[QUOTE]Originally posted by Obi Juan: [QB] [QUOTE]Anyway, I think that part of the reason for not doing larger episode arcs in Deep Space Nine and Voyager was that the idea to do them was made after the series had already established themselves. Here, they can start from the very beginning.[/QUOTE] I think it has something more to do with the fact that these shows make a lot more money in syndication than they do during their first run. The fact is that stations like to air syndicated shows that they can air in whichever order they please. There is also the matter that arcs tend to discourage new viewers. Don't get me wrong, I hate TV shows that seem to be a string together of totally unrelated 1/2 hour (or hour) segments that just happen to have the same characters in them (no character or plot development, and only the actors gray hairs to tell you that one episode happened after another). However, it is very difficult to get into a series once it is deep into a storyline. Most of the people who really love Babylon 5 at this forum claim that one of its greatest strengths was a richly detailed story arc. I saw a few of the later episodes and was very intrigued, but I could never get into the show because I didn't want to invest the time to figure our what the hell was going on. [/QB][/QUOTE]
