Star Trek - D.S.9

Starts Monday from the beginning (season 1) @ 8pm on Freeview Channel 64 here, I think they call it CBS action.

Anyone else going to be watching?

I haven't seen it before so, I'm going to try and watch as much as possible, especially if it's good.

I'll be dipping in and out, as I already have DS9 on DVD. Hoping they remaster them for bluray, like they've done with TNG, which I still have to get, but not at £160.

I won't spoil it for you, but it really takes off from series 3 onward and a lot of the stories beat even TNG.

Dammit. Monday nights I'm cheer-leading.

How is everyone getting on with DS9?

Now they are up to series 6, I can tell you that it really takes off from here on in.

I was forced to somewhat abandon DS9 due to the corruption of the powers _ _ . However it was not a giant loss as the first 1-2 whatever seasons I saw were ... how shall we put it ... odd and confuddled to say the least, and apparently more about "comedy" than any sort of realism or thought-provoking elements.

That said, there was something to it that begun to be interesting but as I say, I had to abandon for now.

I will however endeavour to try watch / or record season 6 if you believe it to be better.

Series 6 is much better than the previous series'. Far Beyond the Stars is coming up soon, very good episode, dealing with race in 50's America.

The Dominion war really hots up too.

I will say this, the very last episode of DS9 is a bit of a let down, effects wise, as they reuse footage from Sacrifice of Angels, also coming up which if you like big fleet battles, is a good one to watch.

Well, I must say it did not get off to a good start. The first episode I saw 'happened to have a lot of questionable material in it. So had to turn it off.

Hopefully the next episode will be better.

So, what did you all think of the Defiant getting destroyed?

This is the ending arc of the series as it ends next Friday.
