Weird, I had the opposite experience. I tried to watch DS9 recently and found it so dumb by about the middle of season four I gave up.

There is a lot of dumb stuff, but also a bit very cool space pew pew, very charismatic actors and occasionally Odo emerging from a wall panel, being one step ahead of everyone.

Also, the versatile actors playing different characters are awesome, if you know about it. Oh and the mirror universe.

Mark Alaimo doesn't get enough credit for being a solid anchor for the series.

Dude has chops.

I love all the day players that are the villain/vicitms of the week. It's kind of hilarious to see the same actors again and again, but also a lot of them were also on Babylon 5.

The characters are mid and despite there being six seasons there are only four episodes:

Odo solves a problem by changing shape
Propaganda for the Bayjor religion
A beloved crossover character saves the day
Something unimaginably horrific happens to the O'Briens

You can simplify every series that way...

Agatha Christie wrote one novel over and over!

Chefs make the same three dishes over and over.

4 chord songs!!!

Life gets really monotonous if you're pessimistic enough.
