I have finished watching Star Trek Next Generation and Deep Space 9 following a friend's recommendation. I enjoyed both shows and started watching the other one, Star Trek Voyager.

So far, I'm not finding it as enjoyable as the other two. I want to try to see it through the eyes of someone who enjoys the show, maybe it will also help me understand why it feels different somehow.

Part of why DS9 was able to do the wild things that it did was because the writing team had minimal supervision and were allowed to go buckwild

This does explain the high highs and the low lows.

Ironically, my definition of "the high highs" would be the lighter "hang out on the space station" episodes, and the "low lows" would be the grittier "Section 31 has let us bomb the shit out of civillians, go Prophet! Praise the gods! wormhole aliens!" which I assume is the stuff that people praise for "realism and moral choices".
