Deep Trek - The Dominion and the Defiant. 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
The Star Trek Collection is a worthy hobby and certainly the largest of the television series DVD Collections (The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise). At around 880 minutes, it is 4 episodes (1 Disc) less than TNG, and at least 2 Discs less than TOS. However in total, for the definitive, Star Trek collection, we are still looking at approx 30 boxes with 700 hours of viewing. That is 1 month of non-stop Star Trek. No DVD series comes remotely close to that. Get going collecting right now and build up on each succession over the years. By the end you will have a very serious anthology that defines the word awe. This is the kind of item that requires 1 hour a day of your time for the next few years. It is a cherished memory that served your fathers and will serve your children also. Our very planet, Earth, has advanced because of Gene Roddenberry's admirable concept. Roddenberry nailed the premise of the series when he said that he wanted to create a show with characters that we could look up too. `The Bridge' members are like our family. Watch what they do. Then go and spend your life striving for the same on Earth. What engineer, medic, scientist, teacher, worker can not say that Star Trek has not influenced them? The show is this significant in the development of our species. Parents respect and quote its authority and it is not hard to see why. The DVD case may be the best of the lot. The shadowy design is foreboding of a darker trek inside. The case opens to reveal the 6 discs and a collectors' DVD-ROM of a section of a model graphic of DS9 (collect all complete the computer model). The discs are held in an open (no cardboard covering) plastic flip holder like in the TOS seasons. However these collectors' boxes are being replaced by the new slim line boxes that are cheaper. These are simply a cardboard holder with four to five slim DVD case holders with 1 to 2 discs in each holder (The slim line boxes do not contain the special collectors' DVD-ROM). There are 4 episodes per disc. However the last disc, disc 6 is devoted to Star Trek interviews and trailers with the usual expected extras...and then some more. Often the bonus disc may contain the last episode or two of the season, so watch out for those. Sometimes the episodes are ordered not in the sequence they where filmed, but in the sequence that they aired, however each episode has been numbered according to the order they where filmed in. This means on one disc you have shows 4, 2, 12 and 1, in that order. The sound has also been remastered to 5:1 Dolby Digital! Since the show was shot in full frame, these dimensions are retained.
Star Trek, Deep Space Nine (DS9), Season three is mostly about the new war looming on the other side of the wormhole by the Dominion.
The same crew is back. DS9 is commanded by Benjamin Sisko. Jake Sisko is his son. The mysterious Odo, learning more about his species in this season, is the station's metamorphosing police constable and a Bajoran operative. Doctor Bashir is the Starfleet doctor and Chief O'Brien is chief engineer. Quark is a Ferengi host who owns a casino and bar. Major Kira is Sisko's first in command, and a Bajoran. Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax is a Trill woman (and a long term friend of Sisko) assigned by Starfleet as technical advisor. Gul Dukat is a leading Cardassian. The mysterious Cardassian Garak reveals more about who he truly is.
Season Three of DS9 is mostly about the Dominion, Klingon marriage, Trills, memory implants, Jem'Hadar, auto destruct, dimension shifting, Will Riker, Bajoran celebrations, time travel, life support, love, joint science projects, rules of acquisition, psyche, parallel universes, war, ships, Ferengi laws, resistance and shape shifters.
Best episodes are Improbable Cause, The Die is Cast, The Abandoned, Civil Defence, Destiny and The Adversary. DS9 Season three has lots about the new threat of the Dominion and many of the stories are very interesting. One of the new directions this season goes in is with the Defiant ship which allows the crew of the DS9 to leave the space station and travel more into deep space. This means DS9 looses some it's `hotel in space' criticisms and does more trekking. The end of season three sets the stage for a revelation about what the Dominion have been up to all along. Season four looks like it may be a paranoid year for Starfleet.

THIS WHOLE SERIES IS ONE OF THE BEST SCI FI SERIES THAT HAS BEEN ON AND IT SURPASSES ANY OF THE "MOSTLY JUNK" THAT IS ON NOWADAYS. I WONDER WHERE ALL THE EXCELLENT WRITERS WENT TO?

Star Trek, Deep Space Nine (DS9), Season four is mostly about Worf joining DS9, the collapse of Cardassia and the Klingons breaking the peace treaty.
The same crew is back but with the addition of Worf from The Next Generation. DS9 is commanded by Benjamin Sisko. Jake Sisko is his son. Odo is the station's metamorphosing police constable and a Bajoran operative. Doctor Bashir is the Starfleet doctor and Chief O'Brien is chief engineer. Quark is a Ferengi host who owns a casino and bar. Major Kira is Sisko's first in command, and a Bajoran. Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax is a Trill woman (and a long term friend of Sisko) assigned by Starfleet as technical advisor. Gul Dukat is a leading Cardassian. The Cardassian Garak has a more permanent role to play.
Season Four of DS9 is mostly about Worf, Klingon Empire, other dimensions, Hippocratic Oath, secret affairs, the rules of society, tactics, time travel, mythical artefacts, James Bond, changelings, coup, love, demotion, honour, union strikes, the emissary, court-martial, memory implants, alternative universes, Muse, crime, Jem'Hadar, disease, contracts and Odo's people.
Best episodes are The Way of the Warrior, Hippocratic Oath, The Sword of Kahless, The Quickening and Broken Link.
DS9 Season four is the best of the first four DS9 seasons. The series has matured enough to have a good direction, ripe experienced characters, a sense of something bigger looming, the Defiant means DS9 now has a Star Trek ship and the quality of storytelling has increased tenfold with this season. Nearly every episode is excellent. They have also injected a little more humour but also a lot of darkness. The CGI has improved a lot and there are more space battles than any previous Star Trek instalment. One of the new directions this season goes in is with Worf. The series did need other characters and taking on Worf was an excellent move. The end of season four moves deeper into the Dominions plan to conquer the Federation. Season five looks like it will be all out war for everybody.
**As a note this season is rated `15' in Europe because it contains some stronger scenes of violence than usual for Star Trek, so parents may want to view the episodes before letting younger children watch them.**
Editorial Review:
STAR TREK DEEP SPACE NINE is set on a space station orbiting the planet Bajor. Commander Benjamin Sisko (Brooks) is in charge of a diverse crew who must fight off rival alien species who want to control DS9 because of its strategic position close to a wormhole that allows speedy travel to the far reaches of space. Season 4 includes the episodes "Broken Link" and "The Visitor," which TV Guide included in its Top 35 Star Trek episodes ever story (Aapril 20-26, 2002). "The Visitor" was listed as the #4 favorite.

Fun For Trekkies! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
I've been a Trekkie since 1966 and have enjoyed all the different versions of Star Trek! If I had to choose which version is my favorite, it would have to be Deep Space Nine. I already own and enjoy Season One, have obtained and continue to enjoy Season Two and I'm looking forward to obtaining Season Three.
Season Two continues to build on the foundation established in Season One and the last episode of Season Two is a cliff-hanger! Even though I know what is coming, I can't wait to watch it again!!!!!!!!
Better than I remembered 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
It's been about 10 yrs since I've last watched DS9. Season two was very insightful as it was building up to the Jem'Haddar war with the Federation. Many people feel the first two season weak, after watching this again, I have to disagree, it was not weak, just not as intensive or as story line driven.
Great watch for DS9 fans.

A Quick Comment On Each Film 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Here are a few quick notes on each movie in this collection to let you know what to expect, as well as a ranking on a five-star scale:
Star Trek: The Motion Picture: An interesting plot, but takes itself too seriously to be a fun film. (***)
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan: Very emotional drama, character development, and intense action make this a solid film in step with the original Star Trek "cannon". (*****)
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock: What the film lacks in overall plot it makes up for in emotional tension. (****)
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home: A comedic genius; light-hearted all around and full of laughs. (*****)
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier: The "search for God" plot proves to be unfruitful, while the main villain does not create credible tension. (**)
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country: A sort of futuristic re-telling of the United States/Russia relationship that hits all the right buttons to create high drama. (*****)

What Does A Movie Series Do After It Has Been "Killed?" It Futilely Seeks Resurrection, But Finds Only Lost And Tired Ghosts! 1 out of 5 stars.
1 of 5 people found this review helpful.
The only thing "Star Trek VI - The Undiscovered Country (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition)" has going for it, is that it is indelible proof that Harve Bennett, Nicholas Meyer, and Paramount were not making Star Trek movies, never had a clue what Star Trek was about, and were unabashedly willing to "steal" Gene Roddenberry's name and show to make a few bucks. The cast, moreover, have clearly "out grown" their roles--especially in stature and age--performing like tired, lost, sad, and diminished versions (ghosts, if you will) of their characters. The overbearing action and special effects that cow today's audiences stands as the avatar of what is allegedly a Star Trek movie. But, I will state emphatically that "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" is NOT A Star Trek film. It can be called Star Trek only in the fact that Paramount "stole" the name, as well as Gene Roddenberry's name, and taped it onto a movie.
As with Star Trek movies IV and V, I never went to see Star Trek VI in the theater. As stated elsewhere I have been attempting to find a way to "accept" these revisionist movies that excluded the creator of Star Trek, and, as such, I purchased this movie. While I will grant you that the script is better than Star Trek V, and the movie clearly revels in the advancements of special effects, the bad acting and illogical directing left me shaking my head. All I can really say, is poor Gene Roddenberry. He was, barely, alive to witness the utter destruction of his greatest hopes. Yes, Roddenberry is "said" to have found the movie "good," but what else could he say? It was like rubbing someone's nose in a "big stink" that was supposed to be roses, and asking how it smelled.
But, as a "foolish" collector, I can say, "I have all six of the Star Trek movies that starred the original television cast." I "ain't" sure it is something I am all that proud of accomplishing.
Update--1 July 2008: If this review was not helpful to you, I would appreciate learning the reason(s) so I can improve my reviews. My goal is to provide help to potential buyers, not get into any arguments. So, if you only disagree with my opinion, could you please say so in the comments and not indicate that the review was not helpful. Thanks.

Why Does God Need A Spaceship?! 2 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.
With the Star Trek II-IV movie "trilogy" (one long plotline) finished, the fifth film of the series is a self-contained story about growing old, friendship, and religion. Sadly, the film fails on all those accounts.
The gist of the film is that Spock's half-brother, Sybok (who has rejected his Vulcan heritage), hijacks the Enterprise in search of God in the outer reaches of the universe. Once found, "God" turns out to be a rather tempermental being who becomes angry when his escape from beyond the galaxy (the Enterprise) is taken from him. When Kirk utters the phrase "why would God need a spaceship?", the major plot point of the film turns to shambles. The entire mission (which wasn't all that compelling to begin with) turns into a sham, and ultimately a waste of time.
Perhaps the largest downfall of the film, however, is the inability of the writers/producers to create dramatic tension between Spock and Sybok. It is too much of a stretch to believe that the emotionless Spock will succomb to the rash tendencies of a character only just introduced to him.
Yet, despite failing on nearly all accounts, a few scenes are inspiring for their place in the Star Trek cannon. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy's vacation at Yosemite National Park is awe-insipring, heartfelt, and funny (Spock's marshmallow roasting machine is classic!), while the scene where Sybok diagnoses McCoy's and Spock's greatest pain is classic Star Trek fare (even down to Kirk's defiant refusal to be given the same treatment).
To conclude, this fifth installment in the Star Trek movie franchise is a forgettable romp through the deepest galaxy. Besides a few interesting scenes, the majority of the movie is unemotional, bland, and even hokey. Hard-care Star Trek fans will enjoy the moments (however slight) of character development this movie brings to the table, but I would advise less dedicated viewers to skip over this installment entirely.

Possibly the Best season 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Finally the seasons of hints and innuendo come to head and the dominion war finally occurs. This was the climax we had been waiting for. Starting after the amazingly gribbing cliff hanger, the show picks up head done into the war. The show never leaves it behind, but never resolves it either. While I expected the season to wrap it up at some point, much like real wars, it kept going, almost to the point where it was part of their regular life. The show was very dark in spots, but made up for it in a number of very light and fun episodes, involving Worf and Dax's wedding, and several fun ferengi episodes. I really have grown to love this show, and think it can stand toe to toe with any other sci-fi show out there. I recomend this season highly.

Got this as a present and love it. Love the original series, the concept, even love the trekish cases. However, I agree with the other review about the transfer quality on this set. What the hell is wrong with these people? How could you mess up one of the most popular and famous shows of all time. Who authroized this crappy static-filled edition? Must have been a Klingon trader or some Harry Mudd scheme.
Shoot me now, with maximum strength phasers.
Get it right next time, dolts.
But nevertheless, ahhhhhhhhhhhh, Star Trek. The complete set. On my shelf.

I bought this star trek collection for my brother's birthday. I had it shipped directly to him. I have since asked him how he liked it and he tells me that it is great to have. He says that he falls asleep at night while watching the old shows, just like the old days. Can't go wrong getting this for a star trek lover. Good price too!!

There's Just No Excuse 2 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.
OK. I'm a huge StarTrek nerd, and DS9 is my favorite StarTrek series. That said, this final season is such a huge disappointment. The ingrates, that's right ingrates, running the Trek franchise just completely nose-dived this series into the ground.
Why ingrates? Well, the producers took the expansive loyalty and enthusiastic good-will of StarTrek fans and exploited it in an attempt to gratify their own outsized egos. Where to begin? How about Ezri Dax for starters. one question. WTF were you guys thinking? I realize losing Terry Farrell was a major blow, but come on! They wasted half of the FINAL season introducing and enlarging a character that was little more than a band-aid. Yes, she's a cutie, but there's an inter-stellar war on! They should have just buried Dax and let it be.
Next, Vic Fontaine. Need I say more? Well I will anyway. What in the name of all that is holy? Who's idea was this? Got to be Ira Behr's doing. I mean, come on Ira, who is this singer/actor/cheese sandwich, your boyfriend or something? Seriously, there's no other explanation for his presence on this show. Maybe if Behr would take off his Wayfarers when he went to work, he could see when he was making a gigantic mistep. OK, maybe, MAYBE, a one-off episode. But They made him a major character. Were they just bored with writing Sci-Fi? Look, if you'd rather be writing insipid rat-pack rip offs, then please, for all our sakes, just quit Trek. Leave the show with some dignity.
And finally, the resolving of the Dominion war is just lame. It doesn't make sense any way you look at it. It comes off like a undergrad creative writing assignment where the student realizes he's already reached the minimum required length, and decides to lazily tie up the story in one final paragraph. Why do you think the DS9 books are so popular? Because fans NEED them just to give some kind of believable closure to characters we'd all grown to love so much.
Bad job, Guys. You really dropped the ball here... as well as in other Trek series (Enterprise anyone?). Lets hope the new Trek movie will breathe some life back into Gene Roddenberry's much-loved Universe.

Best Season of DS9 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
I've really enjoyed reliving the DS9 series. It was during the 5th season that I watched only sporatically so I never did understand the whole Dominion war thing. This season delivers episodes with lots of action and intrigue. Any Star Trek fan will enjoy this whole series. It's such a departure from the "living on a space ship" type story. DS9 is almost a "serial" with this series. Get all 7 seasons. You won't be disappointed.
Mature DS9 episodes that fire on all cylinders, and even throw in some tribbles! 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
A very entertaining season, heavy with quality, character-based episodes, and free of any outright clunkers. This is also the season where the Federation's conflict with the Dominion moves closer and closer to war, which lends all kinds of tension to the proceedings... and tension equals drama equals viewing entertainment. And speaking of entertainment, yes, this is the season that features "Trials and Tribbleations", the famous DS9 sequel to the original series episode, "The Trouble With Tribbles". The episode is both a technical marvel (Sisko, Dax, etc. walk around in the original 1960's episode in a seamless fashion) and marvelously entertaining. The extras are fun, too: lots of "making of" details (especially about the tribbles episode) and lots of interesting "we were going for this or that" comments by the writers, actors, and producers. These season-long Trek DVD sets continue to be a lot of fun.
