Oh, and IMO, DS9 didn't fuck up Star Trek. If anything, it rectified some of the damage that TNG had done and restored some of the fun to the ST Universe that had been lacking in it since the TOS films had come to an end.

I agree with you 100% on this.  DS9 gave Star Trek it's teeth back.

 Also agreed.  DS9 took a few seasons to find its groove -- if Sisko's not bald, you're probably watching the wrong episode -- but man did it get good.  I especially liked the moral ambiguities of the Federation in this series.  showing that we're not perfect is always important in Trek, even if it's at the cost of some of the Utopian imagery.

Also, seriously.  Jeffrey Combs as Weyoun.  Andrew Robinson as Garak.  PERFECT casting and acting.  In fact, I think the whole cast is strong (but they are the standouts.)  Hell, even Terry Farrell learns to act after a few seasons; a part of me wonders if she really did get attached to Jadzia.

 Yeah not to mention that just watching the characters interact was fun and very interesting.  The episode where Garak tortures Odo is a stand out if you ask me as is any episode with the Maquis,the fact that they were human and the issues were so complex that often Sisko was hunting them but you never really felt they were the bad guys always made those episodes a favorite of mine.

Oh and any scene where Dukat and Weyoun interacted was a ton of fun to watch.

I really like the episode where Dukat and Sisko crash on a planet and Dukat spends the whole episode trying to justify everything he has done and then just completely flips out at the end.
