Everything is worth precisely as much as a belch, the difference being
that a belch is more satisfying.

I was a B5 fan when DS9 came out. At that time in my life I didn't have time to follow both. So it was B5.
A few years ago I watched DS9 on Netflix. Enjoyed it greatly. For some months now I've been considering watching it again.
I thought they did a few screwups like with the doctor character.
They did have a few very ingenious episodes.
I appreciated that it had a pretty good ending instead of a cliffhanger or just abruptly end.
I find TV hard to watch now. I am mostly interested in a story with an arc. And an actual ending. Basically what I want is a really good book in TV form. I hope new content producers (Netflix, Amazon, HBO, etc) might start doing this. A movie is just a book in very short TV form. Miniseries is better. Multiple seasons is better.
But I don't want to waste my time starting to watch it unless I know or am pretty sure it's going to be worth it.
The lower I set my standards the more accomplishments I have.
