Summary: War time on DS9
Review: The war vs. the Dominion escalates with the near defeat of the Federation. Contains great episodes like "Far Beyond the Stars" in which Sisko has a vision of the past & he thinks its the present. Also watch the wedding of Dax & Worf.

Summary: The best Trek ever... volume 6!
Review: The wedding between Dax and Worf was the center piece for the sixth season. The subsequent dissolution of that relationship also made for an emotional ending for the year.The Founders and Cardassians would team to try and destroy the Federation, specifically the stronghold of DS9. And, they would not be denied. Quite possibly the strongest season of all. But the seventh year would give it a run for it's money.

Summary: The best of DS9!
Review: This is a must have season for DS9 fans! The two-parter "Favor the Bold" and "Sacrifice of Angels" are definately the best of the lot. Other good offerings include "You are Coordially Invited," "One Little Ship," "Valiant," and "Tears of the Prophets."

Summary: the shiz-nit
Review: This is it for fans on the fence- what you waited for. The ultimate in battle scenes and ruthless war maneuvers. The episode "In The Pale Moonlight" is a great example of the mastery that this show was capable of. Philosphically it's perfect, and morally wrong at the same time. Pretty nifty. Box 5 is a masterpiece as well, and 7 will be alright, but it doesn't get much better than this. GO GET NOW- because only the first few thousand have the bonus disk

Summary: Star Trek's Finest Hour Begins
Review: Unfortunately this was the beginning of the end of the Star Trek saga. The Dominion's ever escalating threat which became a menace in Season 5 and unleashed a massive galactic war, throws the Federation along with the DS9 crew into the heart of battle to take on the evil empire on the other side of the wormhole. The series, Star Trek's, and Sci Fi's finest hour would come full circle with the 6th episode "The Sacrifice of Angels" in which anything and everything imaginable to throw into 1 hour of television actually was. The season somewhat let viewers down with the death of Dax in the finale but throughout the season 6 run, viewers were given a golden treat namely "Far Beyond the Stars", which was a groundbreaking brilliant episode.
DS9, considered the ba*tard child of Trek mythology never has yet gotten the chance to prove itself on the bigscreen. However, Seasons 6 and 7 were dang close to a big screen adventure full of briliance all around that made this series the best Star Trek and SciFi series ever produced. The advice for any cruious person, see Season 1's pilot, Season 2's finale, and then all of Seasons 3 thru 7. Dont waste your time with seasons 1 and 2 since it was only about tired religion and political stories. With the Dominion threat thrown in at the end of Season 2, STDS9 began its reign as the king of SCI FI.

Summary: DS9 Season Six-...The Best season Hands Down!
Review: Watching DS9's sixth season,you come to realise that it's far removed from the premise of a darker edgier Trek of the first two seasons ,only to emerged as the greatest Trek show of all time.
The writing had become more ambitious than any other latter day Trek Series(TNG,VOY,ENT),and it was only the penultimate season. The six-part Dominion War Arc(including classic episodes A Time To Stand,Rocks & Shoals,The Sacrifice Of Angels) showed the producers going for broke as well as establishing DS9 as a show that's not afraid to take chances.
The best season six episodes are too many to list(....Cordially Invited...,Waltz,Far Beyond The Stars,Inquisition,His Way,Reckoning,The Valient),but it's In The Pale Moonlight that is the highlight of the entire season(as well as my 3rd favorite episode behind season one's "Duet",and four's"The Way Of The Warrior")as Captain Sisko wrestles with his conscience as Garak helps him to dupe the Romulans into joining their efforts in the war.
The season ends on a dark tone with "Tears Of The Prophet" in which Jadzia Dax is killed by a Pah-Wraith possessed Dukat.Although the final season carried on with another Dax,it was a step down which season six staked it's claim as Star Trek's best ever show.

Summary: Beyond The Farthest Star And Back Again
Review: While most television series begin to show their age, as they enter their sixth season, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, continued to flourish. Following last season's final episode, when the Federation entered into a conflict with the Dominion and the Founders, taking over the station. As we open season six, the war, is in full swing. Producers took the bold step of kicking things off with six episode arc, that would really continue until the end of the series. This storyline is filled with some of the show's best action and drama. At the end of the opening arc lovers Worf (Michael Dorn) and Dax (Terry Farrell) decided to finally tie the knot in "You Are Cordially Invited..." Resurrection saw the return of a long lost love of Kira's (Nana Visitor). Captain Sisko (Avery Brooks) is put to the test "In The Pale Moonlight" Quark (Armin Shimmerman) and his fellow Ferengi get to see some action in the clever and fun Magnificent Ferengi. Dr. Bashir (Alexander Siddig) finds out that Starfleet has a special ops division when Section 31 agent Sloan (Guest Star William Sadler) recruits him. As good as all this stuff is though, the season also marks the start of appearances by James Darren, as holograpghic 60's style crooner, Vic Fontaine. At first this seems like it would be an odd way to go. But from "His Way" through to the series finale, Darren and the writers make it work. Fontaine sings and examines the human condition ala` Whoppi Goldberg on TNG. In the year's best episode, "Far Beyond The Stars" Sisko is trapped in a different time and place in a not so predictable show. Following in the tradition of year 4's The Visitor and season 5's Trials And Tribble-lations, this one will stay with you, long after you see it. The season ender, Tears of the Prophets, sees the death of a main character, at the hands of Sisko's sometime nemesis Gul Dukat (Marc Alaimo). The extras in the this 7 disc set are fairly similar to what's come in the other sets in the series. Far Beyond the Stars gets a more in-depth examination, as one of the most acclaimed episodes, in Star Trek history. We also get to visit cast and crew as they discuss the memorable Klingon wedding between Worf and Dax. The set offers not just one, but two crew Dossiers this time. Dr. Julian Bashir and Quark are given the once over. There's also a fine featurette on John Eaves, as the series veteran illustrator reveals fascinating details about ships, props, and other cool stuff. A photo gallery tops off the set's extras I know I must sound like a broken record by now. The sixth season continues the stellar trend of offering fine entertainment. Like most prevously released DS9 season sets, season six comes highly recommended.

Summary: Excellent Season, if a bit muddled.
Review: Yes, the series starts off extremely promising, with a 6-story arc that covers the Dominion War and the effort to regain Deep Space 9. However, once the station is re-taken, the series seems to fall back into the standard pattern of previous seasons. This is not altogether bad, but it does feel awkward. Yes, the war is still on in the background, but it grows more and more in the background throughout the middle of the season. Significant accomplishments are somehow forgotten or written away (take, for example, the elimination of the White replenishment facility). In reality, I feel that many of the stories are obvious attempts to catapult Deep Space 9 into the forefront of the then-burgeoning sci-fi field. That's not to say that these are not good stories; many of them are GREAT stories! But the competition was fierce: Babylon 5, Star Trek Voyager, and even the X-Files were there, seeking to be the best sci fi show on the market. Take, for example, the highly acclaimed "Far Beyond on the Stars." Watched as a single episode, it is quite good. But put in context of the competition of shows like Babylon 5, the show seems to take on a whole new meaning. Every time I see Sisko fall to his knees wailing after he is fired from the newspaper, I can almost hear the writers saying, "Why didn't you give us two Hugo awards? We had the black captain!!!" Babylon 5 won its first Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation in its second year with "The Coming of Shadows," beating Deep Space 9's "The Visitor." In 1997, Babylon 5 again won with "Severed Dreams." In a not-so-subtle way, I get the funny feeling that the writers of the show were actually attempting to persuade the Hugo people that if they did not give the award to Deep Space 9 in this season, they were probably racists...hmmmm...who can tell what they were attempting to really say... Anyway, apart from a handful of stories that feel a bit contrived, the season is solid. It also has a strong tear-jerking O'Brien/Keiko story in "Time's Orphan." No, it has nothing to do with the Dominion War, but I have always felt that the O'Brien/Keiko stories are particularly strong stand-alones. There is a real chemistry between the two actors (Rosalind Chao is an excellent actress), and each season seems to have one O'Brien family story that is particularly poignant. This season is definitely worth owning. With so many good characters in Deep Space 9, you find yourself wanting to know when you will see one of your favorite characters show up again. All in all, a sign of significant accomplishment.
