I don’t agree with you, but have an upvote because some morons are downvoting you not because you are not contributing to an opinion exchange, but just because they think different.
Those downvotes stink of Reddit.
We can be better.
How far do you get into it before you get tired of it? I know you mention that quark and odo on the mountain episode and that’s at least later on.
Personally I like ds9 because it very much was still star trek but managed to show it in a somewhat darker way that felt a little more “realistic” and less of that feeling that everyone lives in utopia. The dominion war towards the end was also very interesting in that they started doing some serialized story telling, something that didn’t really happen in trek or in tv much at all at that point. By today’s standards it is certainly a bit dated, but still, an interesting and different take I thought.
I do also happen to like the characters, which I think is essential for any show. So if you never really liked them, then yea I imagine it wouldn’t be fun to watch.
I enjoy the story arc of DS9, but because is from the time of 25+ episodes a season that there are bound to be a bunch of ones you can skip.
Oh, there are absolutely episodes of DS9 that you can just skip.
They get to the Dominion War and interesting stuff happens, and then they’re like nah, let’s have an episode where nothing in it is of any consequence to the overall plot and essentially contributes nothing. Sure there is a civilisation changing war going on, but let’s have some boring interpersonal story that we will never refer back to in later episodes.

What I liked was that it showed a much more nuanced perspective on terrorism than just about any other show, many years before it was relevant to debunking certain aspects of how the GWOT was being sold. Lots of quite intense “war movie” episodes toward the end.
