Wow. Most Star Trek fans--at least online--regard DS9 as the best of the Trek spinoffs. Never seen it called "weak" or "insipid." It was the only human Star Trek since the original. None of this Roddenberry, liberal, "we're so perfect we don't even argue" crap. The Ferengi were always capitalist whipping boys on the other shows, but DS9 tried to make them a little more than that. And, capitalism got a positive spin on a few episodes of DS9, such as the one where Jake learned about capitalism while trying to get a baseball card for his dad. And, religion--even if it wasn't our own--got the only positive view in the spinoffs on DS9.

I also enjoyed DS9! I watched the original show in reruns as a kid (I'm 26), graduated right to TNG, and finished with DS9. What I really liked about DS9, was not only the resolution of the Borg conflict, but the triumph of humanity over logic and reason within 7 of 9's (Annika?) character.

Voyager I found really lame, and I never got into Andromeda either.
