I was beginning to think I was in an alternate timeline or something.

DS9's ratings did decline year after year--it just didn't hold onto the huge audience that TNG had. And with VOY--or rather, Jeri Ryan--kind of grabbing the spotlight, DS9 was sort of the forgotten middle child of the Trek franchise at that point in time, IMO. |
Wasn't it proven that the addition of Jeri Ryan had no effect on Voyager's ratings? |
The ratings had declined quite a bit prior to her arrival but she did give them a minor boost and the show's ratings were (more or less) stable until the seventh season when they dropped back to pre-Jeri Ryan levels.
"Scorpion, part 2" was the show's second highest-rated episode behind "Caretaker," though.
