Well put. I am not the biggest fan, there are quite a few weak episodes and I was cringing a lot at Lando and G'Kar for a long while. I dropped it on my first attempt and only returned to it when I ran out of trek material. I'm now on last few episodes and, yes, it was worth it. The amount of character growth, the crazy long story arcs and the sense of direction is really unique. Or, if it's not, I'd really like to hear about other contenders.
