How far do you get into it before you get tired of it? I know you mention that quark and odo on the mountain episode and that's at least later on.

Personally I like ds9 because it very much was still star trek but managed to show it in a somewhat darker way that felt a little more "realistic" and less of that feeling that everyone lives in utopia. The dominion war towards the end was also very interesting in that they started doing some serialized story telling, something that didn't really happen in trek or in tv much at all at that point. By today's standards it is certainly a bit dated, but still, an interesting and different take I thought.

I do also happen to like the characters, which I think is essential for any show. So if you never really liked them, then yea I imagine it wouldn't be fun to watch.
