It wasn't as pedantic as STNG and more inteligent than Voy. However it still shared the plot elements trumping logic and the ham handed morality they were clubbing you with. I remember one episode in particular it was the one with the Cardassian who was supposed to have commited a war crime during the occupation. Of course it turned out that he really wasn't that bad a guy, had tried to stop the attrocity and was practically trying to get himself killed to atone for what had happened. So things are more or less resolved and he was going to be heading back Cardasia, when an outraged Bajoran stabed him in the back killing him. I remember sitting there and thinking "Uh, it's just a knife wound, if they'd just bother to rush him to the med lab, we could have saved him with our current level of technology. I mean Bashir was right there and with 300 years worth of technological advancement, he should have just looked down and said "Oh don't worry about it. It's not like he's seriously dead. I'll have him up and around in about half an hour."It's a shame really, the cast in DS9 was really first rate for the most part. Sisko was by far the best of the new trek leaders, but the plots only rose to the level of "not as excruciatingly awful as STNG or Voyager".</blockquote>
