Editorial 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 organization 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

Rating:  - Fun For Trekkies!
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 ... Read More
Rating:  - Another Great Season for DS9
My initial reaction to Season 2 of DS9 was, "When are we going get to the Dominion?" This can make one view Season 2 somewhat impatiently. When you sit back and just enjoy it for what it is, you might learn something. But what is it. Well, it starts off nicely with a three-parter concerning the recovery of a famous Bajoran freedom fighter Li Nalas (who seems bored as hell to be on the show, always seeming tired and crossing his arms) but there are rather interesting episodes that draw a clearer portrait ...

Rating: - Deep Trek - Cardassians become friendly, the Jem'hader show themselves and echoes of the Dominion.
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 ... Read More

~Trekkie~
Rating:  - Three and a half stars
I gave the first season a chance, and was surprised that I was entertained, but noted some problems. Alot of those problems were fixed with this season. Firstly, this season starts doing some really interesting things, twist endings, exploration of more interesting cultures in the gamma quadrant, and the introduction of the dominion. Further, the show starts to show some real development of the characters. This show is certainly no star trek the next generation, but in many ways that is a very good thing. ... Read More
