TV show reviews: Star Trek – Part 3
We watched the first episode of DS9 now that we’re done with TNG. My thoughts on the first eppy are as follows:
* Incredible acting with ALL of the cast EXCEPT for Avery Brooks (Sisko) and his now departed wife (character-wise). Those two could not be more emotionless. Their portrayals of grief, happiness, love, romance, and sadness were so forced it actually annoyed me to the point that I was mocking Sisko’s constant hand gestures, which as much as he tried, didn’t add any realness to his expressions. The other cast members really shined, even the minor ones.
* I like the comedic nature of Bashir, the humbleness of Dax, and the hardheaded Bajoran Kira (which had many similarities to Ro). Odo is still hard to read for me, I haven’t found any appeal to him yet other than his powers as a Changeling. His persona seemed extremely serious and detached in the first episode.
* The first episode wasn’t that captivating to me, except for some of the minor action. I was dying for it to be over, it was too drawn out and long.
Of course, these are my initial reactions to the first episode. My boyfriend swears that everyone loves Avery’s acting, but I do not and I hope that it improves or I will not be too thrilled with him being the main character. (I’m already missing Picard) I’m also sure people will say it will get better, and I’m sure it will… just my first experience wasn’t too great. I felt that way about TOS, and goes to show how I changed my mind towards the middle of the series.
Background on my Star Trek experience: I’ve seen the series in ST order for the first time. I’m not done yet! The ones I’ve seen are in this order – Enterprise, The Original Series, The Original Series Movies, The Next Generation, The Next Generation Movies, and the first episode of Deep Space Nine which is what this review is about solely. I will write more as I progress into the series.

Deep Space Nine
.Welcome to this website. Here you will be able to find suppliers of Deep Space Nine DVD and other DVDs thats you can add to your collection. With a wide variety of choices, Deep Space Nine DVD will keep you entertained for many hours, with some great viewing.
Deep Space Nine DVD has far exceeded all expectations and this is a fantastic movie to be seen on screen. It has been a spin off of the Star Trek series. However the Deep Space Nine DVD series is different from the other Star Trek series in several ways.
It is about a space station that is far from earth. It is darker because of the constant threats from attacks by aliens and this show has more non humans that any of the other shows. Some of these include a shapeshifter, a Bajoran, a Ferengi and a Trill. Generally the trials and tribulations of this crew remain similar to something like The Next Generation.
Personally I believe the technology used in this show is quite impressive. It was nominated for 28 Emmys, including several for its outstanding visual effects.
The Deep Space Nine DVD series featured an array of fantastic episodes including the series “Emissary” where the recently abandoned Cardassian space station Terok Norm, is taken over at the request of the Bajorians, by the Federation.
The previously reviewed Star Trek: The Next Generation Season Three, is inferior to Deep Space Nine DVD Season One. The colors that have been used are a vast improvement on previous movies, which enhances the overall viewing and enjoyment experience. It seems that Paramount now have the quality under control.
