This season was middle of the road for me, probably the weakest of DS9 so far. I gave about half of the episodes a rating between 2.5 and 3.5, with a preponderance of threes. The remainder were evenly dispersed between highlights and lowlights. I feel like we spent most of the season in low gear, waiting for something interesting to happen relating to the Dominion arc, which was a long tease without many payoffs. While there were some good moments, I’m hoping for better in Season Four.

I just checked Season Three against my ratings for DS9 Seasons 1-2, and my average episode ratings for the first three seasons are 3.2, 3.9, and 3.1. This confirms my intuition that DS9 slipped almost a whole rating point from last season, and that Season Three has been the weakest season so far. Voyager’s average rating for Season One was 2.8.

I can’t help it, I love Season 3! That said, I love all DS9. This season didn’t have as many stinkers as earlier (remember that awful one with the life-sized gambling game? So painful!). I am not waiting on the Dominion Arc because I am not as interested in that aspect, so perhaps that’s why I liked it better than you did, Kev.
