4.0 out of 5 stars
Great series stupid price, 4 Dec 2005
This series is a brilliant example of what Star Trek is really about only taken further than any of the other franchises as many other reviewers have already stated. Rather than be good vs. evil, or clear morals and ethics, DS9 takes it all and adds more depth. Baddies whom you can sympathise with, goodies who do things they're not proud of, there is so much more realism to this series in terms of characters, repurcussions etc.Suffice to say that I think it's an excellent show; however as stated in my review's title the price for it new in the UK is a joke. I purchased my boxset through Amazon Marketplace from China. I got it for £140 brand new, and it is identical to the UK version in all aspects (region 2, English Audio 2.0/5.1 Surround, English menus). The only difference is that there is some extra Cantonese on the box. And at £140 it's a steal. That is where I'd recommend to buy this product.

Absolute Class, 18 Jan 2006
By A Customer
This show is an absolute classic
Being quite new to start trek, (i'd only really seen the next gen movies and 5 seasons of next gen) someone told me that DS9 was the best of the lot.
I ignored this advice until I watched the TNG crossover show, which was largly set on DS9 and featured Dr Bashir, i thought this looks interesting.
Have 2 weeks off work, i decided to buy the whole lot and watch them all (i know, i'm a loser!)
I must say i was blown away by what i saw, the 1st 2 seasons are prety much standard trek, but a litle bit darker. Season 3, however, when the dominion begin to appear, is where the show begins to shine.
The characters and not clear cut good and evil.
Ben Sisko's got to THE most complex captain in trek history.
Odo, the stern changling head of secuirty, eventually shows his emotional side after many years of lusting after a certain bajoran major.
Quark, the ferengi barkeep (one of treks truely great creations) keeps everyone on their toes, with his dogdy deals, and stolen goods.
and Jadzia Dax, possibly the sexiest woman in sci-fi history.Lets face it, if your thinking of buying this set, then you've seen most of it, and know what lies in store.
If you haven't, trust me when I say it's worth it, I had never seen it either, and loved it. I could rant on all day about how good this is.
On a final note, think of it this way
It's not so much a 7 season show, as a 176 hour mini series. The singles still come in seperate collectors boxes,and look great.

The ugly duckling., 25 Feb 2006
By A Customer
I remeber how at the time i seemed to be the only person who loved this show i really got hooked during the second season, deep space nine just got better and better and remains my favourite sci-fi show ever.Reading the reviews on amazon it is a very nice suprise to see how loved the show is, it deserves to be loved, every thing has already been said in these reviews and to be honest i could speak about ds9 for hours, it is a shame that they never filmed a follow up tv movie like they said they might but such is life in sci-fi land.
It may be a bit ugly during its first two seasons but it becomes a very beautiful swan no other star trek show has matched yet.
