Movie Reviews of Star Trek Deep Space Nine - The Complete Fourth Season
Movie Review: Great series
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have made it this far into this series let alone into the franchise you will understand every season has its exceptional episodes and its lackluster episodes and this one is no different. I have actually found episodes I have never seen and I thought that was impossible. I am no trekkie but as an engineer I love this series and have all of ST the next generation and am working to get all of ST DS9 and ST voyager.Movie Review: What Escapism.
Summary: 5 Stars
For an hour or three, you are lost in a world that has the Star Trek themes. Then you notice the writters have moved our problems into a different way of coping. There is always a plot twist to keep you on your toes. Gene Reddenberry would be proud, I hope. Enjoy the stars. Donna Pitcock Movie Review: DS9 - Season Four
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently finished watching Season 4 of DS9, which is also fun to watch again! For anyone new to watching DS9, I would recommend beginning with Episode One, Season One as the storyline continues to build from there. There are quite a few episodes, in Season 4, that are fun to re-watch, (i.e. "Body Parts"). Season 4's last episode, "Broken Link", leads into the first episode of Season 5, "Apocolypse Rising". I'm looking forward to seeing the remainder of the episodes!Movie Review: Deep Trek - Worf
Summary: 5 Stars
The Star Trek Collection is a worthy hobby and certainly the largest of the television series DVD Collections (The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise). At around 880 minutes, it is 4 episodes (1 Disc) less than TNG, and at least 2 Discs less than TOS. However in total, for the definitive, Star Trek collection, we are still looking at approx 30 boxes with 700 hours of viewing. That is 1 month of non-stop Star Trek. No DVD series comes remotely close to that. Get going collecting right now and build up on each succession over the years. By the end you will have a very serious anthology that defines the word awe. This is the kind of item that requires 1 hour a day of your time for the next few years. It is a cherished memory that served your fathers and will serve your children also. Our very planet, Earth, has advanced because of Gene Roddenberry's admirable concept. Roddenberry nailed the premise of the series when he said that he wanted to create a show with characters that we could look up too. They are like our family. Watch what they do. Then go and spend your life striving for the same on Earth. What engineer, medic, scientist, teacher, worker can not say that Star Trek has not influenced them? The show is this significant in the development of our species. Parents respect and quote its authority and it is not hard to see why. The DVD case may be the best of the lot. The shadowy design is foreboding of a darker trek inside. The case opens to reveal the 6 discs and a collectors' DVD-ROM of a section of a model graphic of DS9 (collect all complete the computer model). The discs are held in an open (no cardboard covering) plastic flip holder like in the TOS seasons. However these collectors' boxes are being replaced by the new slim line boxes that are cheaper. These are simply a cardboard holder with four to five slim DVD case holders with 1 to 2 discs in each holder (The slim line boxes do not contain the special collectors' DVD-ROM). There are 4 episodes per disc. However the last disc, disc 6 is devoted to Star Trek interviews and trailers with the usual expected extras...and then some more. Often the bonus disc may contain the last episode or two of the season, so watch out for those. Sometimes the episodes are ordered not in the sequence they where filmed, but in the sequence that they aired, however each episode has been numbered according to the order they where filmed in. This means on one disc you have shows 4, 2, 12 and 1, in that order. The sound has also been remastered to 5:1 Dolby Digital! Since the show was shot in full frame, these dimensions are retained.
Star Trek, Deep Space Nine (DS9), Season four is mostly about Worf joining DS9, the collapse of Cardassia and the Klingons breaking the peace treaty.
The same crew is back but with the addition of Worf from The Next Generation. DS9 is commanded by Benjamin Sisko. Jake Sisko is his son. Odo is the station's metamorphosing police constable and a Bajoran operative. Doctor Bashir is the Starfleet doctor and Chief O'Brien is chief engineer. Quark is a Ferengi host who owns a casino and bar. Major Kira is Sisko's first in command, and a Bajoran. Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax is a Trill woman (and a long term friend of Sisko) assigned by Starfleet as technical advisor. Gul Dukat is a leading Cardassian. The Cardassian Garak has a more permanent role to play.
Season Four of DS9 is mostly about Worf, Klingon Empire, other dimensions, Hippocratic Oath, secret affairs, the rules of society, tactics, time travel, mythical artefacts, James Bond, changelings, coup, love, demotion, honour, union strikes, the emissary, court-martial, memory implants, alternative universes, Muse, crime, Jem'Hadar, disease, contracts and Odo's people.
Best episodes are The Way of the Warrior, Hippocratic Oath, The Sword of Kahless, The Quickening and Broken Link.
DS9 Season four is the best of the first four DS9 seasons. The series has matured enough to have a good direction, ripe experienced characters, a sense of something bigger looming, the Defiant means DS9 now has a Star Trek ship and the quality of storytelling has increased tenfold with this season. Nearly every episode is excellent. They have also injected a little more humour but also a lot of darkness. The CGI has improved a lot and there are more space battles than any previous Star Trek instalment. One of the new directions this season goes in is with Worf. The series did need other characters and taking on Worf was an excellent move. The end of season four moves deeper into the Dominions plan to conquer the Federation. Season five looks like it will be all out war for everybody.
**As a note this season is rated `15' in Europe because it contains some stronger scenes of violence than usual for Star Trek, so parents may want to view the episodes before letting younger children watch them.**
Movie Review: DEEP SPACE NINE
Summary: 5 Stars
THIS WHOLE SERIES IS ONE OF THE BEST SCI FI SERIES THAT HAS BEEN ON AND IT SURPASSES ANY OF THE "MOSTLY JUNK" THAT IS ON NOWADAYS. I WONDER WHERE ALL THE EXCELLENT WRITERS WENT TO?
