Despite the fact that Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ended over
twenty-five years ago, there has yet to be a stand-alone assessment
of the series. This collection corrects that omission, examining
what made Deep Space Nine so unique within the Star Trek universe,
and how that uniqueness paved the way for an altogether new,
entirely different vision for Star Trek. If the Star Trek slogan
has always been "to boldly go where no one has gone before," then
Deep Space Nine helped to bring in a new renaissance of serialized
television that has become normal practice. Furthermore, Deep Space
Nine ushered in critical discussions on race, gender, and faith for
the franchise, science fiction television and American lives. It
relished in a vast cast of supporting characters that allowed for
the investigation of psychosocial relationships—from familial
issues to interpersonal and interspecies conflict to regional
strife—that the previous Star Trek series largely overlooked.
Essays explore how Deep Space Nine became the most richly
complicated "sci-fi" series in the entire Star Trek pantheon.
