But I still don't get you. You're saying Voyager was "one room"? That's certainly not accurate: they often went on away missions, had the odd flashback and engaged in space battles. It's not like everyone was on the bridge and that was the show. Anyway, a good series can overcome such limitations. One episode of Babylon 5 featured just two men in an interrogation chamber and was one of the most powerful pieces of drama I've ever seen. The restriction on location should not give it a pass --- they had the whole Delta Quadrant to explore...
No, he's saying DS9 is one room. Which, apart from being BS, is missing the point. That "one room" was a melting pot for all of the known galaxy. I learned more about the Star Trek universe in one season of that show than I probably did watching every other ST show combined.
