Review(s): DVD Star Trek Deep Space Nine - The Complete Seasons 1-7
Wonderful series, terrible video
Deep Space 9 is by far my favorite Star Trek series. I didn't buy the 7 seasons all at once, but over a period of several months and I'm delighted to have these episodes at my fingertips. The show is just AWESOME! What a wonderful, believable collection of characters it has, and the story arcs they've written are gripping to say the least! This is grittier stuff than we're accustomed to seeing in Star Trek, and it comes off very well.
The huge disappointment with this set comes with the quality of the video. I tried watching these on my high definition television and it looked TERRIBLE! I don't have the vocabulary to describe how it looked, but I found it to be nearly unwatchable. They look great on my 25 inch tabletop in my office though, so at least I can watch them.
HAAAAA
sweet show, but i can buy a busload'a punkins for 700 bux.
HAAAAA! 700 bux is funny.
HAAAAA!
DS 9 - GREAT Entertainment!
DS 9 is 7 seasons of top-notch entertainment, showing us what could be, should be, and maybe actually will be. As a part of the Star Trek legacy, DS 9 is another filler in the gap between fact and fantasy. Great watching!

After Star Wars and the successful big-screen Star Trek adventures, it's perhaps not so surprising that Gene Roddenberry managed to convince purse string-wielding studio heads in the 1980s that a Next Generation would be both possible and profitable. But the political climate had changed considerably since the 1960s, the Cold War had wound down, and we were now living in the Age of Greed. To be successful a second time, Star Trek had to change too.
A writer's guide was composed with which to sell and define where the Trek universe was in the 24th Century. The United Federation of Planets was a more appealing ideology to an America keen to see where the Reagan/Gorbachev faceoff was taking them.

Since the reviewer before me talked about pricing, I will too.
I love Star Trek. My favorite series was TNG (have the whole thing on DVD) but I still loved Voyager. As a result I have had this complete set on my Amazon Wish List for some time now, but, still being in school, haven't been able to afford the set due to constant college expenses.
Anyway, when I first put the set on my list I recall Amazon had it listed at about $485, and I thought $69 a season was pretty good compared to the $100 I paid for each of my TNG ones. Then, a few months later, to my dismay, Amazon jumped the price up to $607. $86 a season. Fine, I'll still take it.
But now, $809?! $115 a season? I find that funny, because it would only be $753.93 total if you were to... More Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 21 December 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours

The facts have become legend. Star Trek, the NBC series that premiered on September 8, 1966, has become a touchstone of international popular culture. It struggled through three seasons that included cancellation and last-minute revival, and turned its creator, Gene Roddenberry, into the progenitor of an intergalactic phenomenon. Eventually expanding to encompass five separate TV series, an ongoing slate of feature films, and a fan base larger than the population of many third-world countries, the Star Trek universe began not with a Big Bang but with a cautious experiment in network TV programming. Even before its premiere episode ("The Man Trap") was aired, Star Trek had struggled to attain warp-drive velocity, barely making it into the fall '66 NBC lineup.

Under intense scrutiny, the debut season of Enterprise earned a passing grade from critics and Star Trek fans alike. Voyager ended its seven-season run just four months earlier, and fans were skeptical when Enterprise premiered (on Sept. 26, 2001, on UPN) with a theme song ("Where My Heart Will Take Me," composed by Diane Warren and performed by Russell Watson) that defied Trek's revered theme-music tradition. This and other early reservations were dispelled when "Broken Bow" got the series off to a satisfying start, beginning in the year 2151 and establishing a pre-Federation focus on humanity's delicate relationship with the Vulcans, the controversial launch of the NX-01 Enterprise on an exploratory mission, and the potentially devastating...

With Captain Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula) trapped in the 31st century, season 2 of Enterprise opens with a rousing resolution to season 1's cliffhanger finale. The first four episodes instantly became fan favorites: "Shockwave, Part II" advances the Suliban's role in the Temporal Cold War; "Carbon Creek" reveals the real first contact (albeit a secret one) between humans and Vulcans in Pennsylvania in 1957, allowing Jolene Blalock to play T'Pol's "second foremother" in a Sputnik-era scenario; in "Minefield," Reed (Dominick Keating) is nearly killed by an explosive device attached to Enterprise's hull; the damage is repaired in "Dead Stop," featuring award-winning digital modeling effects as the disabled Enterprise encounters a mysterious automated space...
