I have always liked Star Trek: Deep Space Nine the best of all the treks. I even wrote a blog post as to why. I saw a lot of the episodes in the original run, and certainly tuned in for the final episodes. Still, over the last 3 months, I have been religiously watching the series on Netflix. A few minutes ago I watched the finale. It was sad watching it end 12 years ago, this time it was even more so. It never had the promotion that it should have, never got the respect it deserved. In all seriousness, trek fan or not, you should watch this show. Don't get bogged down b the early episodes when they were still trying to figure it out. Just watch it all the way through, and try to tell me it's not great Sci Fi.
