Moreover... Deep Space 9? This whole thing about 'Starfleet being a miserable job' is not a Modern Trek invention.
Good thing i didn't say it was then, huh?
I have no idea what you're trying to say then. My point was that you don't really get to claim that the newer shows started drifting from TNGs hopefulness when DS9 had the darkest storylines imaginable with people being cannon fodder during a war.
You do understand that what current Trek shows are sub isn't dependent on what ds9 did, right?
