Re: Deep Space Nine: For the Fans

I was asleep in front of the TV and I woke up to Back to School. I was amazed by how beautiful the girl on the screen was, and she sort of seemed familar. I finally woke up enough to realize it was Terry Farrell. I didn't even know she was acting back then.

Re: Deep Space Nine: For the Fans

Count me as a brand new DS9 fan!



I'm a big fan of TOS and TNG, watched a few early season episodes of VOY, and the first season of ENT, but I've never watched DS9. It came on TV originally when I was transitioning from high school to college and watching a regular show was too difficult. I never watched the reruns because I felt the continuing story arcs wouldn't work well watching random episodes out of order. But I've always read about the high praise of DS9 from fans on the internet and have always meant to get around to watching it properly. My wife and I finished watching TNG on DVD in order in it's entirety and enjoyed it immensely. So we decided to do the same with DS9. We're only 5 episodes into the first season and I feel that already the show is firing on all cylinders! It's funny, I love TNG but felt that it took the show 2 full seasons to really find its pace and hit its stride. With DS9 it took about 2 episodes!

This show is going to be a joy to watch. I wish I had done this sooner. The only downside is knowing that VOY and ENT will never be able to match it!

Nor TNG or TOS.

You're in for an amazing experience. It only gets better from there.

Wait until the show really hits its stride. It was one of the best TV shows on at the time.

Chemist,

That's great that you've discovered DS9. It's a wonderful series, with excellent writing. In my opinion, it's second only to TOS as far as writing is concerned. Enjoy!

Welcome to the club! Personally I thought the first two seasons of DS9 were also patchy, like TNG, and it wasn't till S3 that it really 'hit its stride'. If you think S1 is already really good, then you are in for a real treat when you do reach the later seasons!
