gridloreI have no problem stating that Deep Space 9 is my favorite of the Star Trek series. The situation was grittier, the people more real, and the overwhelming moralistic tone in ST:TNG was gone. (It's easy to be a preachy bastard when you have total matter conversion technology and run the biggest empire in known space.. try doing that when you've just thrown off alien occupation.
I even enjoyed the exploration of religion (and was amused by the fact the Prophets were real) as explored in the series. Plus we got a lot of Klingons and Cardassians, and I was in Trek heaven.
It did turn into a bit of a soap opera near the end, but I can deal with that.
However... after the death of Dax, Sisko takes a leave of absence. Excuse me, Captain Benjamin Sisko, of Star Fleet, perhaps the Federation's greatest expert on the Dominion, takes an open-ended leave of absence in the middle of a freaking hot war!!!
