You can get by with just watching a few of the movies from the original series cast. If you want to get more back story then watch the show. There are episode lists for the original series that likely make it more digestible, but if you watched ds9, did you try to watch "The trouble with tribbles"? That's the episode the ds9 cast goes to.

I think being a trekkie is not black and white. There are levels of fandom you will likely never reach, which of fine.

Good luck on your journey!
