It other news TNG is on right now. I'd love to see updated CGI for the opening. It just looks so dated.
As far as the DS9 ending I see what your gripe is. But it was Berman era Trek after all, and with the bloating of the franchise you couldn't have a different radical ending. I wonder what DS9 would have become or ended if they had ended it on the producers terms ala BSG as opposed to just following TNG and ending after 7 seasons.
