But those were mostly early seasons so maybe I oughta circle back and give it a shot one of these days.
Do I HAVE to slog through the first four seasons or I can I just pick it up in S4. Because I did like Sisko but most of the time he seemed wasted on a show that was just kinda meandering.

It's the first three seasons that are sort of lame, although overall they're much better than the first two mostly lame seasons of Next Generation. But like NG, there are a few gems in there.
I think a good rule would be to check the IMDb ratings. Any episode with a rating higher than 7.0 is probably worth a look, and anything lower than that probably isn't. Definitely watch anything that talks about the Dominium in the description, since they become the big baddie later on.
Starting with season 4, Worf joins the crew and DS9 starts to focus on the Dominium War, which also includes conflict with the Klingons. Gowron, my personal favorite recurring supporting character, features in a lot of them. This is when it gets really good, and in later seasons, really gets dark, and at times, really, really ****ing dark. Far more so than other Star Trek series. That's when Sisko really starts to shine. I rank him over Kirk for a reason.
