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

 Well worth it. December 21, 2008

Having been a fan of the Star trek universe for years I found this second season of Deep Space Nine vary satisfying. Truly a collector's item.

Good bang for your buck. I'm partial to DS9. This season lays the seeds for large parts of the rest of the series.
The Season where DS9 came into its own August 14, 2008

This season was even better than the first, and really gets the ball rolling in the direction it heads for the rest of the series. You can really tell the actors are really getting in tune with their characters in this season, and the story lines help them get there.
Make sure you check all of your DVDs before the return/exchange deadline, my first set was defective on the very last disc, but my second copy runs excellent. I'm confident the glitch was a fluke, but it never hurts to check!
What can I say? It's Star Trek! May 28, 2008
J. Lewis (Northern Mississippi)
One of my favorite of the Star Trek shows. They took a chance and got away from the "life in paradise" ideal that was reflected in previous series. Characters on Deep Space Nine were flawed and imperfect...in other words, human! We could relate to them, even the "bad" ones like Quark. In the first season, we basically got to know all our new "friends". Now into the second season, introductions are over and it's time to get to work.

Gummy Lions (non tax free NYC)
It's been about 10 yrs since I've last watched DS9. Season two was very insightful as it was building up to the Jem'Haddar war with the Federation. Many people feel the first two season weak, after watching this again, I have to disagree, it was not weak, just not as intensive or as story line driven.
Great watch for DS9 fans.
