    If we were only 4 episodes into DS9’s original airing, people would be losing their minds complaining about how terrible of a show it is. The first season was terrible.

      Compared to TNG’s first season, it was prestige T. V. (O. K., maybe not that good; but I had no problem watching it without having to try again, later).

      I watched the series premiere back in the day. It was phenomenal. You exist here. It is not linear.

      Duet is still hands down one of the best episodes of tv ever.

      Dramatis Personae made one mistake and that was it was shown too early in the show for the casts amazing performance.

      Dax was a good courthouse show. The Nagus was a good episode. Progress is a slow but good episode dealing with how a former freedom fighter has to learn to compromise.

      I’ll admit season one isn’t as good as what follows but I’m not ready to say it was even close to terrible.

      Now, since we brought up DS9 (ty btw), I’d like to point something out. Tawny Newsome is listed as a producer in the credits for academy, she’s a huge DS9 fan. This last academy ep I had to hear Vance deliver the line “May the Klingon gods help us.” There are times when producers probably should pass notes down, and this was one. The Klingons killed their gods. Tawny, you should have spoke up.
