Its probably a common complaint. But I thought Star Trek (the spin offs) were always to light and feel good. The next generation always seemed to have problem that either Wesley or the human spirit could solve. DS9 and Voyageur were boring until they got dark in their later seasons. The Dominion War seasons were very good, but I don't think they ever finished it. Enterprise had some good stories, but always fell back onto happy endings. The 3 part WW2 episode, for example, someone goes back in time and changes history so the German's invade the US. It could have been great, but the ending just worked out so perfectly and easily that it totally turned me off from the series.
Same with the movies. Glorified two hour, after school special type, episodes.
Edit: spelling / grammar
