Incredible series, but Paramount is Greedy
I saw this series when it first aired and I have seen it in syndication many times since. I even watch it now on the Spike channel. It is by far one of my favorite Star Trek's or any TV series for that matter. The last few seasons were especially exciting. It is amazing how you watch the characters grow over the years. I can't say enough positive things about this series. Sisko, Nerys, Odo, Jadzia, Worf, Quark, Bashir, and Garak added wonderful characters that really made a difference to me. The guest stars were great too. The directing, cast, stories, sets, music, and the rest the production are first class all the way. If you are a fan of SciFi and not buying a number of other TV series, buy this set.
Now that said, I would like to say Paramount needs to be slapped up side the head for being so greedy, and that is saying it nicely. I can buy a season of ANY other Non-Paramount series for half or less the price. Why are you making us fans of Star Trek suffer? Do you think,...
Hands Down, The Greatest Ever Trek Series
Star Trek Deep Space Nine will always be the cult within the cult.Although not as popular as the other Star Trek spin-offs(even the anemic Voyager who had the benefit of the UPN network behind it),it has the diehard follwing of Trekker Niners who'll easily attest that DS9 was the best Trek show ever.
Unlike the other spin-offs,the show as well as the characters evolved in its seven seasons.Notably The lead character Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks) who started as a brooding arbitrator of a rundown space station.In the later seasons, the character was injected with the same passion that fueled Kirk and Picard,becoming a great Captain as well as accepting his role as the Bajoran's Emissary and in the end,joined the Bajoran prophets.Sisko's crew includes first officer/Bajoran lieson Major Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor),Trill science officer Jadzia Dax (Terry Farrell),Cheif Medical Officer Dr Julian Bashir(Alexander Siddig),Cheif of Operations Miles O'Brien (Colm Meaney) and changeling...
Classic television.
This show has something that TOS, and TNG doesn't. Repercussions. I loved how everything affected everyone on this show. How the actions of those on the Enterprise would rattle those behind the lines at DS9. No more was it prevalent than in the pilot episode, depicting the destruction of the federation fleet at wolf 359. WHere Benjamin Sisko losses his wife, and eventually gets stationed on the run down space station DS9. A stark difference to the trekking enterprise, who is equipped with all the best that Starfleet can provide. You are welcomed to a cast of characters who all have darker sides. Something unheard of in the galant trekking crews of the past who mingle never outside their ranks. In the first few seasons the crew and personel at DS9 are hard to work with. A surroundings of different races from all over the galaxy, Where the federation is a small presence. Not in the safety of federation space, but the war torned boundaries of the bajorans. You see the struggle, and the...
