After Deep Space 9, Star Trek was superseded by Battlestar Galactica
BSG is basura outside of badass Adama.
The asian chick cylon can't act and her mans is a dumb simp.
The metaphysical shit is mind numbingly stupid
The political ham handed takes on morality are comical at best, mother fuckers dead ass have a pro life/pro choice episode, only to then be like nah dawg can't kill the half cylon baby. Yeah fam humanity at its last leg so its okay if we kill Andy, but lets draw the line at killing Wall-E?
Adama's son is a massive waste, they had no idea what direction they wanted to go with that character. All for that dumb ass ending we got.
A few memorable episodes for sure, even Adama's son has Gais's trial, but any over arching plot line on that show was doo-doo butter.
No problem with metaphysical or quasi-religious stuff, it's when it basically becomes "because god" to drive the writing, which it ultimately leads to with Kara miraculously showing up dying for, no real reason and using her keyboard skills at moment-that-needs-it to jump back to earth, among other stuff.
Deep Space 9 also had this, but, unlike Battlestar Galactica they were still effectively aliens and nowhere near as omnipotent as something like Q.
When they do intervene at one of the key plot points in the series, it makes logical sense as the Dominion fleet are inside the worm-hole which for all intents and purposes is them.
The over-arching arc in DS9 is far better, though the JRPG fight in a cave at the end was, not.
BSG develops Kojima syndrome where-by it's own hype went to it's creators heads. DS9 was closer to a bastard step-child that only achieved recognition as years went on and still had to loosely abide to the universe of Star Trek.
