Of all the spinoff TV incarnations of Star Trek, Deep Space Nine had the hardest job persuading an audience to watch. By all accounts, Gene Roddenberry had concerns about the idea before his death in 1991. It took two more years to develop, and when it finally aired in 1993 reasons for that concern were evident right away. The show was dark (literally), characters argued a lot, no one went anywhere, and the neighboring natives were hardly ever friendly. Yet for all that the show went against the grain of the Great Bird's original vision of the future, it undeniably caught the mood of the time, incorporating a complex political backdrop that mirrored our own.
In the casting, there was a clear intent to differentiate the show from its predecessors. Genre stalwarts Tony Todd and James Earl Jones were considered for Commander Sisko before Avery Brooks. The one letdown at the time was that Michelle Forbes did not carry Ensign Ro across from The Next Generation, but when the explosive Nana Visitor defiantly slapped her hand on a console in the pilot episode, viewers knew they were in for a different crew dynamic. In fact, the two-part pilot show ("The Emissary") is largely responsible for DS9's early success. Mysterious, spiritual, claustrophobic, funny, and feisty, it remains the most attention-grabbing series opener (apart from the original series') the franchise has had. The first year may have relied on a few too many familiar faces--like Picard, Q, and Lwaxana Troi--but these were more than outweighed by refreshingly detailed explorations of cultures old and new (Trill, Bajoran, Cardassian, Ferengi). As it turned out, Deep Space Nine was the boldest venture into Roddenberry's galaxy that had been (or ever would be) seen. --Paul Tonks

The product quality itself is very good - complete episodes, extras, cool packaging (although a bit weird). Although the disc holders were very frustrating for a long time, I finally did eventually figure out how the discs are supposed to be removed. (It isn't at all obvious!) Normal removal attempts used to result in lots of bending and stressful efforts. Eventually I found that the secret is: while holding down the center tab, and after prying up one edge of the disc with one hand, with your ... Read More

A lot of people point out that Season One of STAR TREK DEEP SPACE 9 suffered from growing pains and that is certainly true. DS9 was, in my opinion, the best of all the STAR TREK series, and it while the storylines that drove the series and made it such an enormously enjoyable series were not there in the early seasons, it wasn't like the show was mud in the early seasons. In fact, while the show got incredibly good in later seasons, it was still, even in its first couple of seasons, absolutely first ... Read More

As one would expect, season 1 of Deep Space Nine is the weakest of the show's run. Many of the characteristics that would make the show so great - extensive character development, plot arcs, a large set of secondary characters, and rich inter-character relationships - are already here in embryonic forms. That said, it's also pretty clear that the writers haven't figured out what the show is about, aside from "Star Fleet on a Space Station."
That means that we get plenty of 2nd-tier (and ... Read More

I am a deep lover of Star Trek. The first season wasn't bad but the seasons that follow it was better. It started getting interesting when Odo met his first changling and whenever they had the war. However that is not in the first season of which this is. This season is how they all met each other. Basically. And it is whenever they moved to Deep Space Nine. It is basically introducing the characters. There was some really good eposides but I am aware that there are better seasons to Deep Space Nine than ... Read More
