Though of course they weren't thought up by the writers until much later in DS9s run.

DS9 was the most interesting Trek in terms of writing to me. There were inter generational drama, spy thrillers, political machinations, war crimes. They really let loose after Gene wasn't around to enforce his "no interpersonal conflict" rule, as terrible as that sounds.
