Somewhere around 1990 or 1991, I checked in on the series and found that it had improved exponentially, only to be canceled in 1994 to due budget concerns. Seasons 3-7 were pretty freaking awesome and I still enjoy them to this day but I just can't get into Seasons 1 and 2.

3 through 6 were the best. 7 had its moments, but the show was starting to get a bit stale by that point. An eighth season would have probably jumped the shark.
My favorite episode from 7 is probably Pegasus, but holy balls did Picard choose poorly by not keeping that interphasing cloaking device. Sure could have come in handy against the Borg and the Dominion. Sort of like how Picard didn't send Hugh back to the Borg ship with the hidden destructive device. Sure, Hugh lived, but so did the Borg. It can be argued that Picard was personally responsible for every single death/assimilation at the hands of the Borg from that point forward. He probably should have been court-martialed.
Too bad Sisko wasn't captain of the Enterprise. None of that shit would have ever happened.
