Amazon.co.uk Review

Only Kira Nerys would risk going to war over an earring. With the witty and wise second-season opener "The Homecoming," the writers started taking chances with the direction of Deep Space Nine--and the payoffs are immediate and far-reaching. It's the first episode in a complex trilogy involving the fate of the tenuous Bajoran Provisional Government, an extremist group called the Circle, and a legendary member of the resistance whom Sisko believes might be able to unite Bajor.

Continuing its blend of action, mystery, intergalactic politics, and religion, the second season gave prominent parts to Jadzia Dax ("Invasive Procedures," "Playing God," "Blood Oath"), Kira Nerys ("The Collaborator," in which Odo gives the first sign of his feelings toward her), the Cardassian Garak ("Cardassians"), Odo ("The Alternate"), Chief O'Brien ("Whispers," "Tribunal"), Commander Sisko ("Paradise"), and Quark ("Profit and Loss"), and Dr. Bashir developed relationships with both O'Brien ("Armageddon Game") and Garak ("The Wire").

Highlight episodes include the alternate-universe "Crossover," which pays homage to the original series' "Mirror, Mirror," and the two-part spotlight on the Maquis (first introduced in The Next Generation), a loose-knit organisation of disenfranchised Federation colonists who resort to terrorist methods to provoke a new war between the Federation and the Cardassians. By the end of season 2, the only thing DS9 lacked was a really good villain. It got three for the price of one. Turns out the Dominion (first discovered in the underappreciated Ferengi spotlight "Rules of Acquisition") is a trinity of evil: the Founders, the Vorta, and the Jem'Hadar, those born-and-bred bad guys whose mission in life is to serve the Founders. The season-closer "The Jem'Hadar" is an intelligent, powerful episode that reveals all--and nothing--about the Dominion. --Kayla Rigney

Synopsis

In this second 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 nineteen episodes from the second series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Under-Rated Season, 14 Aug 2007
Too many times have I heard Deep Space Nine fans claim the series was only good from it's third season. How wrong they are.

While the later Dominion threat is only foreshadowed in this season, there are plenty of other interesting stories that make this season a classic. It's strength lies in how the writers have managed to keep and expand upon all the good aspects of season 1, while diminishing or removing most of the bad parts. Season 1 suffered from a number of seemingly rejected Next Generation stories, presumably to try and lure in that fanbase. Luckily, writers also moved in new directions with stories like "Duet" and "In The Hands Of The Prophets", both of which lead in to the opening trilogy of this season, "The Homecoming", "The Circle" and "The Siege". I can understand why some fans may not have such a strong interest in alien politics, but it's a new direction for Star Trek, and can only improve the franchise by expanding it's horizons and luring in new fans.

Other strong episodes in the first half of the season include several character pieces, such as "Cardassians" with Dr Bashir and Garak, "Necessary Evil" with Odo and Kira, "Whispers" with Chief O'Brien, and "Blood Oath" with Dax. The two-parter "The Maquis" sets-up a new terrorist organisation that would later spill over into spin-off Star Trek: Voyager, and the final stretch of episodes has to be the longest run of consistantly strong episodes in the history of the franchise. Final episode "The Jem'Hadar" finally introduces us to a part of The Dominion, who would get much more expansion in the next season.

Don't dismiss this season so easily. It's perhaps the best second season of all the Star Treks.

5.0 out of 5 stars You cant go far wrong,ds9 without the Dominion and well worth it, 21 Oct 2007
By Stuart (Ireland) - See all my reviews
Season 2 of ds9 has a diffrent feel to it than the later seasons but has some episodes Ive watched as often as some of the last seasons. Episodes like "Necessary Evil" a show placed in time during the occupation of Bajor is very interesting to watch and really captured the way it must have been before the station was abandoned. This episode mainyl introduced how ODO got the job of an investigator and security chief on the station. "The Wire" is maybe the most air time Andrew Robinson ever got as Garak in an episode and this is a classic episode for Garak. "Whispers" is an episode of O brien basicly knws somethings wrong with the crew but not sure what and eventually you want him to espcape the station and this is excellent also. "Armageddon Game" is probably a forgoten episode by many star trek fans but I found very good. ALso in season 3 are "Tribunal" where O Brien is accused of smuggling by the Cardassian authorities and is put on trial. You feel for O Brien when his lawyer says "Winning isnt everything". There are some episodes on this season which fans may consider just too ordinary, such as "Second Sight" and "Playing God" but thers plenty of quality episodes. Of course I dont no if a casual watcher of star trek would be into buying tihs season but as im somone who feels ds9 was my favourite series I wouldnt sell this season on. The Maquis Part 1 and Part 2 I thought were very good also. Even without the dominion ds9 is really good. The story is well told and the acting and writing is so good at times. Extras on Season 2 are - Crew Profile of Jadzia Dax(the actress Terry Farrell talking about her thoughts on her character) New frontiers The story of ds9, michael westmore aliens season 2, Deep space nine sketchbook season 2, New station new ships documentary, Quarks Story. And various section 31 hidden files, which give few minute interviews with an actor or crew member of the show.

5.0 out of 5 stars High quality entertainment, 19 July 2007
By Bronco (London, England) - See all my reviews
Although we don't see the Defiant until season three, the excitement level is given a boost with the three part introduction regarding the rise of chauvinism and xenophobia on Bajor. Winn's Machiavellian and ruthless power grabbing -- throughout -- makes for gripping entertainment.

WHAT'S GOOD

Episodes like Second Sight, Armageddon Game, Paradise, Shadowplay, Blood Oath take us back to TNG roots, giving us some great moments away from the station. The character development between O'Brien and Bashir in Armageddon Game is first class. The brutal repression of the anti technologist in Paradise elicits much anger, showing that the episode has seen top class direction. Episodes like Cardassians, Melora, Sanctuary, Rivals, Whispers, The Wire and The Jem'Hadar are within-the-station episodes, which focus on character development and intrigue rather than TNG style exploration and discovery. I love the friendship turmoil between Bashir and Garak in The Wire; The Jem'Hadar is a brilliant end of season episode which coincides with the last episode of The Nest Generation (All Good Things).

WHAT'S NOT GOOD

I didn't really like Invasive Procedures; I found it to be the least entertaining or gripping episode. I found John Glover's (Verad) wooden acting a let down. However, we did get more insight to Farrel's character.
