Good point. You can certainly do that with DS9. Like all the "Treks", it is episodic at times, and it has its share of clunkers, but on the whole it's a very thoughtful, humane, character-driven show. It never got the respect it deserved in its first run. I firmly assert that it's the best of the "Treks", closely followed by the original. Of course, without the original show, there would have been no cartoon, no movies, no Next Generation, no DS9, and none of the shows that came after these!
