Re: DS9 S1: Emissary

I am a huge TNG fan, saw all of Voyager to say that I had, and don't hate Enterprise as much as I could. When DS9 aired originally, I did not get past the two-part pilot.

I have just re-watched it for the first time, and I have to say: oh, the tedium! The entire, albeit punctuated, sequence with Sisko and the Prophets in the wormhole has driven me mad all over again. The scenes on the station itself, although stilted and prey to some disjointed acting, are much more successful. At this point in the series, the only character I care about (now, as then) is O'Brien, which remains a legacy of his TNG pedigree. However, there are so many positive comments here about how DS9 will develop over its full arc that I'm going to try and stick with it. I hope it will repay the effort.
