Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
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

Rating:  - What can I say? It's Star Trek!
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.
Rating: - Better than I remembered
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.
Rating: - Fun For Trekkies!
I've been a Trekkie since 1966 and have enjoyed all the different versions of Star Trek! If I had to choose which version is my favorite, it would have to be Deep Space Nine. I already own and enjoy Season One, have obtained and continue to enjoy Season Two and I'm looking forward to obtaining Season Three.
Season Two continues to build on the foundation established in Season One and the last episode of Season Two is a cliff-hanger! Even though I know what is coming, I can't wait to watch it again!!!!!!!!
Rating:  - Another Great Season for DS9
My initial reaction to Season 2 of DS9 was, "When are we going get to the Dominion?" This can make one view Season 2 somewhat impatiently. When you sit back and just enjoy it for what it is, you might learn something. But what is it. Well, it starts off nicely with a three-parter concerning the recovery of a famous Bajoran freedom fighter Li Nalas (who seems bored as hell to be on the show, always seeming tired and crossing his arms) but there are rather interesting episodes that draw a clearer portrait of some of the many colorful characters on the show. Profit and Loss as well as the Rules of Acquisition help you understand Quark and Ferengi better, (not to mention Garak for the former) and The Wire (considered by Andrew Robinson to be his favorite episode) reveals more and confuses viewers about who Garak really was before Exile. Invasive Procedures and Blood Oath shed more light on Dax and Trills. Personally, I really liked Whispers which questions the nature of O'Brien's sanity. It was much better than Tribunal anyway. I was really touched by Odo's relationship with the little girl in Shadowplay which also features an amusing subplot about Kira, Bareil and Quark as well as father-son subplot in which Jake's future starts to take shape. Collaborator is well worth viewing as well. Melora, Rivals, Paradise and Playing God are not recommended.
Rating: - Deep Trek - Cardassians become friendly, the Jem'hader show themselves and echoes of the Dominion.
The Star Trek Collection is a worthy hobby and certainly the largest of the television series DVD Collections (The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise). At around 880 minutes, it is 4 episodes (1 Disc) less than TNG, and at least 2 Discs less than TOS. However in total, for the definitive, Star Trek collection, we are still looking at approx 30 boxes with 700 hours of viewing. That is 1 month of non-stop Star Trek. No DVD series comes remotely close to that. Get going collecting right now and build up on each succession over the years. By the end you will have a very serious anthology that defines the word awe. This is the kind of item that requires 1 hour a day of your time for the next few years. It is a cherished memory that served your fathers and will serve your children also. Our very planet, Earth, has advanced because of Gene Roddenberry's admirable concept. Roddenberry nailed the premise of the series when he said that he wanted to create a show with characters that we could look up too. `The Bridge' members are like our family. Watch what they do. Then go and spend your life striving for the same on Earth. What engineer, medic, scientist, teacher, worker can not say that Star Trek has not influenced them? The show is this significant in the development of our species. Even Christians respect and quote its authority and it is not hard to see why. The DVD case may be the best of the lot. The shadowy design is foreboding of a darker trek inside. The ... Read More
