Darthorso MicioGatta Reply 7 years ago on Introduction. Tense and unwilling to take the easy route, "Duet" was an early hint at the future direction of the series. Season 2: Episode 23, "Crossover" The choice to bring back the Mirror Universe of the original Trek was one that could easily have backfired, but thanks to a quick-moving story—and the decision to turn one of the show's regular characters into a semi-dominatrix villainess in the alternate timeline—"Crossover" turned out to be successful enough to turn Mirror Universe episodes into a regular occurrence for the rest of the show's run.

Season 4: Episode 3, "The Visitor" An accident sends Sisko out of phase with his regular timeline, but instead of following him as he leaps into the future without any control, the episode sticks with his son as he comes to terms with becoming an orphan even though his father is still, technically, alive.

Sentimental in all the best ways, and more than a little touching as a result. Even more fun than the retro-parody is watching Bashir slowly realize that his friend Garak Andrew Robinson is a far better spy than he ever imagined. Kirk and thanks to some inventive camerawork and some faithful recreations of sets, costumes, and props of the time appear in the background of an episode of the original series.

It's silly, it's shameless fan-service, and it's amazingly fun. Season 5: Episode 26 and Season 6: Episodes , "Call to Arms," "A Time to Stand," "Rocks and Shoals," "Sons and Daughters," "Behind the Lines," "Favor the Bold," and "Sacrifice of Angels" A seven-episode sequence that bridges the end of the show's fifth year and the start of its sixth, war is declared throughout the galaxy as Sisko takes it upon himself to save the station from being overrun by a collective of aliens known as the Dominion Well, at least, he does to begin with.

The story took seven episodes, after all. Season 6: Episode 13, "Far Beyond the Stars" Probably the best episode of Deep Space Nine , and definitely the best example of the "What if all of the series is a hallucination and this is the truth? That he and his colleagues all look like the crew of Deep Space Nine isn't a coincidence.

Season 7: Episode 10, "It's Only a Paper Moon" In a series that centers around a man coming to terms with losing his wife as the result of an alien attack, it's surprising that its most clear commentary on post-traumatic stress comes in relation to another character altogether, but no less surprising than the fact that said commentary includes the presence of a faux Rat Pack-er in a virtual Las Vegas from the middle of the 20th century.

Deep Space Nine didn't always take the obvious route, as you might be realizing by now. Season 7: Episode 25, "What You Leave Behind" Everything from the past seven years comes to a head in a series finale that brings the show to a satisfying close, if not necessarily a happy ending. Be warned. Ronald D. As a result, it's able to pull strengths from both, while having an appeal all of its own. Much of the show's DNA is true to the more cerebral, philosophical elements of earlier Treks , but there's also an embrace of ideas and concepts that the franchise had previously shied away from—including spirituality, race, and Starfleet being a quasi-military organization.

Thinking of it as the "dark side" of Star Trek is too reductive—not least because it's a show that flirts with darkness but purposefully doesn't embrace it—but maybe "the Star Trek that's not uncomfortable feeling weird" would fit, instead.
