Only Kira Nerys would risk going to war over an earring. With the witty and wise second-season opener "The Homecoming," the writers started taking chances with the direction of Deep Space Nine--and the payoffs are immediate and far-reaching. It's the first episode in a complex trilogy involving the fate of the tenuous Bajoran Provisional Government, an extremist group called the Circle, and a legendary member of the resistance whom Sisko believes might be able to unite Bajor.
Continuing its blend of action, mystery, intergalactic politics, and religion, the second season gave prominent parts to Jadzia Dax ("Invasive Procedures," "Playing God," "Blood Oath"), Kira Nerys ("The Collaborator," in which Odo gives the first sign of his feelings toward her), the Cardassian Garak ("Cardassians"), Odo ("The Alternate"), Chief O'Brien ("Whispers," "Tribunal"), Commander Sisko ("Paradise"), and Quark ("Profit and Loss"), and Dr. Bashir developed relationships with both O'Brien ("Armageddon Game") and Garak ("The Wire").
Highlight episodes include the alternate-universe "Crossover," which pays homage to the original series' "Mirror, Mirror," and the two-part spotlight on the Maquis (first introduced in The Next Generation), a loose-knit organization of disenfranchised Federation colonists who resort to terrorist methods to provoke a new war between the Federation and the Cardassians. By the end of season 2, the only thing DS9 lacked was a really good villain. It got three for the price of one. Turns out the Dominion (first discovered in the underappreciated Ferengi spotlight "Rules of Acquisition") is a trinity of evil: the Founders, the Vorta, and the Jem'Hadar, those born-and-bred bad guys whose mission in life is to serve the Founders. The season-closer "The Jem'Hadar" is an intelligent, powerful episode that reveals all--and nothing--about the Dominion. --Kayla Rigney
Star Trek Deep Space Nine - The Complete Second Season Review
In my mind I pair Seasons One and Two and then Seasons Three through Seven. I enjoyed both the first two seasons and both are thoroughly enjoyable. The series got a whole lot better after these two seasons, but that isn't at all to suggest that these are not good. They are and had the next five seasons been only as good as these first two it would have gone down as a very good series, but it was the final seasons that really put the series on the TV SF map and made it, in my opinion, the best of the STAR TREK franchise.
Although it did not develop yet the story arcs that would dominate the show in future seasons, the show nonetheless improved through a deepening of character development and a number of fascinating episodes. There are a lot of people who feel that the nineties was the finest decade ever for TV SF (and based on sheer numbers I think that may be true, if you include FARSCAPE, which started in 1999, and such non-space SF shows like THE X-FILES). Certainly among the top SF series of the nineties, DS9 is near the top. While this decade has seen some great SF -- in particular BATTLESTAR GALACTICA -- one can only hope that we will someday see the sheer quantity that we saw with DS9, FARSCAPE, BABYLON 5, ST:THE NEXT GENERATION, SPACE: ABOVE AND BEYOND, STAGATE SG-1, STAR TREK VOYAGER, THE X-FILES, EARTH 2, and ROSWELL. There has been a great deal of SF in this decade, but most of it has been of the non-outer space kind. Unfortunately, with the towering exception of BSG, too much of the outer space SF has either been merely a carry over of nineties shows, spin offs of those shows, tragically cancelled way too soon (FIREFLY), or of unbelievably low quality (how did ANDROMEDA last so long?). Wouldn't it be wonderful to see a new space opera on TV? I'm loving STARGATE UNIVERSE, but it is a spin off. I'd really love to see something something entirely original. AMC is exploring the possibility of a TV adaptation of Kim Stanley Robinson's great Mars Trilogy. As it stand right now, however, the only space opera is STARGATE UNIVERSE. CAPRICA looks like it will be a splendid BSG prequel, but it isn't clear that it isn't going to have any outer space elements at all.
After watching the first two seasons I've moved right into Season Three. As good as the first two seasons are, it really gets better once, as they say, the plot thickens. Frankly, I had forgotten how good this was. It is always great when you remember something as being good, but when you rewatch it, you discover that it is even better than you remembered.
