DS9 was probably the best written of all Star Treks.  Unfortunately it 
was also the most boring.  A static environment for the most part along

Since DS9 was syndicated it is incorrect to refer to it as a prime-time 
program since stations could show it any time they wished even if prime 
time was when it was broadcast in your area.
