I can understand all the grief over Voyager, and TNG was definately SF for those who don't like SF, but Star Trek: Deep Space 9 was definately a Good Show, with many Moments of Greatness (but too many Moments of Embarassment, esp. in the first & last seasons). B5 for the Star Trek crowd, if you will -- some of the ideas and approaches that made B5 special, but without the pretentiousness & avoiding running out of ideas for the final season.
Also loved "Now and Again", and miss it much. Not sure if I can watch it again, knowing the terrible cliff hanger it ended on...
