Oh yes, and don't forget the war! There was an early announcement that the show would attempt a 10-part resolution to the Dominion War, but viewers could be forgiven for forgetting all about it with so much sentimental distraction. When the horrors of war did resurface, they at least injected a few surprises into the mix. Odo and his ambiguously "evil" Founders were hit with a melting disease, prompting a backstabbing race for the power of developing and owning a cure. The original baddie Cardassians finally settled on the Federation's side. Contrary to these interesting twists, however, were the unexpected turns taken by matters relating to Sisko's spiritual destiny. Suddenly the mystery of the wormhole and an entire religious belief system was reduced to the problem of translating correctly the words of a sacred book. The struggle to join with some evil aliens significantly diluted the attempt at resolving what had begun seven years before in the show's pilot episode. Ultimately, Sisko's destiny, as with all those who'd followed him to the open-ended climax, was to be decided elsewhere. In a move that was either bold and daring--or possibly born of desperation for not having thought things through properly--the show's storylines were to be continued in a series of spin-off books. --Paul Tonks DVD Technical Information:

Amazon.co.uk Review
The seventh and final series of Deep Space Nine came down to loose ends, tying some existing ones together and allowing others to unravel. Symptomatic of the unwillingness to let DS9 go was the immediate arrival of a replacement Dax, though poor Nichole deBoer as Ezri Dax had to have known she'd already missed the boat. Her appearance encouraged last-minute romances to blossom, with Bashir finally getting some action, Odo finally getting together with Kira and Sisko finally proposing to Kassidy. Another contributing cute factor were numerous trips to the Holosuite wherein the all-knowing Vic Fontaine dished out philosophical advice. That was when the crew weren't in there to play baseball against the Vulcans or when Nog wasn't commiserating about the loss of a leg.

Synopsis
The third Star Trek series concerns Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks), commander of the starship Deep Space Nine, who discovers the first known stable wormhole--a virtual shortcut through space that leads from the Alpha Quadrant to the Gamma Quadrant on the other side of the galaxy. The Gamma Quadrant is governed by the Dominion, a group led by the Changelings--a race of shapeshifters which counts DS9 crew member Odo (Rene Auberjonois) among its numbers. The Dominion has become a violent force in the galaxy, and the Deep Space Nine and its crew has become the only hope in upholding the way of life established by the Federation. This 7-disc set includes all 25 episodes from the seventh and final season.

So the end begins in series 7, an action packed season full of the special effects bringing the franchise to a exciting climax. The series begins after the disastrous end to season six which left the worm whole closed and Captain Sisko lost, not including the death of Dax! This season sets out to end probably one of the better star trek franchise.....will the Federation defeat the Dominion?, watch the series and find out!

a fitting, ending for true fans
Review date: 2006-07-13 Rating: 10 out of 10
I saw emisary during a repeat on sky tv and the intreaging (hard to spell) plot so different from TNG but using species I knew - Cardies and Bajorans. Charecters I new - Cheif O'Brien and Picard to seal the orthenticity.
Begins with a battle and now Season 7 is the climax of a 3 year war. If you follow the series you have been with the charecters as they evolve their friendships, thier emotions, if you haven't seen the end of series 6 - Dax. Not just the main charecters but the long running stories and bit charecters - ferengies who break up the tension and death, the darkness and backstabbing and secrets in dukat, Kai Winn and Section 31.
Some clever episodes, comical episodes, episodes which make you think and the grand finale - the last quarter of this series might as well have the same title as the stories come together for the end of the programme, and when it does-shooting all over the place, political irony, spirits, emissary, whatever you whant and then a teary fare well...the scene between ODO and...I won't spoil it but I almost cried.
real fans of DS9 who have been following the series as I have from start to finish will love this
Good have done better
Review date: 2006-04-05 Rating: 4 out of 10
I have been a fan of star trek for about 15 years now since the next generation started in 1989. I have watched all the the epiosodes from Star trek The Orginal Serries to Enterprise and I thought that season 7 of Star Trek DS 9 is below what I would have expected from a such a high calibre serries.
The writers of the serries spent 12 Episodes building up the suspence and ends up letting you down. I thought that their were gapping holes in the plot that should have been sorted out before they began shooting the eppisode. I have to say that the storyline that involved the religion of the bajorans was totally borring and was not worth the effort. Which envolves the leader of the bajoran and the most hated chacter Ducot was laughable. However the best storyline of the serries was the revolt from within the cardassian empire whigh was led by Damar was absouly superb and had everyting you would ask for. Although they lifted it directly from the movie braveheart it is till worth watching.
The actors were the only safing grace of this serries with first class and emotional performances.
Overall I if had to choose between the end of the serries of Star Trek DS 9 and Voyager I would choose Voyager everytime.
Rather disappointing
Review date: 2005-12-03 Rating: 6 out of 10
After the exceptional successes made in seasons 3-6, season 7 was a disappointment for me. There seems to be nothing new to sustain the show at all, and even the over prolonged Dominion War is tiring, not to mention the little action there is.
This season is more of a conclusive piece for the characters, who ultimately split apart in the final episode. The acting, the direction and the emotions exhibited on the last episode are outstanding, proving once again the acting skill of all of the cast, but I was slightly disappointed with the idea of them all being back together safe and sound. The final episode would have been amazing if some disaster had happened aboard the station, resulting perhaps in its destruction. Although much much better than the Voyager finale, DS9's conclusion was no where near as strong as Star Trek: The Next Generations 'All Good Things' 1 & 2.
To conclude, adequate achievement, but the special feature and behind the scenes footage makes this a worthy buy.

DS9 was an under-rated and quality Sci Fi series that took a deep and hard look at the reality of the current state of our world and bought this into an optimistic but unrealistic perception we have of the future.
This series was finely balanced to bring humour, depression, war, morality and intelligence - which was the purpose - it was bold and moving in its portrayal of issues that again only star trek can pull off in a balanced manner.
I hated this series at first but grew to love it - do not miss out on this and stick with all the series - they all belong together!
