Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9)

[350125g0]

DS9 is my favourite Star Trek series! Some of my favourite moments:

- seeing Iggy Pop as an alien.
- Gul Dukat being one of the most complex and nuanced villains I've ever seen (he's my all time favourite.)
- O'Brien and Bashir's bromance.
- Garak and Bashir's much weirder bromance.
- "The Magnificent Ferengi" episode
- The staggering differences between Picard and Sisko, for instance how both men deal with Q. Picard seems to bang his head against the wall trying to figure out why Q does what he does, where Sisko is just not having any of his nonsense and just belts him across the face straight away. Q leaves DS9 alone after that.

I've forgotten. Were any of the later seasons filmed in widescreen HD? I've tried rewatching DS9, but it looks terrible on a 65" 4K screen.

I don't think so. It doesn't look particularly good on my 40 something inch, 15 year old TV.

Too bad. I really enjoyed it when it first aired.

It'd be nice if it could look great on today's TV's but it's still enjoyable.

no it is still square screen format. But it is still very good - I don’t have a 4K screen though.

With all the crap on TV, I'm not going to complain if it isn't in HD and/or modern format.

Somewhere online there's video of a big DS9 space battle that's remastered. Fills the whole screen and has higher resolution. I think it's part of the "what we left behind" documentary or some other behind the scenes thing. I remember watching it and they went to that scene and it didn't look as good. It looked like an amateur cgi job from today instead of professional TV special effects from the 90s.

The full documentary is available for free (with ads) on IMDb TV.

Yeah I've seen it. It's not a well made documentary but it's alright. There's some good stuff on the IMDb channel.

Well, I’m well into S7 and I must say that I appreciate Ezri Dax much more this time around.

I love Ezri's take on Klingons. What a silly species.

Ok, Rom is now Grand Nagus and Sisko & Kasidy are pregnant....

I just have the double episode finale to go.
