I always disliked the Soul Hunters as a concept; unforunately, they decided to base a telemovie around them.  I had the same reaction to the technomages, especially after they made them important for the spinoff and some novels.

Ivanova is great, so strongly emotional.

Yep, tons of kid shows in the 80s.

He's so wooden in the pilot and the first season that I'm surprised the suits didn't force him to be replaced during the retooling period after the pilot.

I enjoyed Garibaldi almost as much as Londo & G'Kar here too.  I loved Doyle's delivery of the line "Old news" when he witnesses the senator badmouthing him.

Those two are the worst of the season, but I would say Infection is worse because it was the least professional looking, because it was the first ep they made after the pilot.  TKO is just a dumb story.

S1, and the Gathering in particular, or really underrated in my opinion.  The Gathering definitely has problems, but it introduced a world and mysteries that intrigued me, and were totally different from the happy-go-lucky land of trek (which I love just as much).

DS9 has always seemed like a poor imitation of B5 to me.

I tried to keep up with the show as long as possible.  I think I watched most of the first season live, then the Chicago affiliate started messing around with the airtimes, so I missed a lot.  I tried watching it when I could, but I was lost because of the arc structure, so I gave up.  When the series was done, TNT…

Agreed, in spite of its regular crapitude, I still enjoy watching it.

Hehe, when I think about how many bad moments there are in S1, "TKO" always springs to mind, floating to the top.  So ridiculous.

Eli, while Jean-Luc's argument is valid, I'm not sure that Spock is a good example here.  In the movies, Spock's arc had him come to terms with his human side, as also demonstrated in his interaction with his younger self in the reboot.  His appearance in Unification is consistent with that.
