I liked the design, actually.  I like putting Trek references in places you
wouldn't ordinarily expect, like athletic shirts, etc.

I am a huge giant fanatical Trek fan and DS9 is my favorite of the bunch for
all the reasons you mentioned.  As much as I love Roddenberry's vision of
the future, I think DS9 explored the dark side of it without undermining the
core ideals of Trek.

Second best sci-fi show ever!  I think "Farscape" edges it out, but it was
cut cruelly short so they're VERY close.

But really, well-written, character-driven stories (as opposed to the purely
event-driven stories of most others)?  Compelling interpersonal
relationships that grew over time (as opposed to the Rodenberry-forced
"everybody's happy at the end" storylines of the original)?  A huge cast of
interesting tertiary characters (as opposed to generic cardboard cutouts
that formed the primary cast of most shows)?  Complex, realistic political,
personal, social and economic interactions that evolved over time (as
opposed to the one-off "alien problem" drivers that plague the others)?

DS9 was a watershed show.  It showed a depth that few shows, much less
sci-fi shows ever reach.  The fact that at its height there were upwards of
30 characters that you knew, and knew well, was always impressive as hell to
me.

But, um... what'd you think of the design?  ;^)
