Interestingly, I had a conversation regarding when to actually bother to start watching both shows just last night with a friend. While I honestly like the first two seasons of DS9, it starts to rock right around the beginning of the third season when, you know, the plot actually starts (read: when things start happening with the Dominion) and continues to get better, staying good (at least in my opinion) until the end.
Meanwhile, I never liked Sinclair. I started watching B5 in season two, and even now I can't say I like the first season all that much, though it's interesting to go back and watch when it when you know a bit more about what's going on. The characters are, for the most part, too boring in the first season to really grab interest, though Garibaldi and Ivanova are okay...but they get much better, and Delenn, G'Kar and Londo also start to get really interesting in seasons 2 and 3. And don't watch season 5 - though I've heard others tell me I'm too hard on it - I haven't ever seen the whole thing, and I haven't watched it at all since it was originally airing. :)
Both shows are very near and dear to my heart, though - probably my two favorite TV shows. Hope you enjoy them!!
