Tune in to reruns if you want to catch that feeling.Really because the person who made DS9 went against Roddenberry's vision at least some elements and quite a few episodes were devoted to tearing down it's mythology .
A capitalist (quark ) gets a major sympathetic role
A dark character like Garak also gets a sympathetic role
Sisko is the anti Picard
The Federation is depicted as heavy handed and at time hypocritical
It adds the supernatural and religion to a series that was highly secular
And it kind of became pro war as the Federation becomes slowly more militaristic
Just some thoughts
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
