DS9 is somewhat like Voyager then, most of the episodes tie in with each other. TNG has some cross links but nothing like DS9. I think one of the biggest problems with TOS is the lack of connection between the stories. That really stood out in an episode where they beamed to a planet and were wearing locators so the Enterprise could find them. In the series it was common for at least one person to go missing or be detained or something, but of course after that episode, they went back to having no locators.
