Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

From the outset, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was about conflict. Producers Rick Berman and Michael Piller challenged the utopian ideals of Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek universe to create something totally different from its predecessors. That meant no familial camaraderie, squeaky-clean Federation diplomacy, or beige décor. Instead they wanted inter-personal friction, ruthless enemies (Gamma Quadrant Imperialists--The Dominion) and rebellion at every turn. The DS9 concept was originally facilitated by introducing the Cardassian/Bajoran war during The Next Generation's final days. After a muted first reception fans gradually came to accept the new look, but no one liked Star Trek without a starship and eventually the producers capitulated to viewers' wishes by introducing the USS Defiant (an apt name) in Season 3.

Relying far less on technobabble than TNG, DS9 was unafraid to focus on matters of the spirit instead, demonstrating a ballsy independence from its parent shows. Taking up the gauntlet thrown down by Babylon 5, improved CGI space battles also became a fan favourite. Throughout the increasingly serialised story arc there were rebellious factions within the different establishments: Kira had belonged to the Shakaar resistance cell; The Maquis was Starfleet vs. Cardassians; Section 31 was a secret Starfleet group; The True Way was a Bajoran group opposed to peace; the Cardassians had their Obsidian Order and the Romulans their Gestapo-like Tal Shiar. Yet for all its constant bickering and espionage (even Bashir got to be James Bond!), there was always some contemporary social commentary lurking: the Ferengi were used as a comedic foil to frown on materialistic greed; drugs were looked at via the Jem'Hadar foot soldiers' addiction to Ketracel White.

Perhaps Sisko summed up the real heart of things: "Bajor doesn't need a man, it needs a legend". A future vision that retains a place for religion and spirituality turned out to be Deep Space Nine's first best destiny. --Paul Tonks

Synopsis

3.0 out of 5 stars should have been better, 14 Mar 2000

By A Customer

Yes, great battles, the return of the Defiant, these were good. But the plot was weak as the ending. Sisko died, Worf, Odo Miles left the station and Rom became Grand Nagus... It was not bad, but also was not the best DS9 Episode. If you are waiting for a fianl episode like All Good Things this certainly is not it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such a great conclusion to such a brilliant series, 21 Sep 2001

By A Customer

When I first started watching DS9, I was unsure as to where the story was going, until the introduction of the Dominion. There are several episodes which really relate to the hardships of war, and this one is probably the best of the lot. We see a conclusion to the war and the religious side of the series. Personally, the war side was the best part, but the religious part was like an added bonus that cleared up the emmisary role for captain Sisko.

4.0 out of 5 stars An action packed round up for an excellent series., 26 Jul 2000

By	Joshua Hall - See all my reviews

This is a truly upsetting and action packed round up for what turned out to be one of the most popular Star Trek series ever! I would recommend this to anyone who likes DS9 and watches it regularly. Even if you have not seen the preceeding episodes it still makes alot of sense. It completes the Dominion war well and raps up all the main characters. It is one of the best episodes ever seen although it does re-use alot of computer generated battle shots.
