Retrospective: "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" (1993)
Bob Bloom
This was a pivotal season for the third series in the Star Trek
enterprise.
The most important change to DS9 was the addition of Michael Dorn's
Worf, which as the writers point out, in one of the featurettes, opened
up new possibilities for the series.
This seven-disc set offers not only all 25 episodes, including such
highly regarded titles as "The Visitor," "Little Green Men" and
"Rejoined," but interviews with Dorn explaining why he decided join the
cast, behind-the-scenes look at several episodes and characters, as well
as the interesting "Charting New Territory: Deep Space Nine Season
Four," which gives an overall view of the season, the direction it took
and its impact on the remainder of the series.
The Dolby Digital sound adds an extra dimension to this s-f classic, a
series which improved from season to season.
It is a set that will enthrall not only Trekkers, but science fiction
fans in general.
