I'm kind of a part-time fan. IOW, I watched the whole TNG, DS9, then Enterprise when it was on air, and Voyager but not whole. TOS I tried to watch a few times and didn't like it. DS9 is the only one I'd watch again, even though I can't quite remember which episodes would I like to skip, but there surely were some. Though, I'd probably keep my mouse on the skip slider. Voyager, perhaps some of the episodes may be worth the while, maybe a total of about 20. And this time I'd just stop the player and make notes*.

Babylon 5, OTOH, I promised myself to watch every five years.

* of the TV trope kind. Today I tried to watch some cockamamie attempt to make a hi tech sf movie... happening somewhere in deep space where a penal colony station is possessed by a rogue AI and inmate hackers are brought to deal with it. The thing that threw me off is that it's shaped roughly as a stack of tiles, slanted to a side, i.e. not the usual carousel, so no fake gravity, ergo they must have artificial one. And then their handler says "no elevators, we're low on energy, take the stairs". Huh? You got the power for gravity, but not for elevators? Well, Star Trek has invented half of these tropes...
