What We Left Behind: DS9 Documentary
I stumbled onto this trailer today. It's a new documentary about Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. It was my favorite of the different series and thought I'd share the trailer for those who also like DS9. I'm seriously considering seeing this doc in the theater.

I’d probably see this too. I love Trek but DS9 was my least favorite of the franchise. I still watch it every night on H&I channel on cable though.

DS9 is also my favorite of the Trek series.

While TNG has a number of the "best" ST episodes, I think DS9 is the most consistently "good" of the ST shows.

I need to watch this. DS9 was the 2nd best series IMHO (after TNG).

Wow, that looks good.

DS9 was my favorite series of all Trek (after they got past the snoozer Seasons 1-3, that is). Thanks for the head's up.

It was well worth it. There’s one scene that’s a bit cringe and will not date very well, but it was amazing seeing so much of the show HD scanned like TNG was for Blu-Ray release.

Hell, if CBS All Ass wants me to sign up, they can start HD scanning episodes and putting them up once a week. It can’t be that expensive compared to the trash they call Star Trek they’re wasting $8-10 million an episode on...

The "Watch for free with ads" option doesn't seem to actually work. At least for me, it just comes up as an error.

I did not watch it religiously, but I did watch it often and enjoyed it. I think what hurt it for me is a bit of Star Trek overload. I was enjoying TNG reruns, catching DS9 here and there, along with Voyager popping up - which I can't recall much of it.

I would like to rewatch DS9 but I do not know if I have the time. My wife has no interest in it.

I have tried getting into Enterprise too. Seems like a decent show as well, but it has taken me years to watch 2 seasons. You lose a lot in between.

Just tried, and it works for me.

That's one of the things they mention on why DS9 wasn't more popular. There was never a time when it was the only Star Trek. It's also why they were able to get away with pushing the envelope so much. They weren't as good as Babylon 5, but they're still the best Trek series since TOS, and it's likely never to change with the garbage CBS All Ass is putting out.

The only season of Enterprise worth watching is Season 4. That's when the show finally turned into a TOS Prequel it wanted to be from the start.
