I never took to the characters on DS9. I tried and tried, but couldn't like most of them (exceptions were Odo and Quark -- in fact, I think the Ferengi were the best thing about the show, being such a classic Roddenberryish race who's entire point was to point out human foibles).

The soap-operaish plots also didn't work for me (I similarly faded from following Next Gen when they went on a Klingon soap opera binge for most of a season).


For Voyager, I preferred the Starship setting right from the get-go, and took a shine to most of the characters. Most especially Captain Janeway (omg, one of my occassional girl-crushes) and The Doctor. Mostly, though, and some of you will appreciate this -- I found the stories in the first couple of seasons to be very psychedelic-drug influenced.

I'm not sure if the writers were drug afficianados, and I've been wrong about that sort of thing before (turns out Pink Floyd weren't into psychedelics, they were boozers). But I could swear most of the episodes were penned by people who had done a lot of acid or mushrooms or peyote or all three at once.

Hence, loved Voyager.
