DS9's seventh season felt to sputter out of control in the middle with many consecutive fluff episodes while they figured out what to do, then felt both rushed and uneven when they finally got back to storyline.
Having to replace Dax for the one season due to the actress gave Ezri too much focus to try to make a character out of her, and what they did to Garak was terrible. He's so meek in 7 compared to the others.
