Synopsis: Commander Sisko and his son move to a station in orbit of Bajor for his new position. There appears to be more than a Starfleet assignment involved here, though.


Reaction: This is a fine first season. The show took a little while finding its own unique style, but this is a solid beginning.


Personal Rating: 7/10

Random Trivia For This Title:

  • Reportedly, Gene Roddenberry was made aware of plans for [DS9] not long before his death in 1991, making this the last [Star Trek] TV series that he was connected with.
  • Wolf 359, mentioned as the battle site where Sisko lost his wife, is a real star that is 7.6 light years from Earth.
  • Alexander Siddig was producer/creator Rick Berman's first choice to play Benjamin Sisko, but he was eventually deemed too young. Instead, he got the role of the genetically-enhanced Julian Bashir.
  • Edward Albert appears in the episode {Man Alone} as the Bajoran Zayra, while his wife, Katherine Woodville, had appeared in the [original series] episode {For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky} where her character fell in love with and briefly paired up with Doctor McCoy.
  • In the episode {Man Alone}, the planet Alderaan is listed as a recent place visited by a murder victim. Alderaan is the planet destroyed by the Death Star in Star Wars.
  • Dax was originally envisioned as an alien from a low-gravity world forced to get around in a wheelchair and who flew around her quarters; the concept was scrapped and recycled into the character of Melora because the "flight" cables were too difficult to rig.
