14. The one major factor
I liked about DS9 was the characterizations. Next Gen was often more about plot and sub-plot than about the people--I honestly don't think we learned as much about each of the leading characters on NG as we did on DS9, including and especially the characters who "transferred" in from Next Gen, Miles and Keiko O'Brien and Worf, for example. Once they were on DS9, they came to life a lot more, and were far more rounded.

DS9 had so many great characters overall. There was continuity in many of them, backstory and more. My favorites will always be Quark and his brother Rom, and Jake and Rom's son, Nog, and of course Garek, who started out as a minor character and escalated in stature through the series because he was so well played.

The series never avoided humor in the whole time it was on, and of course the Ferengi were the best to have those humorous episodes about.

If I had a choice to sit down and watch any of the ST shows now until they came out my ears, DS9 would definitely be my first choice.
