Rating:  - DS9 - Season Five
I've been enjoying DS9 from when it was aired on television and again on DVD beginning with "The Emissary". Each season has gotten progressively better and Season Five is one of the most FUN! Currently, I am re-watching the episode: "Looking for Par'Mach in All The Wrong Places", and enjoying it again! I can't wait to see the remainder of the episodes in this season!
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 turn forces the Klingons to retreat from Dominion/Cardassian Space. Babylon 5 will still be my favorite of the two but this season was for the most part pretty good. The video format is fullscreen but very clear much better than any Vhs tape the sound is also very clear hearinf much more detail than when I first saw it on t.v. So seeing as the price of these season sets has dropped more I say try some of these out and see if you like getting the rest of the season sets.
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. Sisko has come into his own as captain. All the characters are now more and more interesting. The supporting characters are great, and frankly this show is one of the best science fiction shows around. I regret treating this show like the middle child it seemed to be. Left after the next generation, but not allowed to become the flagship show (that was left to voyager), constantly having to fight off other sci-fi competitors (babylon 5), this show was always given the raw end of the stick. But the show didn't seem to care. Every season has improved, and rather than copy what others had done, this show stayed the course it always intended. Having watched this show from the begining, you can tell the intent for the dominion war from as soon as season 2. This show could have played off old star trek cliche's, but instead chose to be its own, for better or worse. Try this show. I ignored it for far to long and missed out on some of the best science fiction had to offer.
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 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.
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.
