As a child I was a big fan of Next Generation. Then came DS9 and I liked it at first. After the 2nd season I loved it! Some weeks ago I decided to binge watch DS9 again and I must say that I now recognized how well written and played this series is. Such deep discussions of topics and the chraracters (I really appriciate Garak for example), it really makes me happy while watching it.
I was exposed to Star Trek with the first 80's era movies, next I grew up on STNG, and STDS9 came out when I was in High School. Deep Space got me with Cap. Sisko, and when Worf, the Defiant, and the Dominion War entered, I was addicted!!
DS9 is my absolute favorite series in Star Trek. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this super great and detailed video. The animations and the addition of the USS Defiant info were awesome. Thank you very much! Thank you for your efforts! I really enjoyed the video! 💯
I remember how in the shows pilot episode 'The Emissary' Chief Miles O'Brien had trouble with the transporter in O.P.S. as apparently it was temperamentale at times and he had to kick the console to get to work.
I miss DS9 so much. I really loved the Characters. Captain Sisko was Captain I would want to work for. He used the rulebook only as a rough guide and was willing to bypass it when commonsense demanded it. Garek. Would be that friend that would always get you into trouble.
@@Halfscreen Fascinating yes. From memory, we saw Tuvix being filmed, The DS9 episodes were a S2 one about Quarks mother and the later visit filming a mirror universe episode. Filming on the Defiant. The other Voyager episode being The Phage. We were most fortunate to have the opportunity. I recall some of the other guests being industry insiders that were not that amazed. On my first visit we had to introduce ourselves and what we did. Barry Levinson's assistant was one. The others also connected to TV Me, all I could say was that I was a facrory worker trimming plastic aircraft parts and going home covered in crap.
All of the videos of the Star Trek ships and other like things are an immediate must watch for me when you post them. I am always impressed by the attention to detail and useful information that you include. I am really glad to see that you got a chance to cover DS9. It was very well done.
Some one can’t pronounce Promenade Its shown in a few episodes such as way of the warrior that access to hollowsuites is via the upper level of Quarks not behind murial on lower level.
I love DS9, but I have to admit it got preachy in the later seasons after Sisco disappeared up his own ass with the chosen one prophet thing. As a kid, Odo was my favorite character, but now as an adult I have a new appreciation for Quark's depth of character. There's so much more to him than I ever realized as a kid.
Star Trek was always preachy, but I agree with you. The howl story around Sisko being the chosen one by the wormhole creatures, was a little over the top. Still the best Star Trek show.
DS9 was and still is my favourite show of all times. Wish they would bring out a Blu-Ray remaster. You have done amazing work here and it must have taken a lot of time to complete. Unfortunately, there are a few mistakes in ops and in Quark's but all in all brilliant. Keep it up.
Yeah, I was disappointed to see that you didn't highlight how different DS9's turbolifts are. You can see them in action at the beginning of this clip: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lXnqZpGc1HI.html
For the doors, you can get a decent look at them in the episode "Civil Defense" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C63JF7u3xcU.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XaWzU-xtb4k.html
One would expect that feedback is welcome, since some comments are answered. What have we learned if we are only selective. I assume a video is fully listened to and watched before it is published. It's certainly difficult to get something 100%, but when fanatical people give feedback, then you also have them already sources. Otherwise, it looks like you're delivering a good video, while missing public confirmations.
Just a quick fix on Quark's: the center area usually contained the Dabo Table, Quark would bring out the Tongo Board when the bar was closed or if requested. But during bar operations, the Dabo Table was primarily used. But i love these videos, I've always wanted to explore Star Trek Vessel much like Star Wars and it's Cross Section books. Thank you for these videos
Don't forget the Terran Rebels have their own Defiant after the Mirror Universe O'Brien or 'Smiley' as he's called managed to copy most of the original Defiants schematics and with the help of the Mirror Universe Jennifer Sisko who lured Jake to the other side so they could get Commander Sisko to come over to help them get the Mirror Universe Defiant operational.
My personal favorite of the Trek series! There were sooo many impactful stories told in DS9. Not to mention the stellar recurring characters that were not part of the regular crew. In this regard no other trek series can touch DS9. Still waiting for the remastering Paramount or CBS!!!!!
I can remember, back in the 90s it wasn't well received. I watched TNG and was sad the show was over, a friend suggested DS9 to me but said: it takes place on a space station, it's pretty lame. But after season 2 , I loved it. The characters had so much depth and the storytelling was ( and still is ) so good? I remember, that i desperately wanted to live on DS9, visiting Quark and say hello to Morn. One of my favorites shows and by far best Star Trek series.
Deep Space 9 is like a Home for people in and outside the federation… built correctly in Space above earth it would be a great attraction…any aspects of DS9‘s weapons , shields , self-replicating mines and reaction control systems all seem to have been powered by magic not technology…but all the stories where great…the truth as well as the lies, especially the lies like Garak said…Quarks Bar irresistible and irresponsible…Chief Odo‘s Looks at Quark were great…Jadzia Dax and Doctors Chemistry was very bittersweet especially when Dr.Bashir created a submissive version of Jadzia …Ben and Jake Sisko‘s story heartwarming…Kira‘s combative mind of conquer and offensive was great…ROM, Nog‘s and Quark‘s and Quarks Mum : Mugies Stories wonderful…the slapstick comedy of the courageous Ferengi great…the little ship showed The Defiant in total different camera Angles…and the best fan service was episode 99 with the trouble with tribbles …
Great work ... very detailed. You have a couple 'Turbo Lift' misidentification issues. In Ops you've identified 2 turbo lifts (very similar to the turbo lifts in Starfleet Starships ) both either side of the viewscreen - they did not exist. Instead the big oval section of flooring (to the left of the viewscreen when facing it) is the Cardassian version of a turbo lift. Similarly in 'Quark's' the 2 turbo lifts do not exist and the layout is incorrect - especially the Dabo Table which was more central. Sure; a bit nitpicky - however we Deep Space Niners are a passionate bunch!
Great video thanks. Like most Trekkies I live DS9, tho to be fair I like all the golden age series in their own ways and I’m glad I don’t have to choose just one!
And although waste extraction was mentioned a few times when Rom left quarks bar, those essential rooms called bathrooms and toilets and facilities are not even mentioned in these blueprints and plans.
DS9 was a true serial. Gone were the days of the 'monster of the week'. Instead we experienced the lives of the habitats, o' Brein, Quark, Kira, Julian, etc.
@@MatthewCaunsfield I have pretty much all the tech manuals. Starting with Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise - the first one I bought! And more lately, the Haynes Guide.
Another great video, Halfscreen! Question for you, have you ever done, or considered videos like this with actual naval vessels? I'd love to see a size comparison like yours of various classes, ie: submarines, destroyers, carriers, and the like.
what a fantastic video waht a joy to have see this material maginificent cheers from venezuela i wish i could see a video of the federation space doc congrats sir!
I still can't wrap my head around the scale of DS9. Somtimes it seems huge sometimes it seems more quaint. Like, those windows on the upper promenade do not look much bigger than a person from the inside, but on the outside, they look huge.
Remember with Deep Space Nine it's chief of Security was called Odo and he was a shape shifter till after he was forced to kill another who pretended to be a Starfleet officer and Odo was then forced to face judgement by the leaders of the Dominion called the Founders and because of his actions he was stripped of his shape shifting abilities and before that he returned to liquid or fluidictic state and went into a bucket or something similar for a while but was given his own quarters after he was stripped of his abilities and I also remember in one episode Chief of Operations Miles O'Brien lead an engineering team that included Nog the first Ferengi in Starfleet and Garak the Cardassian Exile to another Space Station identical to DS9 to get replacement parts and it was the season 5 episode 'Empok Nor'.
I like these videos, but your definition and graphical representation of the turbolifts in ops is totally wrong. They're oval shaped, not round like a federation starship, and are not where you indicated. The turbolifts come up out of the floor in ops, where those grey ovals are on each side.
I may be mistaken, I think you labeled the turbo lifts wrong on the ops diagram. The doors you said were turbo lifts were alternate exits from ops, probably stairwells down to the promenade. The turbo lifts are right beside those doors.
I agree, not a fan of the tree. It’s the first thing I noticed and my first thoughts were I don’t like this set, but over time I have grown to appreciate the rest of the set and overcome the tree. I’ll moc the tree with something else. I also agree that Parisian restaurant is still my favourite but this set will look good next to it.
The ops diagram layout is wrong. The monitor screen is on the left side of the office if you are walking out of the office. In this video there is the transporter pad ware the screen is. O’Brian’s station is actually ware the screen is in this video and so it the teleporter. When you get off the lift the telapad is directly to the right. And O’Brian’s desk is to the left of that if you are looking at it.
Of all the sections discussed, the infirmary should have been far more larger with at least 20 beds instead of just one. After all there are thousands of people living and moving their daily.
DS9 was awesome, so was the station, but who the HELL designs docking pylons that point towards each other? That's a nightmare for docking ops of multiple ships....
Way better thank you my ears are no longer bleeding as bad, thanks again, am inflection or 2 off still but way better, should watch a few episodes but you're trying at least respect for that,but I'm really not trying to pick you to death it's just that deep space 9 is my favorite TV show ever and I hope that it is remembered properly, on most stuff amazing job.
Those look like federation turbolifts to me in quark's bar.. the cardassian design is more oval. In fact, the whole thing looks wrong to me, the center of quark's bar is the dabo wheel, not a tongo table, and the holosuites were in the back upstairs.
98 levels? Looking at the rows of windows, I count no more than about 15 human-habitable levels (not counting the big fusion thingy hanging below the station and those docking struts but did people live in those?).
I was a latecomer to DS9, as I am to this video, because I preferred Babylon 5 back in the day. I found DS9, at least the early seasons, a little slow for my liking, with B5 being more action packed. With age comes a better appreciation of DS9, which ahs also aged better, and thus do enjoy it more in middle age than I did in my 20s.
Have you actually watched DS9? I have to ask since they say the word “promenade” correctly in the tv series instead of how you pronounce it (with a long “o” sound instead of the correct short “o” sound; it should have a “prah” or “praw” sound instead of like “pro”).
