Agreed. And Pike, Spock, Uhara, and pretty much everyone on SNW are great characters. But look at every single main and recurring character on DS9. Watch the first episode, and the last. Even Rom is a drastically different person by the end. Quark, Garak, BASHIR. That kind of change just cannot happen with 10 episodes per, especially not with a ~20 person ensemble.
