>>>Actually, most of that is in Deep Space Nine, which is quite different from the rest. While there are some episodes which can be taken out without disturbing the overall flow, most of it is one long saga, with story progressing, characters changing sides, attitudes, personalities developing, even kids growing. Not the usual total reset at the end of each episode.

Aye, the devlopment of the yarn around the Shadows, and the coming together of the ancient omnes and all that did smack of someone having the overall picture. A bit like how I imagine Heroes is prepared. :-)
