All true. Though as a father to young kids, I find that I prefer TNG as a source of moral example. I'll wait until they're at least twelve years old or so before showing them DS9.

That sounds about the right age for DS9 - isn't that about how old Jake Sisko and Nog are at the start?

I'll always have a soft spot for TNG, but you're right -- DS9 has the best character work of any Star Trek, hands down. It really takes things to the next level.

Thanks, Daniel! I too like TNG and realize that DS9 would not have come into being without it. One big thing--we would not have had the new and improved enemies/friends, the Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians, etc.
