One week is not enough time.
I'm really having to rush to finish a whole season-long boxed set of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine before it has to go back to the video rental place.
It's worth it, however. Deep Space Nine is awesome and could beat up any other Star Trek and make it cry. Series-long story arcs, consequences for actions, moral quandaries that aren't hand-waved away, more character development for even the minor characters than any other series gave most of their main characters, the best space battles of the entire franchise, and the Defiant is the most badass starship the Federation ever built. Intelligent writing that didn't require the characters to act like idiots to move the plot forward: every time the friend I was watching with would go "Why don't they just do _____?" one of the characters would make the same suggestion.
I'm digging the nostalgia factor, but I'm also finding so much more than I was able to appreciate back when it was first on the air. This is a pre-Farscape scifi series with a lot of continuity and serialization and interpersonal conflict and shifting allegiances. Those are rare.
And the spaceships explode very prettily.
