Symptomatic of the unwillingness to let DS9 go was the immediate arrival of a replacement Dax, though poor Nichole deBoer as Ezri Dax had to have known she'd already missed the boat. Her appearance encouraged last-minute romances to blossom, with Bashir finally getting some action, Odo finally getting together with Kira, and Sisko finally proposing to Kassidy. Another contributing cute factor were numerous trips to the holosuite wherein the all-knowing Vic Fontaine dished out philosophical advice. That was when the crew wasn't in there to play baseball against the Vulcans, or when Nog wasn't commiserating about the loss of a leg. Oh yes, and don't forget the War! There was an early announcement that the show would attempt a 10-part resolution to the Dominion War, but viewers could be forgiven for forgetting all about it with so much sentimental distraction. When the horrors of war did resurface, they at least injected a few surprises into the mix. Odo and his ambiguously "evil" Founders were hit with a melting disease, prompting a backstabbing race for the power of developing and owning a cure. The original baddie Cardassians finally settled on the Federation's side. Contrary to these interesting twists, however, were the unexpected turns taken by matters relating to Sisko's spiritual destiny. Suddenly the mystery of the wormhole and an entire religious belief system was reduced to the problem of correctly translating the words of a sacred book. The struggle to join with some evil aliens significantly diluted the attempt at resolving what had begun seven years before in the show's pilot episode. Ultimately, Sisko's destiny, as with all those who'd followed him to the open-ended climax, was to be decided elsewhere. In a move that was either bold and daring--or possibly born of desperation for not having thought things through properly--the show's storylines were to be continued in a series of spin-off books. --Paul Tonks Description: Episodes: Image in the Sand, Shadows and Symbols, Afterimage, Take Me Out to the Holosuite, Chrysalis, Treachery Faith and the Great River, Once More Unto the Breach, The Siege of AR-558, Covenant, It's Only a Paper Moon, Prodigal Daughter, The Emperor's New Cloak, Field of Fire, Chimera, Badda-Bing Badda-Bang, Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges, Penumbra, 'Til Death Do Us Part, Strange Bedfellows, The Changing Face of Evil, When It Rains..., Tacking Into the Wind, Extreme Measures, The Dogs of War, What You Leave Behind Parts I and II. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A fitting end.Warning: spoilers included. In the final season of DS9, the series cultinates with a deeper understanding of the Prophets (Wormhole Aliens) and their relationship with Captain Benjamin Lafayette Sisko (The Emissary). The final resolution of the Dominion War, Odo's return to the Founders, Garak's bittersweet homecoming, and the end of Doctor Bashir's dangerous association with the enigmatic Section 31, bring so many loose ends to stunning conclusions. The introduction of Nicole DeBoer ... Read More Rating:  - Some problems, but still rates a "don't miss"Many excellent episodes helped give the generally excellent "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" series a classy, memorable send off in this, its final season. A few flies in the ointment bothered me, however: why was such valuable real estate as the next-to-last DS9 episode EVER given over to a marginal "funny Ferengi" story? And the long, drawn-out, wearying Dominion War ends abruptly in the last episode, hinging on a plot point or two that, in previous seasons, would have resulted in, at best, minor ground ... Read More Rating:  - There's Just No ExcuseOK. I'm a huge StarTrek nerd, and DS9 is my favorite StarTrek series. That said, this final season is such a huge disappointment. The ingrates, that's right ingrates, running the Trek franchise just completely nose-dived this series into the ground. Why ingrates? Well, the producers took the expansive loyalty and enthusiastic good-will of StarTrek fans and exploited it in an attempt to gratify their own outsized egos. Where to begin? How about Ezri Dax for starters. one question. WTF were you ... Read More Rating: - The last season truly completes the seriesI love this show. I wish I had watched it while it was on, but I didn't, and found it thanks to the wonder that is DVD. Now that I've gotten to the end, so many different stories were completed, and brought to a great closing. The lasy half of the season is basically one long episode. Which I needed, because their were a few episodes I wasn't that thrilled with. All mainly because the new dax was featured so much. Though I wasn't thrilled with her to begin with, she did grow on me. Regardless, this show ...
