Deep Space Nine will probably always be my favourite Startrek show. But I will hesitate to compare it with other shows, even if similar in design (like B5), because Startrek will always have "a special place in my heart". The introduction of the Dominion was interesting, because it was hinted at quite early that they existed (I believe the 1st season already mentions it once), and only later do we begin to understand what it actually is and what they do want. We already knew the Klingons, the Romulans and even the (relatively new) Cardassians to good to pull that off. The interesting bits of the war(s) arc are also the players and their changing roles in it. DS9 had not only character development (Sisko begins as sceptical commander that doesn´t believe in Prophets nor that the job as commander of DS9 is the job he wants, and finally accepts his role as a prophet), but also in the big "organization" development.Tthe Federation slowly shows its darker sides (Section 31, the willingness to go to a war (including launching the first strike) ) and is also proven to have its limits (Unable to hold back the Klingons, struggling to win a war against the Dominion and even unable to protect its most central planets). The Cardassions change from opprossors (Bajor) to victims (Klingon War) to collaborateurs (Alliance with Dominion) to rebels (against the Dominion)...</blockquote>
