You know what? You convinced me, I'll give it a try.

The first season is pretty bad, but necessary to set up the various arcs.

Season 4 crammed the final two major plot arcs into it because they thought they were getting cancelled. But then they didn’t. Season 5 is almost entirely filler.

In fact, once you finish Season 4, I’d recommend jumping right to the series finale (last episode of S5) and watching that. Then watch Season 5 from the beginning and think of it as a spin-off show that didn’t go anywhere.

This was how I went through my last rewatch of the series a few years ago and it was perfect.

S1 is overall more watchable than I usually give it credit for, but there is some atrocious acting at times. And some of the sets are rough

And maybe just skip the pilot.

You know the episode of DS9 where Sisko and Garrick commit war crimes?

It's like that episode, the show.

Only scifi show I can think of to present peace negotiations with the same degree of dramatic tension as they give to the rest of the war.

It took me a while, so I'll tell you it starts to pick up steam halfway through first season and hooks you before the first season finale.

It is, wholeheartedly, one of my most favorite shows of all time. It's one of the ones that shaped me as a human being.

Just try and give the exiting actors and resulting plot hiccups a little mercy. There was a lot happening in the real world for all of them, and some things are more important than television.

Sinclair > Sheridan

Though I get that the actor had mental health issues and decided he would rather quit entirely than stall production and possibly lead to the show's premature cancellation.
