I liked DS9 more towards the end than the beginning... I loved the Dominion war and all the changing alliances etc... so I could (and did) binge watch those episodes in very few sittings. But basically the more self-contained the episodes, the less I like them... so that's ultimately why I prefer DS9 to TNG or Voyager... because of the ongoing story rather than the individual self-contained adventures of normal Star Trek style.

I liked DS9 all the way through... same with TNG and TOS (although the latter had a mixed bag of a third season). The only show that got really bad was Voyager. The final two seasons (excepting some rare gems) was almost unwatchable. Every other episode was about Seven or EMH. Those were very interesting characters at the outset, but the writers wore them out.

Don't get me wrong, I did like the whole thing, I just preferred the end where I was pretty much on the edge of my seat for episode after episode. Gotta say though, I found the whole Bajoran storyline (and race) very boring so those were the episodes I dreaded the most; bit too 'spiritual' and mundane for my liking...and on similar lines anything when they enacted basically some period drama in the holosuite... ie I want spaceships and stuff in my Star Trek, not historical dramas... so those were the other episodes I dreaded

Anyway I saw TNG a long time ago when I was a teenager, DS9 more recent than that. Probably only seen one or two random episodes of TOS... I dunno, Kirk just gets on my nerves but that's probably more from the image I have of him now than what he was like in TOS... nowadays he just seems sleazy in everything I've seen him in, which granted isn't much. But I did like The Voyage Home film (the one with the whales) so that's basically... apart from a few Tribbles ... my only experience of TOS. Voyager as well, I've only seen a few episodes of, and the one after that, with the guy from Quantum Leap, I haven't seen any of at all... it just looks a bit too modern and un-Star Trek-like for me... iow there's comfort in the corniness
