    I think Babylon 5 does a better job of synthesizing cool spaceships with alien diplomacy even if the first season is terrible

      Okay, the first season is bad. I dropped off during the first season not knowing this. I'll power through. I already know I'll like it, but that season one was a punisher

        There are some plot points that come up later from S1 but if you've seen it before you might want to just find a watch guide or something for the essentials. I don't think it's ever quite as good as DS9, for the record, but I thought it was good.

        So a little more than It's Good - it has Quark-esque sassy aliens with character depth, everyone has their own motives, etc. I will say that the captain is a little blander than Sisko or Picard but he actually fights fascists (with violence) in his own government so there is that. It does definitely have the old Trek vibe.
