Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

Deep Space Nine's sixth season began ambitiously with a six-part story arc devoted to the Dominion War. This was a brave move in many ways, but a sensible one too. Whereas other sci-fi shows wouldn't commit to showing the impact of war (e.g., Babylon 5), here there were numerous visible sacrifices. Characters were frequently kidnapped and held prisoner, allowing screen time for other members of the ever-growing cast (at its peak there were as many as 18 individuals with speaking roles per episode). This year also introduced the idea of Starfleet Intelligence and its sinister Section 31; alliances were built only to crumble almost immediately; Sisko led a suicide mission and at long last his destiny as the Emissary took a serious turn.

Amid all this sturm und drang the writers felt it necessary to inject some levity. In fact, there was so much comedic sidetracking this year it actually seemed as if they were afraid of the series' dark tone. Witness: Quark undergoing a temporary sex change, leading a Magnificent Seven-style band of Ferengi (with a cameo from Iggy Pop), Morn's nonspeaking character being sorely missed, the blend of Troi and Guinan into '60s crooner Vic Fontaine, and, in one fan favorite episode ("Far Beyond the Stars"), Sisko having visions of himself and the crew as 1950s staff writers on pulp magazine Incredible Tales. There were also cute reconciliations among Worf's extended family (leading to Trek's first cast wedding), and even the revelation of Bashir's genetically enhanced origins quickly became a subject for easy jokes.

Any of these events would have been satisfactorily cute if the war had ended and the show had moved on. But it confused the viewer when every so often the battle would be rejoined mid-episode. The clinching proof that no grand design was really at work was in the sudden exit of Dax. Despite all the jarring humor scattered about after the strong opening, the show seemed unable to avoid reverting to shock tactics for its finale. All of which hardly made the promised final year seem a particularly enticing prospect. --Paul Tonks

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of DS9!, Jul 15 2004
By A Customer
This is a must have season for DS9 fans! The two-parter "Favor the Bold" and "Sacrifice of Angels" are definately the best of the lot. Other good offerings include "You are Coordially Invited," "One Little Ship," "Valiant," and "Tears of the Prophets."

1.0 out of 5 stars Dax's death was shock entertainment value alone., Mar 20 2004
DS9 ended on a low note with the sudden exit of Terry Farrell as Jadzia Dax, only a handful of episodes after she had married Worf, Farrell had a disagreement with series creator Berman about money and in a cheap sudden decision, Dax was killed in the season finale. Leaving Worf without a wife, and Ben Sisko so saddened that he resigned his command and returned to Earth to run his father's restraunt. I think the show should have been cancelled after that. By this point, several Trekkies had grown disllissioned with Star Trek under Berman's direction and went over to watching Babylon Five.

4.0 out of 5 stars War time on DS9, Feb 28 2004
By McHenry John (McHenry, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews
The war vs. the Dominion escalates with the near defeat of the Federation. Contains great episodes like "Far Beyond the Stars" in which Sisko has a vision of the past & he thinks its the present. Also watch the wedding of Dax & Worf.
