Star Trek: Deep Space Nine DVD Details Announced

l0key432 writes "The first season of Deep Space Nine will be released on DVD in late-February next year in the form of a six-disc box set, Paramount Home Entertainment officially announced on StarTrek.com. The DVDs will contain, of course, all of the season one episodes, newly remixed Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround and many extras. The following six seasons will be released one or two months apart from each other, as the Next Generation box sets were. Good to see this show finally coming out on DVD and getting some of the recognition it truly deserves."

Pricing?

[l33t-gu3lph1t3]

Are we going to be victimized on the price of this series just like when STNG came out on DVD?

First season has been available individually

I believe the first season has been out on DVD for some time now. I rememeber when I moved from NY to RI the local stations did not have it so I looked into purchasing the series on DVD and they only had the first season. To add salt in the wound, there were only one/two episodes per disc and they were 19.95 per disc. No set. I fgured it would probably cost upwards of $2K for the whole series at that rate (if it had been available). What a rip off that was. Someone there was greedy. Glad to see they are finally releasing it in a more sane config.

I think you are confusing this with the release of Star Trek The Original Series...

DS9 has never been released on DVD...

Recognition?

Is this so much about recognition as it is about money? Too many people have this perception that when releasing old stuff on DVD, the producers deserve some credit - like they're doing us a favour. Trust me, I'm sure Paramount would love to snag a few million more to add to their pocketbooks.

Don't get me wrong, I love DS9 though.

Here is the info from the star trek website:

Star Trek fans wondering what to do with life once all seven seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation on DVD have been released come December can take heart: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine on DVD is following right behind.

Season 1 of DS9 on DVD Paramount Home Entertainment has announced that the entire series of DS9, plus a Gamma Quadrant's worth of special extras, will be issued on DVD in 2003 with Season One due on February 25th.

Season One of DS9 on DVD will come in a six-disc collector's box set containing, naturally, all of the Season One episodes, along with new, never before seen featurettes. New seasons of DS9 will be available every other month.

The DS9 DVD's feature newly remixed Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround and exclusive retrospective featurettes. Fans who pick up the TNG Seasons Six and Seven will be able to get a peek at the upcoming DS9 DVD's, as special trailers have been added to the TNG sets.

Season 1 of DS9 on DVDThe DS9 DVD Contents are as follows:

Disc 1: "Emissary," "Past Prologue," "A Man Alone"

Disc 2: "Babel," "Captive Pursuit," "Q-Less," "Dax"

Disc 3: "The Passenger," "Move Along Home," "The Nagus," "Vortex"

Disc 4: "Battle Lines," "The Storyteller," "Progress," "If Wishes Were Horses"

Disc 5: "The Forsaken," "Dramatis Personae," "Duet," "In the Hands of the Prophets"

Disc 6: Special Features, including the feature Deep Space Nine: A Bold Beginning, Crew Dossier: Kira Nerys, Michael Westmore's Aliens: Season One, Secrets of Quark's Bar, Alien Artifacts: Season One, Deep Space Nine Sketchbook, Deep Space Nine Chronicles, Section 31 Hidden Files and a Photo Gallery.

So DS9 fans should take January to clear off more shelf space, because on February 25, the wormhole opens.

Have you never seen DS9?

Deepsace nine had the most intense battle scenes ever in any tv show. Those big war scenes with those crazy camera angles was awesome!

One thing that I loved was when they simulated a camera being attached to the hull of the defiant. That looked really awesome when they were flying in circles and shooting people.

You are right that the first few seasons were like a soap opera but every few episodes it got to be more then that. I suggest you watch the last 3 seasons of DS9, you'll realize its one of the best sci-fi shows ever.

And it was Guinan who introduced him to it - first time Worf ordered a prune juice from Quark, Quark merely looked weird (and probably made some forgettable remark)

To be fair, much of the lack of longer plot arcs was Paramount's meddling. The best and prime example being the start of the 5th(?) season with the war with the Klingons. What was supposed to be a 10 episode long arc got crushed to a single episode thanks to the suits at Paramount.
