I haven't seen the pilot episode to Deep Space Nine since I was at Caltech. it's a boffo start for the series—in fact...isn't DS9 basically the only Star Trek series that hits the ground running? I'm a little reluctant to cite the original Star Trek because the original pilot with Jeffrey Hunter was quashed and we got a much more humdrum sort of story as the official first episode of "TOS". (anyway rewatching it now) ~Chara
