Big Trek fan..but didn't really follow DS9 after the second season. This documentary made me wish I had. it's also funny, comprehensive, and heartfelt in its own right. I wish there was a sequel...Until then, I might have to watch it again. DS9 and Trek fans will really enjoy this.

I was hoping it would be a retrospective on a good series. Part of it was, & that was fairly okay, right up until it got preachy & political. They spent too much time on recent events, instead of the on the series. Also, editing was wildly uneven and disjointed.

Really great inside perspectives for fans of DS9. It was really great to get some more time with my favorite Captain and some of my top characters in Star Trek shows and movies!

I was always a Trek fan since I was a kid. DS9 really spoke to me. The way the characters were developed really made it such a great show. It was good to see the gang together again. It was a really interesting way to get the audience involved in the documentary instead of just going over old stories. It really is a must see if you were a fan of the show.

A must-see for DS9 fans. They didn't get must fanfare during their run and it's never too late to show some love. Possibly one of the best-underarted SciFi shows around. Seeing the cast together is great!

The Ooh Tray

If Trekkies ever needed reminding that their thoughtless and thought terminating rejection of the so-called black sheep of the Trek family was imbecilic then and, in the age of Star Trek: Discovery, indefensible now, this is the time.

Despite blatantly targeting the fans that helped crowdsource it, the much loftier goal of contextualizing DS9 within the annals of sci-fi and television history is also met.

Rated: 7/10
