[Star Trek Ds9 Season 1 Complete Torrent
Rancul Ratha
Voyager is a fan favorite of many readers; for many folks currently in their 20s and 30s this was their introduction to Star Trek. It has had a large influence on entire generation of Trekkies, especially young women, many of whom went on to pursue careers in the sciences.
I personally recall watching the pilot Caretaker, as part of the launch of the brand new UPN. Voyager was certainly the high point of the network, the other show I can remember was some awful action-adventure show with Richard Grieco (Wikipedia tells me this was called Marker). Coming off the high of the finale of TNG and Generations (because it was cool to see our TNG heroes on the big screen, plot issues not withstanding), Voyager had a lot to live up to, and it mostly succeeded. Sadly, the idea of UPN did not, and it started to drag Voyager down with it.
Thankfully, the episodes on each disc are written on the label! This has been an ongoing issue with many of the DVD and Blu-ray sets released over the years by CBS and/or Paramount. So kudos to CBS for having episode titles on the discs.
Im proud to say it never occured to me that the captain was female or that the chief engineer was either! To be honest I didnt think about Sisko being black until he raised it in episodes. I grew up watching Red Dwarf too (a cult UK sci-fi comedy series) and it never occured to me that the lead role and another (semi) lead role were black too. Sci-fi must help give you an open progressive mind :-)
My opinion, they should have made it home at the end of Season Six, and spent the entire Seventh Season with the crew experiencing the reality of coming home and feeling out of place. This happens to people who are stranded on islands, and also POWs.
Imagine a trial for the Maquis crew.. Janeway being court martialed for the incident and also the decision to make the Maquis starfleet officers. Where was her authority to negotiate a truce with the Borg that resulted in the murder and destruction of another race? What about destroying another Federation Ship? Not following the orders of the Omega Directive and involving the crew, some of whom were known terrorists? The Temporal Prime Directive that was disregarded time and time again? She would have to answer these questions and they would be difficult to explain.
Seven of Nine being studied by scientists and losing her rights. The Doctor being sent to Jupiter Station to be studied and losing his rights as an individual? Naomi Wildman meeting her father for the first time. Tom Paris still not seeing eye to eye with his father and seeing that Voyager was really his home and he felt more lost now than ever before.
How about how the Federation changed since the Dominion War? All the lives lost? Maybe the crew came back to Alpha Quadrant to find it was not the place they remembered. It would have been a great way to bind all the TNG era series together into one fitting goodbye.
Yep I generally agree with your point, throughout the entire series there should have more conflict among the two crews, and agree we should see how they tried to get back their lives, that would have been a very interesting and trying time for the crew.
I think the ultimate thing here was that the writers did not really care all that much for character development and arcs. Voyager had basically become an exclusively episode show like TNG was from the third season. The first two seasons actually had a lot of character arcs and some decent development of characters. But this seemed to stop later. The best we got were occasional sequel episodes and a few two parters and trilogys. Basically TNG-Mark II; Trying to replicate the success of that show, but seriously flagging.
And yes, an entire season could have been written showing the cast re-assimilating (no pun intended) into Alpha Quadrant life. Even a miniseries would have been nice, as the Maquis re-integrate, Paris deals with his father, Janeway with her ex-husband, both Seven & The Doc becoming curiosities for Federation scientists.
Janeway into the Borg queen? Whoa that is seriously out there as an idea. Most fans I think had seen well enough of the Borg by this point of Voyager. The Borg became diluted to the point of ridiculousness. They were zombie-walking clowns, not monsters! They were no longer scary. It is another sign that the writers were either no longer trying very hard, were tired, or they simply lacked the talent to do the business.
My first introduction to Trek was in 1994 when I caught a rerun of Arena. I was hooked on the franchise before I even knew my mom was a Trekkie. For the next seven years I grew up watching new episodes of Voyager and DS9 while watching reruns of TOS and TNG. For seven years I watched a lot of Trek. As a kid I probably favored TOS over TNG because it had a more action/adventure feel. Despite watching four different Trek show at the same time the setting of each one made me feel like I was watching something different. Maybe I was a little bit burned out when Enterprise was aired despite enjoy several episodes. I rediscovered Enterprise in 2005 and became a fan again.
DS9 and VOY are not really in the public consciousness anymore. Only Star Trek fans like us hold those two shows t heart. Even TNG is somewhat past it now. Sales of the blurays for TNG are rumored to have been disappointing. Shame.
I think its going to take them thinking they can make money off higher incensing fees for remastered HD DS9 for them to bother doing it. Hopefully they do. And sell the Blu Rays at a better price point and you will sell a lot.
They really missed the mark on the Maquis crew. There should have been more conflict leading to the merging. They only briefly touched on it. More conflict between Chakotay (and why Janeway trusted him) and Tuvok, who got passed over for a Maquis Commander, for example.
I felt like Paris, Kim, and Chakotay were written to be very milquetoast to avoid clashing with the female characters. But it was totally unnecessary. You can absolutely have both strong male AND female characters. Look at the reboot Battlestar Galactica.
Honestly I never even saw the TOS remastereds until I joined up for Netflix and frankly was surprised to see it there. You would think CBS would just let Netflix have the old versions and then save those for actual Blu Ray buyers as kind of a bonus. This is exactly why DVDs are dying now. There is no reason for me to buy those when I get the updated HD version on Netflix and can watch them any time now. And I really like it. It feels updated but same time still fits in the time period of the show.
Star Trek is an American science fiction media franchise that started with a television series (simply called Star Trek but now referred to as Star Trek: The Original Series) created by Gene Roddenberry. The series was first broadcast from 1966 to 1969 on NBC. Since then, the Star Trek canon has expanded to include many other series, a film franchise, and other media.
NBC canceled the series after three seasons; the last original episode aired on June 3, 1969.[27] A petition near the end of the second season to save the series signed by many Caltech students and its multiple Hugo nominations would indicate that despite low Nielsen ratings, it was highly popular with science fiction fans and engineering students.[28] The series later became popular in reruns and found a cult following.[24] In the 2000s, the series was remastered for television, which included special-effect changes including CGI versions of the ships.[29]
Star Trek, later marketed as Star Trek: The Animated Series (TAS) to differentiate it from the live-action series, was produced by Filmation, and ran for two seasons from 1973 to 1974. Most of the original cast performed the voices of their characters from The Original Series, and some of the writers who worked on The Original Series returned, including D. C. Fontana, David Gerrold and Paul Schneider. While the animated format allowed the producers to create more exotic alien landscapes and life forms, animation errors and liberal reuse of shots and musical cues have tarnished the series' reputation.[30] Although it was originally sanctioned by Paramount, which owned the Star Trek franchise following its acquisition of Desilu in 1967, Gene Roddenberry often spoke of TAS as non-canon.[31] As of June 2007[update], it has references in the library section of the official Star Trek website.[32]
The Animated Series won Star Trek's first Emmy Award on May 15, 1975.[citation needed] The Animated Series briefly returned to television in the mid-1980s on the children's cable network Nickelodeon. Nickelodeon parent Viacom would purchase Paramount in 1994; in the early 1990s, the Sci-Fi Channel also began rerunning TAS. The complete series was also released on Laserdisc format during the 1980s.[33] The complete series was first released in the United States on eleven volumes of VHS tapes in 1989. All 22 episodes were released on DVD in 2006.
The series begins in the aftermath of the brutal occupation of the planet Bajor by the imperialistic Cardassians. The liberated Bajoran people ask the United Federation of Planets to help run a Cardassian-built space station, Deep Space Nine, near Bajor. After the Federation takes control of the station, the protagonists of the series discover a uniquely stable wormhole that provides immediate access to the distant Gamma Quadrant making Bajor and the station one of the most strategically important locations in the galaxy.[37] The series chronicles the adventures of the station's crew, led by Commander (later Captain) Benjamin Sisko, played by Avery Brooks, and Major (later Colonel) Kira Nerys, played by Nana Visitor. Recurring plot elements include the repercussions of the Cardassian occupation of Bajor, Sisko's role as a figure in Bajoran religious prophecy, and in later seasons a war with an empire from the Gamma Quadrant known as the Dominion.
