It's shallow, inconsistent, and breaks with Star Trek canon in a hundred different ways.

I agree. Only the old S.T actors save the show...

When DS9 first aired originally, it was a bit different from typical
Star Trek in that it was set on a space station rather than a starship.
I think it also had more political stuff in it than other Star Trek series.

So, is more like Babylon 5 series ?

My wife & I just watched the first episode of it last night, and we enjoyed it too.

The first is not bad but the next episodes are more difficult to watch...

Back in the day I couldn't get into DS9. Just a couple of years ago someone suggested starting with season 3, which we did.
We ended up watching the series all the way through from that point.
Once we got to the end we started back and went through seasons 1-2.

OK. I've the season 6 somewhere in DVD... I don't know if this is best to see at this point. Maybe to see a little if i like or not.

I'm watching the series "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy."
As a Star Trek fan, I find the series awful.
What about you? What's your opinion?

The promotional material I have seen suggests it is a romcom so I entirely skipped it.

I have heard a video of a Mr. Spock doll sitting on a chair got more audience than the first episode of the series, which I find brutal myself.

I've never watched Babylon 5, so I couldn't say.

We've watched a couple more episodes and are still enjoying it. What do you find difficult to watch about it?

I haven't seen the DS9 series yet. Is a good one ?

Watch a few eps and find out for yourself. No one can tell you what's "good", only what /they/ thought was good.

Yes, both take place on a space station (more or less). Both are really great series and worth a watch. DS9 is a bit slow but really picks up the pace in season 2 (or was it 3). B5 is great almost all the way, the last season (5) is not as good as the rest.

Both series are excellent and if I have to pick one I would probably choose B5... I think...

Oh, Don't forget BSG (Battlestar Galactica). What a great series it is (the new series from 2004).

What any of them instead of the Starfleet Academy.

I'm 1.5 episodes in so far. One thing struck me immediately and that's the overuse of cgi. Everything feels very plastic. And some of the characters I don't really care about. More to follow.

Other than that, I'd like to see more Star Trek shows that are set after
TNG, DS9, and Voyager. And I was dubious about anything set 800+ years
in the future,

I haven't seen the DS9 series yet. Is a good one ?

I like it, though if you're used to TOS, TNG, and Voyager, I think DS9 took a bit of time to get used to.

When DS9 first aired originally, it was a bit different from typical Star Trek in that it was set on a space station rather than a starship. I think it also had more political stuff in it than other Star Trek series. At first I didn't like it quite as much as the other Star Trek series and only watched it sporadically, but eventually I watched all of DS9, and I enjoyed it.

My best guess is that the producer (Alex Kurtzman) is trying to appeal to a completely new audience because competing with the best of previous Star Treks is a tall order. It's a way to milk the franchise without contributing anything of merit.

Yes, you are right. I must watch some episodes and judge myself...

I stopped to watch B5 at middle of the season 5. I don't know why.

I have the complete BSG series in blue-ray, i don't know if it is from 2004. Sorry, i don't liked it after watching the 1st episode.

Blu-ray didn't come out until 2006, so it would have been at least then.

If it had Lorne Green, it was the original BG from '78. The better of the two series, IMO.
