Amazon.co.uk Review
The fourth series of Deep Space Nine can be summed up in one word: Klingons! The show's producers apparently felt beset from all sides. Babylon 5 was a huge hit, as was Star Trek: Voyager, the flagship of new channel UPN. Stepping up DS9's action quotient seemed to be the answer. Time would tell, however, whether doing so via Trek's tried-and-tested former bad guys was the best solution. Opening with a special two-hour extravaganza, the new year was immediately unfamiliar. Dennis McCarthy's original theme--despite winning an Emmy--had been deemed too subdued. As its upbeat new rendition kicked off, the station was seen in battle and swarming with activity. Moments later, we met old/new crewmember Worf, whose sudden appearance was the result of a brewing invasive strategy by the Klingons. This initiated the first of many loyalty shifts, as the Cardassians became the victims. With plenty of re-appearances by Gowron, Kor, and Kurn, it was clear that an ongoing space opera was being crafted. Dukat revealed a tragedy-ridden daughter; Odo's relationship with his people (and Kira) became increasingly melancholy; and even the Jem'Hadar foot soldiers were given a sympathetic angle by their drug addiction.

Adding to the layers of ambiguity about Earth's (read: the producers') position over being at war, was the "outing" of two recurring characters as rebel activists. Lest we forget the homely/spiritual side of the Captain, time was spent with a future version of Jake, with his father (Brock Peters), and on the nature of his role as "the Emissary." Avery Brooks worked behind the camera a couple of times, but this year the surprise was LeVar Burton directing five shows. There was still time for comedy: the Ferengi warped back to Roswell in 1947 and Bashir played James Bond. But the year will be remembered predominately for its violence. One of the episodes Burton directed had its fight scenes drastically cut, while the series as a whole won an Emmy for its space battle effects.--Paul Tonks

Synopsis
In this fourth 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-five episodes from the fourth series.

4.0 out of 5 stars starting to live up to it's full potential, 28 Jul 2007
By R. Fisher "entertainment lover" (west midlands uk) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
After a less than stellar start to deep space nine with seasons 1 & 2,followed by the signs of a great show emerging in season 3,season 4 sees the show living up to its potential as it opens with a stunning 2 parter way of the warrior which introduces a certain klingon officer to the crew as well as escalate tensions to the breaking point between the federation & klingon empire, the season carries on going from strength to strength with some fine episodes delving into mirror universes, combining forces with sworn enemies love that never dies, & traitorous officers. By this point the cast were all comfortable with their respective roles & the special effects rather good, from action orientated episodes like to the death, way of the warrior, for the uniform to the more dramatic touching episodes like the visitor, rejoined, the quickening this series boasts some of the best stand alone episodes of deep space nine & at this low price its definitely worth a look.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Quality Season, 24 Oct 2007
By Stuart (Ireland) - See all my reviews
Ds9 kicks off in feature film style in season 4 with "The Way of The Warrior" parts 1 and 2 interlinked. This was really well done. Putting every character including almost every guest character into the hole thing and all the characters linking the story together. Worf from "The Next Generation" makes his first appearance as a main character in this episode all the way to the final in season 7. The battle sqequences and interlinking of all the alien races and characters make this 2 parter work so well. Following this are 2 excellent episodes "The Visitor" with Jake as an old man in the future reflecting on the past that took his father. A very emotional episode indeed and the actors can be very proud of their work. The writers too. "Hippocratic Oath" sees Miles and Julian captured by Jem Hadar and both characters are in disagreement as to how to deal with a complex situation. On disc 2 "Indiscretion follows" on and is a very unlightly combination of focusing on Kira and Du Kat being partners to rescue some long lost crash victims. It gets more complex as the episode progreses. Nice to see ds9 using outdoor locations like the desert which was really convincing of an alien crash site in this episode.
"Little Green Men" Is a very imaginative funny episode involving Quark, Nog and Rom somhow being transported back in time to Roswell in 1947 - You know this is the real truth about Roswell, the proof is in the episode. "Starship Down" put me on edge when I saw it first as it seems 1 or more of the main character might have died becuase of the devastation done to the Defiant by the Dominion. "Sword Of Kahless" sees Jadzia, Worf and Kor go in search for the legendary Sword only to have other parties purse it too. Thers a James Bond style episode "Our Man Bashir" whcih interesting and entertaining seeing the main cast members and Garak play roles or maybe there alter egos? in the Holsuite. Rom forms A Union in "Bar Association" which I like now where as in previous years I would have overlooked this kind of episode a lot. A ferengi Episode involving mostly Rom, and other Ferengi and Lita. A lot of credit should go to Max Grodenchik for playing Rom. From the episode Rom suffers a bad ear ache "Brother am I still standing?" then keels over unconcious. "Lita to Quark, "Arent you going to do something?" Quark replies, " Yes I am, Im going to dock his pay" Rom tries to form a Workers Union. On disc 6 is "To The Death" You never thought youd see the federation and the Dominion team up, but they do for this episode and Wyoun makes his debut in ds9. Th actor actually played a 1 off character in season 1 and severeal other characters inlcuding Brunt and Shran in Enterprise. "Body Parts" sees Quark having to auction off his body parts in the second last episode of the season, Garaks in this 1 too. Then "Broken Link" is the final of season 4 and ends the Season well with but with Odo in trouble.
There are slightly more extras in season 4 than seasons 1-5. They are "Charting New Territory:DS9 Season 4", "Crew Dossier:LT Worf", "Michael Westmores Aliens Season 4", "DS9 Sketchbook: John Eaves"
"Bob Blackmans Designs of the Future", "Jim Martin Sketchbook", "DS9 Chronicles", "PHOTO GALLERY" And as always semi hidden section 31 hidden files/easter eggs to find and click on involving quick few minute inteviews with cast members or producers and artists of the show.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a series, what a price - what are you waiting for?, 13 Jun 2008
By B. J. Davies "EntilZha" (The Rhondda, South Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Brilliant series all round, the best Star Trek series of them all.

For anyone interested in replacing seasons 1-4 (of the old larger case sets) which had a problem with the design of the cases causing centre hole becoming damaged, I want to assure you, absolutely, that these slimcase sets are absolutely identical in disc structure and menu design. The only difference is the image on the disks which is no real problem.

For anyone wanting to buy DS( as a complete series - simply get them in this format. The price is amazing when compared to the large cased first releases, I wish I had known they were going to make these as I could have saved a fortune.
