All set to blog, and then Beloved Wife pointed out that we only had 4 episodes of Deep Space 9 left and we were done with season 3.
There went my blogging time.
By the way, we're debating on whether to get season 4, or just give up on the series. It's been really hit or miss with the first 3 seasons. Mostly miss. Any thoughts on seasons 4-7?

Actually, in my opinion, DS9 seasons #4-7 are much better than the first 3...more action, more drama, new characters, new stories...the bulk of #4-7's dedicated to the Dominion War storyline...6-7's the war, 4-5's the build up, starting with "Way of the Warrior" which introduces Worf as a regular cast member on DS9, to "A Call to Arms" at the end of 5 where Sisko and the gang must flee from DS9 as the Dominion invades the Alpha Quadrant...go ahead and get season 4, it's much better than the last 3.

I've got 'em all and I agree Earl, they get better toward the end.

IMO, Babylon 5 was by far the best space-based sciFi show. ever.

I don't think anyone asked about Babylon 5... or did I miss something... besides, you're wrong anyway... Star Trek-TOS and Farscape were the best...

I don't know which season it was in, but one of the best episodTes comes much later in the series. It's "Trials and Tribble-ations." It's a time travel episode to Star Trek TOS "Trouble with Tribbles"
Wonderfully done. And absolutely hilarious. Almost worth the cost of an entire season's DVD in my oppinion.

lol, yeha, GEBIV's right...it's one of the best episodes. Personally, I always loved "In the Pale Moonlight" where Sisko literally sells his soul to the devil in exchange for getting the Romulans into the Dominion War on the Federation's side. He lies, betrays, etc...the end of the episode is powerful, for what Sisko has to say about the whole thing.

You're all assess.
Firefly = best ever.
Babylon 5 = #2
But that's not the point. The point is whether the Mrs. & I drop the dough on the next 4 seasons or quit with what we've had. Sounds like the general feeling is to give Season 4 a shake & call it quits if it sucks.

for me, it's Babylon 5, then DS9...DS9 was good, but nothing can really beat JMS's writing and the grand epic scale of the overall plot on B5...although I do have to check out Firefly.

I think I live under a damn rock. I've never seen any of these... barely heard of them actually.

Bou - Firefly I think I can safely recommend to you as being worth buying the DVD set. If for no other reason than the captain of the ship isn't some touchy-feely dork who consults & dithers & agonizes over his choices. He decides, he executes, and he won't listen to people telling him why his plan won't work. The only feedback he takes is ideas on how to accomplish what he's decided needs to be done. The reward for putting up with his dictatorial captaincy is that his crew receives, in return, an almost obsessive degree of loyalty.
It's a beautiful thing to behold.

I'm with
Earl -- season 4 is when it started getting good. Of course, there was a fair bit of crap mixed in at times, but when it was good, it was
awesome. The DS9 final arc (the last about 8 episodes) are some of the best Trek ever done.

This will contain pollutants including carbon monoxide, dioxins and particles. Burning plastic, rubber or painted materials not only creates an unpleasant smell but also produces a range of poisonous compounds. Your bonfire will also add to the general background level of air pollution.
