Been hearing of bias against DS9 by Trek developers, true?

Star Trek is one of the best series, i dont think so that no other series can beat this series

DS9 had the best Series Finale and THE MOST BORING PREMIER of all TREKS.
Fans love DS9 and trash VOY. But VOY was often 5x smarter than DS9 while DS9 cannot be said to have had one intelligent episode in the series (except perhaps Visionary)
Voyager let it's characters stagnant while DS9 developed them at great risk and success. DS9 was more like TNG in Drama and VOY was more like TNG in exploration mystery and events....

While ENT was just full of extremely bad acting and bad stories from just about everyone while having the best special effects of any trek series.

Actually, I thought "Emissary" was the best premiere episode and "What you Leave Behind" was kind of lame...

Emissary was 2 hour Exposition. There was no suspense and very little action. The intrigue that kept the episode afloat well at a dull hum and I think that's because they didn't develop an adversary for the characters in those two hours.

I thought the finale was a little corny too but lame goes with almost all the series finale's.

DS9 cannot be said to have had one intelligent episode, huh? So if I say that, then I'm doing something that cannot be done? Because I think DS9 has quite a large number of intelligent episodes.

Now, your basic premise about DS9 being more characters and Voyager being more sci-fi is definitely true. The writers have even said that. I think it was Robert Hewitt Wolfe on one of the DVD's who says that they all thought of DS9 as a drama that just happened to be set in space, rather than a sci-fi show. They had their share of anomalies of the week, but much less so than the other shows. But it worked well for DS9 and I think produced some great television.
