ost_uid0]Well, DS9 was always "The Trek that was just there" for me. It's not that I don't like it, but I could never be bothered to track down episodes I missed. (Whereas I've seen everything from TNG and Voyager - well, except for 11:59 which had gotten such a bad rep before I got my hands on it that I never dared watch it.) It's got scores of good episodes, but it doesn't come together for me...I don't care about the main cast. Yeah, that's it. Man, I love Garak as much as the next guy, and DS9 did some good stuff with Worf and O'Brien, but they were kinda recycled, you know? I grew up with TNG. I *care* about these characters. Picard gets borgified, and I suffer with him. (Besides, Steward is a hell of an actor.) On Voyager, it was the Doctor, but I always liked Tom and Harry, too.
So, I stand here before you and say, "You know, DS9 *was* a 90s sci-fi series." Probably not a very popular opinion, but that's how I feel about that.
(Perplexingly, the only Trek video I own is DS9's Past Tense. Kinda Morissette-ly ironic, hm?)
