This is just a bad reading of DS9 frankly. It's darker and lacking exploration compared to prior Trek series. But it's not a dark or hopeless show by any means and it absolutely still holds to Star Trek's boundless faith in humanity.

nah. Everybody's depressed on DS9 making me depressed. YMMV

DA. But who on DS9 is depressed? O'Brien and Bashir have a happy-go-lucky buddies dynamic. The only depressed person on the main cast I can think of is Kira and like, fair, she has PTSD. Odo is generally dour but then takes a break from that every so often to indulge in cartoon character antics with Quark. Dax is a party girl who is trolling the rest of the cast. Sisko was depressed in, like, episode 1, but the rest of the series is about him coming out of it and healing and finding his stride and a greater purpose. Jake and Nog are constantly doing Shenanigans. Worf is mainly just his stubborn and socially-awkward self; I wouldn't call him depressed. Garak is deeply depressed but he's not very main and he goes about life with an air of levity anyway.

For starters they're stranded. That is gloomy. The cinematics are gloomy. Sisko is always angry. Many crewmembers are even weirder looking than the Babilon 5 crew. I didn't watch that many episodes so I don't even know many names. Quark, then there's Xilly-something, etc. I don't even remember if it has its own Vulcan. It should have one as a ST. All Politics should end in friendship and understanding of different cultures. The technology should solve everything. Etc, etc.

I mean I'm sure that it's just my impression as someone who watched just a handfull of episodes. I saw the first few and some bashir episodes in the middle. However, as I said, this is the vibe, or the mood that a later Star Trek tv series adopted and made gloomier.

From how you're describing the show and saying "every ST should have its own Vulcan" (lolwat), this is all most definitely your own impression and not how the show truly comes off.

[(Anonymous)]

lolwat you sound pretty stupid.

[(Anonymous)]

let it allllll out anon

But they're not stranded at all. Deep Space 9 is a travel hub, and the cast can and often do leave the space station to go to other places. There are three aliens on the main crew (four if you count Worf from S4 on) and two of them look about as different from humans as Vulcans do - speaking of which, TNG didn't have its own Vulcan either.

The lighting is often darker in DS9, I'll give you that. And the politics aren't as idealistic. That's enough of a reason not to want to watch a TV show, don't get me wrong, but a lot of the things you listed sound like you may have caught some truly unfortunate episodes and/or are partially getting it mixed up with something else in your memory.

You genuinely do not know what you're talking about.

That doesn't mean you'd like DS9 if you watched more of it. You have no obligation to watch DS9. But you probably shouldn't make broad claims about it from a position of demonstrable total ignorance.
