I think it's the high water mark of Trek story telling (though SNW is a close second). I really love how they get to spend time developing storylines and characters (including secondary characters like Garak, Nog, and Rom) and capture an entirely different perspective on Star Trek.My wife was never a big Trek fan, but after getting hooked on SNW, she wanted to watch the older shows. We've been watching them chronologically in-universe (as in starting with Enterprise) and has come to appreciate them all, but she really enjoyed DS9 as well, and wants to rewatch it when we finish (we're in season 5 of Voyager).Someone mentioned that the the DS9 pilot episode holds up better than most, and I have to agree. One of the guys in my gaming group said he and his wife were attempting to do what we are doing, but gave up on Enterprise based on the pilot, could only get through a couple of episodes of Discovery and TOS--I told him, if you are going to give up on Star Trek based on a few episodes, you may as well just stop right now; other than SNW and Lower Decks, they all take at least a season to find their footing. It really highlighted how people's viewing expectations have shifted so wildly since the 90s (to say nothing of the 60s).</blockquote>
