Anti-Andromeda?

Look at TNG, at first i labelled it the worst incarnation of trek to date, then it got a firmer footing and the show as a whole improved tking it to a higher level yet still leaving it way behind the far superior ds9.
Well, that’s a first, there is a fan in existence that feel’s DS9 was good!!!, it’s almost universally recognised that it was the biggest blight ever on Star Trek’s record and most trek fans choose to forget it.
For me it was too limited and one dimensional, although it did get good towards the end (with the introduction of the Dominion), on the whole it just concentrated too heavily on the plight of the Bajorans and the politics of the situation…which just made the whole thing boring. It seemed like an excuse to cut any expensive eye-candy from Trek and avoid the historic battles like at Wolf 359, it just got bogged down with being stuck in one place, but like I said, they woke up and realised this too late and made the show interesting in the last two seasons, but it certainly does not compare to TNG’s last seasons and even Voyager was slightly more interesting.
Even Rick Berman expressed disappointment that DS9 was not as successful as he had hoped, and ever since then they have tried to give trek a facelift because of the damage inflicted on Trek’s image due to DS9.
