insensitive in the way that Franklin Bluth is clearly a bad idea the moment he opens his mouth.

That was UPN though. The writers fought to let the Maquis keep their uniforms and lost to the network.

Well if people have stuck with the show until the sixth season, they either get DS9's charms or they don't at this point.

I'd actually just like to see a story about aliens making all kinds of odd connections about human culture like that.
