Editorial Review:
Deep Space Nine's fifth season was a turning point from which there was no going back. Character and information overload took over, and the complicated twists and turns in the build up to war either hooked viewers securely, or sent them away with a headache. The Klingon faction instigated by Worf's arrival was occasionally played for laughs, but mostly their hardheaded personalities made all efforts at diplomacy moot. In the opening episode a chilling possibility is proposed as to what might be: have the Changelings infiltrated already and replaced key personnel? Some fans saw this as a flawed X-Files-style development. Nevertheless it sowed a seed of insidious suspicion, affecting all the principal casts' relationships with one another, even allowing Odo and Quark an opportunity to confess a degree of friendship. Expanding on the new theme of duplication, the crew also made numerous trips to their mirror-universe counterparts.
As well as new uniforms and the milestone 100th episode, Nana Visitor and Alexander Siddig got to comically disguise the arrival of their child during filming. More laughs came from the fan favorite "Trials and Tribble-ations," with CG allowing Sisko and crew to interact with Kirk and a cameo from Leonard Nimoy. Avery Brooks began taking a backseat, partly a result of the now-overcrowded cast. Although Sisko's destiny would be foreshadowed by his first vision and the introduction of the Pah-wraiths, the Captain was in an increasingly sulky mood. Brooks only directed one episode, allowing room for regulars LeVar Burton and Rene Auberjonois to do more behind the camera. Joining them were Alexander Siddig, Michael Dorn and even Andrew Robinson. Available space started to seem hardly deep enough. --Paul Tonks

Rating:  - One Of The Few Seasons I Truly Liked
I've just finished my collection of the Deep Space Nine seasons sets about five months ago and I personally feel this is one of the best seasons of the show. This season big opener of course was when Odo lost his shape-shifting abilities and became a solid and for a few episodes you saw how he had to try and adjust to this new way of living. Of course you still had the war between Starfleet and the Klingon Empire for half the season before the Dominion signs a pact with the Cardassians which in ... Read More
Rating: - Another great season
My reviews have been a little different, as each one is after watching all episodes back to back for the first time. As such, I've been able to see so much more than having to have waited for a year to enjoy them all. This show has had so many little things that added up from previous seasons. The characters have grown and changed, the cast has grown with it. The stories have gotten better, and more interesting. All of which led to the last episode...the begining of the dominion war. I was thrilled. ... Read More
Rating:  - Mature DS9 episodes that fire on all cylinders, and even throw in some tribbles!
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 ... Read More
Rating: - Best Season of DS9
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.
Rating: - Excelent!
This is perhaps the best season of a series that, without any doubt, is the best Star Trek show since Capt. Kirk's adventures. I recomend this to any Star Trek fan or anyone that likes science fiction. Special efects are fine, but the best thing about DS9 is the way the writter manages the history from the very beginning until open-war with the Dominion. The way the caracters and the relationships among them evolves over time is brilliant!.
My only regret is that all Star trek movies were based ... Read More
