Deep Space Nine's sixth season began ambitiously with a six-part story arc devoted to the Dominion War. This was a brave move in many ways, but a sensible one too. Whereas other sci-fi shows wouldn't commit to showing the impact of war (e.g., Babylon 5), here there were numerous visible sacrifices. Characters were frequently kidnapped and held prisoner, allowing screen time for other members of the ever-growing cast (at its peak there were as many as 18 individuals with speaking roles per episode). This year also introduced the idea of Starfleet Intelligence and its sinister Section 31; alliances were built only to crumble almost immediately; Sisko led a suicide mission and at long last his destiny as the Emissary took a serious turn.
Amid all this sturm und drang the writers felt it necessary to inject some levity. In fact, there was so much comedic sidetracking this year it actually seemed as if they were afraid of the series' dark tone. Witness: Quark undergoing a temporary sex change, leading a Magnificent Seven-style band of Ferengi (with a cameo from Iggy Pop), Morn's nonspeaking character being sorely missed, the blend of Troi and Guinan into '60s crooner Vic Fontaine, and, in one fan favorite episode ("Far Beyond the Stars"), Sisko having visions of himself and the crew as 1950s staff writers on pulp magazine Incredible Tales. There were also cute reconciliations among Worf's extended family (leading to Trek's first cast wedding), and even the revelation of Bashir's genetically enhanced origins quickly became a subject for easy jokes.
Any of these events would have been satisfactorily cute if the war had ended and the show had moved on. But it confused the viewer when every so often the battle would be rejoined mid-episode. The clinching proof that no grand design was really at work was in the sudden exit of Dax. Despite all the jarring humor scattered about after the strong opening, the show seemed unable to avoid reverting to shock tactics for its finale. All of which hardly made the promised final year seem a particularly enticing prospect. --Paul Tonks

This season is, in my view, the apex of DS9. This is probably due to the fact that it's the last season with the original cast intact. Dax, a character I've personally loathed, finally wins you over in her final episodes. Terry Farrell really shines in the wedding episode, "You Are Cordially Invited", and shows that her evolution from 'annoyingly-cryptic wise man' to a spunky amazon was a decision which saved her character. No more walking around with her hands behind her back all the time, as if ... Read More

This season began with an exciting deviation from the standard episodic format of Trek shows, and indeed from the accepted style of science fiction/action shows in general. The first half-dozen episodes are a basically continuous little arc which finds the station itself occupied by the Federation's enemies, and the cast split in half -- some of them depart the station to carry on the war with the fascist Dominion, while others remain on Deep Space Nine as a resistance against the occupation.

The Star Trek Collection is a worthy hobby and certainly the largest of the television series DVD Collections (The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise). At around 880 minutes, it is 4 episodes (1 Disc) less than TNG, and at least 2 Discs less than TOS. However in total, for the definitive, Star Trek collection, we are still looking at approx 30 boxes with 700 hours of viewing. That is 1 month of non-stop Star Trek. No DVD series comes remotely close to that. ... Read More

I cannot express enough superlatives about Season Six of Deep Space Nine. Even though it has been about a decade since this season aired on television, the stories never get old and the storylines are always enjoyable. There are quite a few episodes that are vying for my favorite..."Far Beyond The Stars", "Profit and Lace", etc. Knowing that the upcoming season, Season Seven, is the last of the televised episodes, it makes me wish that movies will be made with the cast of this series. A Deep Space ... Read More

After I watched this episode again recently, it set me thinking about a lot of things that I not only saw with this particular version of Star Trek, but science fiction as a whole. The episode 'Far Beyond the Stars' is easily the high-water mark for this entire show, despite the fact that it was completely separate from the main and ongoing story-line of the show. This episode actually stands by itself much like 'Inner Light' does with Next Generation and 'City on The Edge of Forever' with the Original ... Read More
