I had only seen TNG until two years ago. I knew almost every episode past season 2, and really loved it. Still do. But then I watched Deep Space Nine, and wow.

I had only seen TNG until two years ago. I knew almost every episode past season 2, and really loved it. Still do. But then I watched Deep Space Nine, and wow. I got hooked. I "only" watched about 80 episodes that are the plot arc + a few outstanding solos, but still. The quality of the acting, the more "on the nose" social messaging, the darker side of the Federation, the racial struggles between the crew - if I hear anyone make fun of DS9, I send them on their way (which doesn't happen much like it did in the 00's). I have some friends who liked SG-1 as kids, maybe I should take the time to watch it. But it can't be better than Battlestar Galactica :)
