Roddenberry and Berman were responsible for the mediocrity of Trek. DS9 escaped that because Berman was too busy making Voyager a POS so Ira Steven Behr had the freedom to make DS9 a darker, serial story show.
Berman was the guy who fired the music composer of TNG after "Best of Both Worlds" because his music (and the music of the other composers in the first 3 seasons) was "too exciting" for Star Trek. He's the reason all the series afterwards only had elevator orchestra music.
Berman also ordered all the cast on Voyager who played human characters to "underact" because he believed that was the only way to make the aliens seem real (whom he ordered to overact). That's why many Voyager characters are wooden and Neelix was as annoying as Jar Jar. That's what the actor who played Harry Kim claims.
