DS9 was the shit, but even that had the occasional awful episode. Like (shudders) Risa.
Agreed. Or anything to do with the big-eared money-grubbing capitalistic [edit] parodies of a well-known and often put-upon religious denomination. (Ferengi). It is a shame that is what they evolved into, especially considering insiders involved in the show pretty much acknowledged they were mocking said folks.
In small doses they were great foils, entire episodes... eh. Interestingly enough they were intended by the TNG team to be the new "bad guys --" replacing the Romulans and Klingons as Baddie Of The Week. Sure didn't turn out that way.
And another thing DS9 did to death was LETS EXPLORE MORE KLINGON CULTURE WITH ANOTHER EPISODE. Great. One or two is fine... But holy moly we had more than enough chance to flesh out the Romulans... or any number of cultures. Lets have another Klingon Episode! WHEEEE!.
Apparently though my opinion was in the minority as these were the things that drove the all-mighty ratings.
Close to the mark on that comment and unnecessary and unacceptable.
