IMHO, Season 1 is very strong, but Michael O'Hare's acting can be a bit cringey. I hate to speak ill of him, knowing now a little of what he was going through at the time, but still...
That being said, I've tried to get into DS9, and I find that show's lead surprisingly similar.
Anyway, with Season 2, the cast really came together and the experience felt more smooth. But I still find a lot to love in that first season.
- twoodfin 4y agoAgree. Babylon Squared and Chrysalis are two of my top five favorite episodes overall. It’s hard to put yourself back in an era before pervasive web culture hooking into every fandom. At the time it was very much, “Hey, a darker, grittier Trek on a space station, cool!” And then an episode like B^2 airs: “Holy shit, this show is not what I thought at all.”
- elsonrodriguez 4y agoThe similarities between DS9 and B5 are not accidental. The creator of B5 pitched it to Paramount first as a trek series. They rejected the pitch, but did use some elements for DS9.
