I never really got into DS9 when it first aired, so I've decided to watch it. Currently on season 3, and so far my feelings are mixed. The storyline is interesting and the characters are ok (admittedly, I'm having a harder time connecting with them than I did with the TOS and TNG crews), but it's nowhere nearly as gripping and interesting as, say, Babylon 5.

I've heard that the last four seasons are quite a bit better than the first three, so hopefully that's accurate. I wouldn't say it's been bad so far by any means...just not exactly captivating.

I agree with all of this completely. I started watching DS9 a couple of years back, with it being the only Trek series I'd only managed to catch one or two episodes of. I made it about halfway through season 3 over the course of several months back in 2010, and have never managed to come back to it. They are still there waiting for me, and I still intend to watch them sometime, but for over a year now, I just haven't been in the mood for them and have had more interesting thing to watch.

"Not exactly captivating" is a great way to put it.
