I don’t know about you, but I cried during some of the songs. DS9 just started feeling like home, like these characters were my genuine friends. I loved just seeing them thrive and immersing myself in this world. For all that matters, I’d watch nine seasons of DS9: Operating Normally if it existed.
It might not have driven some kind of plot, but I am here because this universe is my happy place. I don’t care about some suspenseful plot.
