Amazon.co.uk Review

The second series of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine must have caused mixed feelings for those involved. There was a sense of optimism behind the scenes that stemmed from having gained a loyal following--made up of plenty of new fans--in its relatively short first year. The show had genuinely succeeded in being different from its predecessors. Better still, The Next Generation would be bowing out gracefully halfway through this year. So it was that, with several more series guaranteed, the writers changed tack from standalone tales and into long-running story arcs. This was immediately evident in the format-testing three-part opening. Through the actions of Kira and her old pals, we saw that the Bajorans would only ever work toward their own agenda, whereas the Cardassians easily switched sides to suit their various agendas. The Federation was hardly innocent of political machinations either, especially with the discovery of the Maquis terrorists a few episodes later.

This three-way dynamic would underpin the entire run of the show. Expanding upon it was the handover of the Klingon saga from The Original Series and TNG, in which old warhorses Kor, Kang and Koloth first appeared. That left the Ferengi to maintain an element of fun with their Rules of Acquisition (Number 112: "Never have sex with the boss's sister"), exploration of their sexist culture and, naturally, through everything touched by the scene-stealing Quark (who was rewarded with a cameo for his real life wife). What seemed like standalone stories--Odo meeting his mentor, a trip into The Original Series' parallel universe and the culminating encounter with some super-soldiers (the Jem'Hadar)--later turned out to be more optimistic seed-sowing. Unfortunately, this second series also began with some concern about a competitor franchise, which started at exactly the same time as TNG ended. The impact of Babylon 5 on DS9 and TV SF in general by the end of the year could never have been envisioned at the start. --Paul Tonks

4.0 out of 5 stars Be careful, 20 Aug 2003
By M. Brants (Tilburg Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Be very careful when opening these box sets! The joints are rather weak and broke when I opened the lid a bit too far, with both seasons 1 and 2. The plastic they used is much weaker compared to the plastic of the TNG-boxes, which is much sturdier.

The contents is, of course very good. The 2nd season is already better than the 1st, although some weak episodes do pop up from time to time (Melora, Playing God). The best episodes, in my opinon are: The homecoming-The siege-The circle, Necessary evil, Whispers, Paradise, The Maquis, The wire, Crossover, Tribunal, The Jem'Hadar.

The extra features are again good, especially “Michael Westmore's aliens”.

This set deserves 5 stars, but because of the weak casing I give it 4 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Utterly enjoyable season of Star Trek!, 27 May 2003
Of all the four DS9 series I've seen so far, the second one ranks as my second favourite just after the awesome season three. Where the season one was a bit slow and a tad boring, the second one literally delivers the goods. Stories were more ambitious and varied. Acting is top notch and Avery Brooks had some truly great moments to show off his skills (like the brilliant two parter "The Maquis"). Also Armin Shimerman performance as Quark is riveting to watch!

Season starts with an excellent three part story arc ("The Homecoming", "The Circle", "The Siege") which focused on the cultural and religious matters of Bajoran people. Some of these matters were continued on the emotional "The Collaborator". Other awesome episodes include the Odo and Kira episode "Necessary Evil", Colm Meany showpieces like "Armageddon Game" and "Whispers". And who can forget Andrew Robinson's stunning performance as Garak on "The Wire". Season ends with a bang - the action packed episode "The Jem'Hadar" which left me wanting more and more! The episode would be continued in the next season. Usually I find some clunkers in every season of Star Trek, but not in here! I like all the episodes in this boxset!

Picture quality on these DVDs is great and sharp. It's somewhat comparable to the Star Trek: The Next Generation's season 7 release. I was pleasantly surprised by the new 5.1 surround audiotrack. There's great ambience and LFE channel really adds punch to the overall mix. This is the way the show should've been seen in the first place! On the disk #7 there's some really nice extra features that delve in the making of the show. Shame there's no tv-spots or audiocommentaries.

If you didn't like the first season of DS9 please give it another chance! The show improves massively and rightfully takes it's place as a best Star Trek series ever!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fanastic! Well worth the wait..., 27 Jun 2003
This DVD is fantastic! Not only does it build on the first season, it sets up so much for future series. It not only delivers top quality television, but it sets up so many questions. It gives the viewer an indepth insight into Cardassian and Bajoran culture, gives birth to the Marquis (incidently gving the aging TNG a lease of life) and gives ominous rumblings to the future of the Federation (*hoarse whisper* The Dominion...) It is far more dynamic then TNG, (or for that matter Voyager, no doubt to be released into DVD format in the near future) it is darker, more alive, more intense and, simply put, powerful stuff. It explains past and present in a way never seen before. It allows relationships from series 1 to strengthen and provides new ones. It expertly shows the divide in the Federation, and that not all StarFleet officers are perfect. It has oodles of action and intrigue, but it is also, at times, a thought provoking and philosophical series. Even the very few weaker episodes , Rivals and Melora and maybe 1 more, are good and are worthy of merit and by gum, the stronger ones will have you praising the great trekkie god in the sky for the ripe bounty. Honest.
