Summary: DS9 DVD: this trekker's dream
Review: Everyone settles into their characters nicely this season. Quark begins to shine more, Garek develops (but doesn't mature), Dax -is too painful to talk about in any season, Kira is less annoying -she got a lot better over the years, and everyone is somehow shadowed by Avery Brooks (Sisko). To this day, he is probably my favorite actor. After seeing him in an interview, I thought he might be controllably schizophrenic because he acted so crazy (yelling odd, non-rhyme poetry and barking at the host - making those around him look a little uncomfortable), but when he's acting it's as though he believes every word, thought and nuance of his performance. He is a stellar actor. They ALL are. Even O'Brien get's an episode here and there and pulls it off. That's what makes this show so solid, not a weak link in the chain. Production and writing through to performance. It's a great collection of stories for all ages.

Summary: Asian Versions cheaper for a reason...
Review: For DS9 lovers on a budget, the cheaper asian versions available on the used marketplace are enticing. They are indeed about half the price of the US version. I ordered the 2nd season this way and found it to be actually slightly inferior in quality for viewing, and markedly inferior in packaging even though it was bought new. Several episodes seemed to cut off the last few seconds to squeeze it on to the DVD, and we had tracking problems (slowww) and voice to action synching problems occaisionally. Mind you it got the job done, just not quite there for quality, which can be annoying. The packaging, really bad. The DVD's are stacked in a thin paperboard box with foam sheets between. The box and the DVD's have really bad airbrushed illustrations of something similar to the star's faces. Quite amusing, but not if you just paid for it. My advice is to buy a lightly used US version instead of a "new" Asian one if the money is an issue. I bought a used Season 1 US version and it was perfect, only a small scratch on the box. The DVD's were in perfect shape, and no cut off scenes!

Summary: The Story Continues
Review: Here we are then with DS9 series 2. If you saw the first, and were not that impressed, dont give up. DS9 has so much to offer the viewer. The first series had trouble finding its feet, but with each series it gets better and better. This series begins to introduce elements that will continue through to the conclusion of DS9. When you have finished with this DVD you will be gagging for season 3. The best trek, just got better.

Summary: The Story Continues,
Review: Here we are with DS9 season two. If you saw the first season, and were impressed, please check out this season. DS9 has so much to offer. Even though the first season was awesome, Other seasons got worse and worse. This season begins to introduce elements that will continue through to the conclusion of DS9. When you have finished with this DVD you will be begging for season 3, then after season 4 you will never want to watch Deep SPace Nine again.
The worst trek, just got even worse. a 7 disc set!!...

Summary: Check disk 3 carefully
Review: I got repeated errors on disk three of the Season 2 set, turned
the whole set in and got a replacement, and then got the same
repeated errors on disk three again! Either this is a tremendous
coincidence or the producer turned out a bad batch of DVD disks.
The others seem fine so far.

Summary: Support DS9
Review: I never realized just how many DS9 fans there were out there. I thought that I was alone amongst all the TNG fans. TNG was great, but DS9 had a life to it's own. It remained true to Trek, but brought new life with a whole new plot concept. The Galaxy got bigger, but the amount of distance needed to travel for a good storyline got shorter. If memory serves, I really got into the show when season 2 started to conclude. The Dominion was coming and that turned out incredible.
I'm looking forward to starting all over again with season one and then the rest as they come out. Do yourself a favor and buy these seasons. Support DS9. I know I will.

Summary: DS9 develops a lot in Season 2
Review: I should note that I am somewhat biased as I consider DS9 my favorite of the Trek franchise. It's great to see how the characters are developed in Season 2 and how comfortable the actors are in their roles. I especially like the development of Garak. The diverse range of stories ranging from the Maquis to a Klingon blood oath made for great stories, but the most interesting development was in the season finale with the introduction of the Jem Hadar.
I really enjoyed the extras, especially the crew dossier with Terry Farrel.
As a side note, I'm thankful for one of the reviews regarding the Asian import versions. I was sorely tempted to save a few $$$ and go with the imports, but am now glad that I paid for the US version!

Summary: Deep Space Nine is incredible!
Review: If you are a Star Trek fan, you will love Deep Space Nine ... maybe even more! Season Two was more exciting than Season One ... If that is actually possible! Absolutely know there will be no let down in Season Three. Of course I watched the series on TV, but to be able to see them over and over with the DVD's, who could ask for anything better?
