I actually enjoyed watching DS9 more the second time around than the first, and even moreso the third time with my partner. I was a bit disappointed the first run as I favored TNG and felt DS9 didn't have as strong a lead or "pure" a story. But I gained a better appreciation for the character development on the re-watch and feel its characters have the most depth of all the series - especially its minor ones. Quark in particular is a gem. And Voyager had at least one season there that delivered one great episode after the next. We've been watching all the Star Treks from the beginning of TNG, and even though she's not a SciFi nerd she's picked up little nuanced bits here and there I missed before - a freshly rewarding experience. Now we're watching Lower Decks which is silly but jam-packed with nostalgic references. When we began she'd always complain "why are you making me watch more of this". But the other day she said something technobabble to me about warp fields and I realized she's been converted into a bonafide closet Trekkie ;-).
