I disagree Unassisted, DS9 tried to do something different, and I think it did it well.
Voyager to me was Gilligan's Island in space, every week "we might get home"
Also, DS9 was never the only series on, it ran with TNG and then VOY, Trek overload and dividing the fan base..Nice work paramount
But a rest is needed, a rest, NEW PEOPLE IN CHARGE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD ahem.
