'Dax' or 'The Tumultuous Times Of A Trill'
During the first season of any show a viewer can always expect to see shows dealing with the background and pertinent history of key individual players. And that is exactly what 'Dax' is - a brief look into the life of the host of the Trill, Curzon Dax, nearly thirty years before Jadzia Dax was born and of course prior to her becoming a host. Trekkies had gotten a composite analysis of a Trill in the TNG episode 'The Host' but here the alien species is examined and explained in a little further detail.After leaving the Promenade, Dax is followed to her quarters by a trio of alien beings who get her attention, violently take her as a hostage and start to make their way back to their ship. Bashir, who imagines himself getting an invitation to her quarters, also comes along a few moments later and though surprised by the scene tries to rescue her. After failing he contacts the bridge and the aliens are effectively cutoff from escape and themselves taken prisoner by Odo and the DS9 security staff. The aliens however produce legitimate extradition papers for Dax - though it is actually Curzon Dax they are seeking and not Jadzia Dax. It seems that Curzon Dax is charged with treason and the murder of General Ardelon Tandro on Klaestron IV; the arresting officer is also the general's son, which complicate matters further. Sisko is forced by circumstance to hold an extradition hearing on the station and curiously he gets very little help from Dax in an attempt to halt the extradition. Initially Sisko, acting as Dax's lawyer, is quite convincing but as the hearing progresses the dire straits continually grow worse - and then Odo, who has traveled to Klaestron IV, uncovers the most damning evidence of all...and it may mean that Dax will face the death penalty.Considering the daunting task of inventing a background for such a complex being this is a remarkable and surprisingly well-done episode. Defining the separate lives that the Trill has lived prior to being hosted by Jadzia is going to be bound to any future storylines so the writers, Trek veteran D.C. Fontana and Peter Allan Fields, tread very fine ground and come out of it O.K. How is a host chosen? What happens to the person once they become a host? What becomes of their personality and lifes' experiences after they are joined with a Trill? Can a host change their mind after becoming a host? These questions and more are brought to light and answered relatively well. Some that aren't brought up are: How does a new host come to peace with all the lives that the Trill has lived? Initially there must be some confusion and turmoil, an internal war of personalities battling for dominance. Also, since Trill beings can alternately inhabit either a male or female host in separate lives doesn't this cause quite a bit of gender identification confusion? Naturally the creative staff wouldn't want to venture too far into this territory because it could become too compromising when considering future episodes about Dax. They try to cover a lot of background on what a Trill is but ultimately the focus is actually on the trial at hand and it eventually takes precedence in the show.The quality of guest stars that the Trek staff is able to get continually surprises me. Anne Haney is absolutely superb as the judge sent from Bajor for the hearing. Gregory Itzin, playing Ilon Tandro, has portrayed lawyers in other previous television shows and does a fine job here as well. Fionnula Flanagan, who plays the part of Enina Tandro, has also appeared in TNG's 'Inheritance' episode playing Dr. Julianna O'Donnell Soong Tainer, the long missing wife of Dr. Noonian Soong and just recently appeared in a first season episode of "Enterprise" as the Vulcan ambassador V'Lar.Note: There is a brief moment at the end of 'Dax' where a former lover - a female in this case - touches one of Jadzia's cheeks instead of kissing her and Jadzia immediately puts her fingers on the area where she has just been touched. It's effective and, in hindsight, the best way to handle this potentially explosive and objectionable scene. A few seasons later they would feel relaxed enough to tackle the issue in the episode 'Rejoined'.

Wird mit den Jahren immer besser!
Gerade die ersten Staffeln (früher als eher langwierig und schwächer als die neueren Folgen angesehen) sind gerade heutzutage aktueller denn je. Mit Religion, Terrorismus, Wiederaufbau, Unterdrückung und Politik hat DS9 die Themen der heutigen Zeit bereits vor fünfzehn Jahren vorweggenommen und weißt außerordentliche Parallelen zu heutigen Schauplätzen und Geschehnissen auf, die teilweise geradezu beängstigend sind.Eine der wenigen Serien deren erste Staffeln heutzutage aktueller sind als zuvor und dadurch für jeden zugänglich sind, eine der besten Drama-Serien aller Zeiten. Wären die ersten Staffeln erst vor vier oder fünf Jahren erschienen hätten sie noch weit mehr Preise gewonnen und Publikum angezogen.Für jeden der sich für die Probleme unserer heutigen Zeit interessiert und einem kritischen Blickwinkel nicht abgeneigt ist, sollte sich diese Anschaffung lohnen und vor allem bei DS9 heißt es: Auch Nicht-Fans sollten unbedingt zugreifen! So echt und düster wurde noch keine ST Serie dargestellt.Die Handlung der ersten Staffel besteht zwar eigentlich nur aus Einzelepisoden ohne wirklichen Zusammenhang, aber auch hier keimt der Konflikt zwischen den ehemaligen Besatzern und der Föderation und den Bajoranern bereits: Nachdem die Cardassianer die Bajoraner und deren Planeten ausgebeutet haben ziehen sie sich zurück. Die Föderation nimmt sich gutherzig der Bajoraner an, übernimmt die alten Militärbasen der Cardassianer und hilft beim Wideraufbau. Natürlich ist die Föderation auch der Ansicht das ein Außenposten in der Nähe der cardassianischen Grenze äußerst praktisch sein könnte, so das sich die Bajoraner mitunter ausgenutzt vorkommen. Durch die Konflikte innerhalb der Crew und den Dutzenden Nebendarstellern ensteht bald ein Mikrokosmos der sich im Verlaufe der Serie immer weiter ausweitet und geradezu epische Dimensionen annimmt und das alles nimmt in der ersten Staffel seinen Anfang.

Beste Staffel, fairer Preis
Ich kann den Unmut meines Vorrezensenten verstehen, möchte aber zu bedenken geben, dass im Falle von Deep Space Nine die Erstveröffentlichung in den stabilen, eine ganze Staffel beinhaltenden Boxen vor vier Jahren geschehen ist. Damals war die Serie noch wesentlich aktueller als heute und Star Trek auch noch allgemein bekannter/beliebter, so dass damals meines Erachtens ein höherer Preis (auch wenn er zugegebenermaßen sehr hoch war) durchaus gerechtfertigt war. Man sollte sich also lieber freuen, dass man die Serie nun zu einem sehr angemessenen Preis erhält.Wer die alten Boxen schon gekauft hat, kann zumindest die "höheren" Staffeln noch recht vorteilhaft verkaufen und sich von dem Geld die neuen Boxen kaufen.Ansonsten braucht man zur Serie wohl nicht mehr viel zu sagen - ein Meilenstein der SF-Fernsehgeschichte und sicherlich eine lohnenswerte Anschaffung.

Qualtität gegen Preis..
Nun, wie schon beschrieben wurde ist die Qualität an einigen Stellen nich so die, die ich mir erwünscht hatte. Das die Folgen so komprimiert wurden damit sie auf die DVD passen glaub ich nicht, es ist schon ein wenig schade. Aber angesichts des Preises bekomme ich mehr Film als auf anderen zum selbigen. Und für mich hats auch noch einen Helden-Bonus, schließlich ist es Star Trek und dem verzeih ich schneller als irgendwelchen anderen Filmen.. ;)

Ein "Must have" für Fans!
Die Lieferung war nahe an Perfekt. Schnell und gut Verpackt.Nach meiner Meinung ist Deep Space Nine das beste Spin Off der STAR TRECK-Saga.
