One of the absolute best tributes I've seen to what whas absolutely the best Star Trek series. Excellently done! It really captures what it was that made DS9 so special.
Excellent montage video. Star Trek DS9 was so much more than epic the epic battles between fleets of starships. It was the richness and depths of all its characters (regular and recurring) that made it stand out from the rest. It really took Star Trek where no Star Trek went before.
you;ve heard this many times__> but truly. this was amazing, wonderful, beautiful..... just made me so happy. I am very very very very pleased with this. Thank you. Thank you so much. :-)
Wow, superb job RicharD! Hat tip from a lifelong Trekker mate!
Watching this just makes me feel nostalgic for those days between 1990 and 2000 where awesome Star Trek shows like these were made! Man I miss those countless hours waiting for star trek shows on Tv just like I used to back when I was a child with the original.
I love this video so much that I am going to watch this video every day to start the day. It captures not only the spirit of DS9 but the sense of the future and the sense of possibilities about what's to come, the essence of the Star Trek. Great orchestral music too, very very nice. Thanks for making this video, it makes me very happy to watch this. I soo love Deep Space Nine and the spirit it represents. It's an overly underrated series that is far superior to the recent film or to BS galactica
Very well done. I would have enjoyed the theme song from the later seasons. I just like that one better. But overall, very well done. Thanks for your hard work.
I really loved the show from the first moment I watched it - back in 1993 ;) Over the years it just got better & better with a great story arc, rich characters, deep relationships (Odo/Kira; Benjamin/Jake; O'Brien/ Bashir...); awesome scripts & a worthy end that left no eye dry!
That was a great series to grow up with! Thanks again for the awesome tribute of my favorite series until today! You brought some good memories back! ;D
I just finished the series the other day for the first time ... this is a very nice vid package to honor them. One of the best parts of the series for me was the romance between Odo and Kira. You couldn't find two people who ever loved each other more.
To me, there has not been a better Deep Space Nine video compiled. May I borrow part of your compilation for a video I am making? I will give credit to you. I love your editing! You told just about the entire story of Deep Space Nine in the time it takes for my favorite version of the musical theme to play! I miss Ds9. I need to buy it on DVD.
Hi, glad you like it. I hoped to capture the emotional feel of the series more than just a story. If you like, I can try to look up the original version (better quality) and send it to you. Just write ;)
DS9 had many great episodes, and even the cheesy ones were usually fun a la the Original Series. There were only a couple turkeys. Man I miss this show. Great writing and a great cast of actors, plus top notch effects work and production values.
I used to love watching voyage when i was a kid and then got into the next generation when i was older and then watched enterprise when that started but i agree with some people that deep space nine came out way to early for its time not many people watched it because there was no dominion war movie and the effects were not as good but now i think it is my fav and alot more people watch it now than years ago
i can not really watch the orginall star trek because the effects are to old
ds9 was nice, but i like enterprise with archer more, and also i like the new movie. think it is a question of taste, said the french and bite the frog ;-)
I love DS9. Its Star Trek but not from the traditional sense where your in a new adventure every episode, were you don't fully get to know the charters or setting's. In this series you do. I have enjoyed it alot and would love to see a movie or somthing of Deep Space Nine. Great show all round!
Agreeed, 10x over.... I'm going to see the new Star Trek movie tomorrow in IMAX, but i know it wont have any of DS9's traits... The deep story arcs, character development and depth that no other Trek series dared to portray.
DS9, the boldest, truest, deepest and most meaningful of all the Trek shows IMO.
The characters in TOS and TNG had character developement and depth to them too. Don't get me wrong I like DS9 too but I think you could argue that long story arcs could be a problem to say a casual viewer who doesn't have the time to watch a whole long story arc in fact that's what some non-fans have a problem with trek that it's requires you to know so much about it in order to get what's going on, some prefer it a bit simpler and that might be why DS9 isn't as well known as TOS and TNG.
Yeah you have a valid point. But i think DS9's story arcs were both it's biggest strength and weakness. In some ways the story arc tied down the characters and progresson of the show and really cut out the exploration.
But at the same time DS9 was a thoroughly enjoyable story for me from beginning to end. And i must admit i felt "closest" to the DS9 characters at the end, over other Trek characters.
And long story arcs seem to be the trend these days in Sci Fi, with shows like BSG for example
DS9 was epic. There is such a following for DS9 in it's own right..... It's a love it or hate it kind of thing. Some Trek fans says it's the worst because of it's long story arcs and all that... But others (like me) say it was the best for that very reason. It was so much more in depth.
I absolutely love DS9 watched it at least twice. The best TV show I have ever seen. Much better than all the rest of Star trek. I like TNG as well but DS9 was more realistic. More elaborate. Simply unforgettable.
DS9 in my opinion was really only half a trek show because while it had moral issues in it like other trek shows it didn't have the characters going through deep personal experiences as much as the characters from TOS and TNG did which is something I think that pretty much defines in part of what trek is about. The only episode of DS9 I can think of that would qualify as this would be "The visitor."
Also while I like episodes like "far beyond the stars" you can't call it's message subtle since it clearly states what it is so you don't have to think about it that much. TOS had social commentary in some episodes that was more subtle and allowed you to think more about it's message.
The people that complain about the show probably saw bits of the first and second season and then formulated an opinion. Season 1 and 2 were slower, still well written...but not much happens. From beginning to end, this show probably changed more than any other series. Let them see seasons 4-7 and then try to talk crap about it. The dominion war is epic. Best TV ever.
i agree, people misjudge DS9 based on their 1st two seasons. although for me their slow start was actually a strength. It allowed you time to get to know the characters and visit some tried and true methods to star trek episodes before launching into a 5 year long intense war
also you needed thoe 1st two years as the were to develop just how powerful the dominion were, unlike voyager that had baddies of the week come and go without you at any time considering them a danger. i.e kazon, vidians
Season seven was actually disappointing I thought. Bits of it and certain episodes were good but I just didn't like the direction they went with dukat and how the finale ended with sisko leaving his wife like that.
Actually, we had entire Star Trek shown on Croatian TV from TOS to Enterprise, every single episode just few years back, something was already re-run, something premiered. And now we have it all over again.
For once someone made a DS9 tribute and didn't flood it with scenes from Sacrafice of Angels, this is what a damn tribute SHOULD BE, I say to all those idiots that are obsessed with making DS9 battle videos. Pay attention to this.
Wonderful job. One of the nicest DS9 compilations I've seen. Your English is also excellent. (If it isn't your second language as I assume from your Polish background and other videos than please disregard that unnecessary compliment.)
Where did you find the full 3-minute theme for this video? I haven't found anything longer than the nearly 2-minute opening theme.

Excellent work. Best DS9 video I've seen. Reminds me why it's the only Trek show I still go back to time and time again to watch and enjoy.
My only complaints are no Jake & Nog. Also no Garak, and no Morn.
I mean come on, we got Admiral Ross, Kai Opaka...we even got Martok's mother.
But joking aside...it's awesome. Thanks again!
