    I would guess he didn’t like having to go through a bunch of shit Patrick Stewart didn’t have to. Looking at DS9 now, it’s hard to imagine the original context of it airing. Every new Trek gets shit on but people were out of line with DS9 for way too long. That’s a ridiculously huge lift with little support and - who wouldn’t be unhappy with that.

    It’s only in hindsight that people started to appreciate what a great show it was. Which is much like TOS.

      I, uh, enjoyed ds9 from the get go.

      So did my uncle. The only thing I really hated about it was that I had to chose between it and bab5.

        That’s because you’re a discriminating person of refined taste who appreciates great art. The drunken yobs I was hanging out with at the time only tut-tutted about it in passing like.
