On your previous comment other than TNG and SOS I have not watched a lot of Star Trek other than the movies since I was a kid. But back then voyager was awesome to me and DS9 sucked George Lucas Balls! There were some good DS9 episodes, but I usually ended up checking out the boring soap opera ones. At the time if you wanted action Voyager was where you went.

I haven't watched The Animated Series. I mean to but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

There's no denying it, DS9 has not only boring episodes, but boring seasons. The early seasons were just mind-numbing.

But once season four get rolling, holy shit. It's the best Trek ever produced up through season six. The Dominion War goes completely epic at points.

I never really thought Deep Space 9 sucked myself, I did like it better than other similar type soap-opera Sci-Fi shows - but it wasn't in a format that interested me:

1. Soap-opera style felt like stretched out episodes
2. Space Station staying mostly in the same place instead of off trekking across the stars, exploring strange new worlds, seeking out new life and civilizations.
3. Too much buried in Star Trek Universe politics and stuff, Next Generation had a good balance of that stuff - enough to be interesting, but not so much that you felt drowned in it.

I can see the appeal of it though, people who are not interested in the adventure aspect, and are more interested in digesting one big long plotline, and seeing the political landscape slowly change in one small region. Rather than exploring many new situations, lifeforms, and civilizations - staying focussed on a small number of these. I think people like this would really love Deep Space 9. I feel that when compared to other similar series, Deep Space 9 demolishes them in terms of the professionalism and execution. It is just not really a series I have been able to get into.
