What I liked about the article was the point that, due to and in spite of the fans the show lasted 28 seasons. The story, whether under the helm of Gene or others, was so widely embraced and nurtured by it's fans.

And of course, as in any addiction, we loved and loved to hate the show.

The comparisons to the original series failings to those criticisms of the following series is well written. I, for example, loved DS9. It's the only series I have or want to have. Don't get me wrong, given a choice of stuff on TV, if I see an old TOS or TNG episode coming up I schedule it in the box. But I'll also get nit-picky about TOS this and TNG that with continuity or story originality. Same with Voyager. But I get out the quantum torpedoes when someone makes a crit on DS9!

I'm sorry to see it go.
