Strange, I thought DS9 did far better than that. DS9 was IMPO possibly the best of the second generation shows, it still compared unfavorably to B5 but so do most SF. I like some consistency, which was severely lacking in TNG. VOY had consistency to burn, it was consistently bad and it was the first ST show that I totaly lost intrest in. ENT was even worse, I thought the initial idea was slightly promising but lost intrest almost immediatly when it became obvious that the writers apparently hadn't noticed that they were writing ENT rather than VOY or TNG.

And DS9 had characters you could like. It didn't have any wanky characters like Captain "invincible" Janeway, or Wesley. Everyone of the characters was limited in some way. Plus, it had continuity, and plenty of eye candy (SFX).

I liked the Bajoran storylines. It was the standalones I disliked.

I couldn't stand anything relating to the Bajorans. Hell, there could have been evidence that the Cardassians were eating them and I wouldn't have cared less.

In my humble opinion, the Bajorans are perhaps the dullest, most uninteresting species I've seen in Star Trek...

I didn't watch DS9 on its original run (in 1995, my favorite show was Power Rangers), but I've seen some episodes in reruns and...bleh. I didn't even realize the Bajorans were aliens until somebody mentioned it here (that nose bit is pretty easy to miss).

Yeah god forbid that a ST series should show that some SF officers possess questionable moral character. And that they acually have an interesting story line.

That's one of the biggest problem with Trek. The dumb ass fan's want Trek in that they want their Enterprise with a tight nit group of officers, exploring space and meeting aliens every week.

Problem being, that is so old and beaten to death, that it is boring.

If you suggest moving in a different direction, but still in the ST universe, they they bitch and moan that it isn't Trek.

There was one two-parter I liked in Voy, the one with the Krenim Timeship and Red from that 70's show. Maybe it was because we got to see Voyager have the shit kicked out of it.


I also find it strange that DS9's ratings went down as they did. It looks like everyone else gave up on it at the same time I did, lol.
