Synopsis
In this sixth instalment of the STAR TREK spin-off, Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks), commander of the starship Deep Space Nine, discovers the first known stable wormhole--a virtual shortcut through space that leads from the Alpha Quadrant to the Gamma Quadrant on the other side of the galaxy. The Gamma Quadrant is governed by the Dominion, a group led by the Changelings--a group of shape shifters which counts DS9 crew member Odo (Rene Auberjonois) as one of its own. The Dominion has become a violent force in the galaxy, and the Deep Space Nine and its crew is the only hope of upholding the way of life established by the Federation. This collection includes all twenty-six episodes from the sixth series.

Customer Reviews

let war commence
The best season of deep space nine begins with the six part occupation arc continuing from the season 5 finale in which hostile forces occupy the station & its up to a small band of resistance fighters to help Starfleet forces retake the station which concludes with an epic battle.

The season continues with episodes of the highest calibre with marriage in `you are concordantly invited', faked death in who `mourns for morn', survival with your worst enemy in `waltz', the fantastic `beyond the stars', the secret sub division of the federation in `inquisition', unprepared glory hungry cadets in `valiant' & the exciting & heart breaking season finale `tears of the prophets'.

This season showcases the finest of ds9 & perhaps of any star trek show. It's worth every penny you pay for it particularly at this low price, snap it up.

Forget about the prime directive... shoot on site
Deep Space Nine has often been criticised for being set in one place and never getting any exploring done. After 3 seasons of a semi-decent show I would have agreed with them,, but after the Klingon war and the Dominion skirmishes, Captain Benjamin Sisko shows that exploring is second best to explosive sci-fi combat in true starfleet style. After abandoning DS9 at the end of season 5 and mining the entrance to the wormhole, the dominion have starfleet in retreat but have no hope of reinforcements, the scales are balanced but with stolen dominion technology, a cardassian traitor, the help of the prophets and secret bio-logical warfare, we get to see a new side of star trek... the one that shows us how in time of war, the rules no longer apply. If you buy one season of DS9, buy this one!

deep space nine> excellent story arc
i simply loved deep space nine, though i don't care for the episodes where they overuse the holodeck or suddenly time travel the main story arc and the characters such as kira, odo, quark are some of the best written sci-fi i've seen, as entertaining as babylon 5 or the new battlestar galactica show

if you like any of those you'll love deep space nine...you don't have to be a trekkie to like it at all [i'm no fan fan star trek te next generation for exampe]


an all deep space nine is THE BEST star trek based show to date in my opinion.
