“Once VOYAGER was on the air, Moore says there was a very clear distaste for DS9 among Paramount and Berman. He says the DS9 staff even wanted the show to continue beyond season seven, but the studio was adamant about giving VOYAGER a solo-run for its last two seasons, despite never having given DS9 the same opportunity.
‘I don’t think Paramount ever loved it,’ he says. 'I know Rick didn’t really love it, and it was just the bastard stepchild of the franchise.’
