@DaveMasonDotMe @bflipp I think you both identify the weaknesses of each series respectively. I am a TNG fan and felt let down by both DS9 and Voyager. Neither was awful and both contributed some excellent stories and characters. But each felt lacking in comparison to the rich characters and stories of TNG.

@DaveMasonDotMe @bflipp DS9 was an exercise to expand the franchise universe in a meaningful way. We wanted to know more what the Federation is and what it looked like in practice. That helped build the critiques of the Federation as being unquestionably utopian. All through the space western genre lens (mostly successfully, imho)? Yes please! Strong character archetypes made it more digestible.
