Reply to comment by hooch in TV shows with similar premises where one show is much better than the other by mranimal2

I powered through a whole season of Babylon 5 before I had to accept that I just hate it. Hate it so much. Everyone is so gross and mean and it all looks so crummy. There’s an episode with a Soul Stealer and everyone on board acts genuinely concerned that there’s a Soul Stealer on board and that almost ended it for me, but I kept going. Only to learn that the reason the bone crown people were so obsessed with humans is because the bone crown people discovered bone crown souls were being reincarnated into human bodies and holy shit that’s actually the resolution to the season long mystery they'd been teasing, reincarnated souls!

No, that wasn't the real reason. But that happens when you stop watching when it gets interesting.

I have seen both DS9 and Babylon 5. B5 is better.

Gotta disagree. I enjoyed B5, but DS9 had better overall quality for longer, and a stronger finish.

We will have to disagree there. Untill the Dominion and later Worfs arrival it was pretty forgettable. It's hard to beat Babylon 5 build up and conclusion. I am not a fan of the final season but the reason were out of JMS control.

But it simply comes down to the fact that I never warmed up to DS9.
