Star Trek Deep Space 9: Season Five DVD 

The fifth season of Star Trek Deep Space 9 is now on DVD and paramount has wisely decided not to change the successful formula they have established and followed with the release of the first season of The Next Generation last year. 

Season 5 continues the ongoing story of the Dominion threat upon the Federation and the Alpha Quadrant and centers around a military buildup by the Dominion in the Cardassian system. The Cardassiasns have joined the Dominion forcing the Federation to the brink of war. The strong and versatile cast is given a lot to work with this year including Odo (Rene Auberjonois )having to deal with the loss of his shape shifting abilities and Quark (Armin Shimmerman) having to deal with the loss of his Ferengi business license that makes earning profit very difficult for the greedy bartender.

Episodes of note include "Trials and Tribbleations" that sends the crew to the time of the original Trek series as they interact with Kirk, Spock, and the rest of the characters from the classic "Trouble with Tribbles" episode. The very provoking "A Simple Transaction" that takes a look at the subject of weapons sales and the rousing finale "A Call To Arms" highlight this spectacular set. The overall quality of the episodes shine, as the acting, writing, and effects give a blance to the season. .The Season Five DVD set is a well-crafted set that in many ways surpasses the outstanding Next Generation series. Aside from the plethora of behind the scenes and making of segments, the series features the episodes in sparking color and sound and is a must for collectors.
