I really wish that they would take the star trek series and make many many complex story arcs. The 40 minute story does not cut it any more. They are rather boring. Now if a story streched for 5 years ( and all the sub plots ) Look at soaps THey have stories that go on for 20 years. Why does the sci-fi fan have to suffer. Were geeks , nerds, and intelligent. Why not a series that reflects the audience who watches these shows.

Not only do you see it from the federation point of view but from the other empires point of view. ANd the story evolves

Sure it would be complex sure you would have to watch every show. But it would be enjoyable. It is what star trek lacks.

I beg to differ. Sure the 40 minute show may not cut it anymore but that's just due to bad writing. I do not want to see a show that that is in essence a 20 part mini-series. Miss one or 2 and you don't know what's going on. This would be even more confused by the fact that almost all the shows I've seen recently go with 3 or 4 new episodes then 2 or 3 repeats for the whole season. I want a start and and end in 1 hour.

As far as T'Pol as a sex object that someone else mentioned. Hey some of us like that. If you want a deep meaningfull story turn off the TV and get a book.

B5 actually works quite well when viewing semi-random episodes. Pick them from the same half of a season, and avoid the occasional "major turning point" episodes.
Still best to see all in a row of course.
All you need is to have two days a week, where you re-show Last week's episode for those who missed it.
