For seven seasons, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine occupied a remote Cardassian-built space station beside a newly discovered wormhole and proceeded to make the future considerably more complicated than Gene Roddenberry had originally advertised. There were Bajoran politics, Ferengi commerce, shape-shifting security officers, religious visions, wartime compromises and an exceptionally patient tailor who was definitely not a spy. The Deep Space Nine Companion is the substantial guide to all of it. Written by Terry J. Erdmann, this hefty volume follows the series from its 1993 pilot, Emissary , through to the 1999 finale, What You Leave Behind . Every episode receives its own account, including a synopsis, production information and behind-the-scenes commentary from the writers, producers, directors, designers and actors responsible. If you have ever wondered why a story developed in a particular direction?or whose week was ruined by the requirement for another fleet of Dominion ships?there is a fair chance the answer is here. Unlike the wandering starships of earlier Star Trek , Deep Space Nine remained largely in one place. This sounded cheaper and more restful until the writers introduced a wormhole, a strategically vital planet, competing religions, several hostile governments and the largest war in Federation history. The station did not boldly go anywhere; the entire Alpha Quadrant brought its problems to reception. The book charts the development of Benjamin Sisko from reluctant station commander to captain, wartime leader and religious Emissary. It follows Kira Nerys as she adjusts from resistance fighter to administrator, Odo as he investigates both crime and his own origins, and Jadzia Dax as she carries several lifetimes of memories while still finding time to play tongo. Dr Bashir matures, Chief O?Brien suffers with legendary regularity, and Worf eventually arrives to increase the station?s supply of Klingon solemnity. Then there is Quark, proprietor of the bar and guardian of Ferengi economic principles, who spends seven seasons demonstrating that capitalism will survive into the 24th century provided somebody remembers to charge admission. His brother Rom develops unexpected talents, Nog becomes the first Ferengi in Starfleet, and Grand Nagus Zek ensures that every major social reform is accompanied by an appropriate commercial opportunity. Particularly valuable is the coverage of the series? evolving storylines. Deep Space Nine increasingly embraced continuing plots, moral ambiguity and consequences that did not obligingly disappear before the closing credits. The occupation of Bajor, Cardassian politics, the Maquis, Klingon conflict and the Dominion War accumulated across years, requiring viewers to remember events from previous episodes?an outrageous demand in the days before streaming services supplied a ?previously on? sequence and immediate access to everything. Erdmann explores how these arcs were conceived, altered and occasionally discovered by accident. Television production involves careful planning, sudden rewriting, actor availability, budget restrictions and the mysterious transformation of an apparently minor character into somebody indispensable. Deep Space Nine became unusually rich in recurring figures: Garak, Dukat, Weyoun, Winn, Martok and others who moved between ally, enemy and person one should never invite to a diplomatic dinner. The Companion also examines the show?s design and technical production. The station?s Cardassian architecture, Bajoran costumes, alien make-up, models, visual effects and elaborate battle sequences all receive attention. Creating the future, it emerges, requires not only imagination but carpenters, foam latex, lighting plans and a large number of people trying to make a Los Angeles soundstage look like the outer edge of known space. Lavishly illustrated with photographs, drawings and production artwork, the book provides a visual record of the cast, sets, costumes, creat.

Sinopsis

Erdmann was given unprecedented access to every aspect of the production of Star Trek Deep Space Nine in order to compile this book which is considered, by some, the ultimate guide to Star Trek's grittiest and most complex series. Insight into the making of Deep Space Nine is provided by the set designers, cast and crew, and the writers and producers. Characters over the series have grown and developed, matured and met several challenges, learnt to cope with disaster and joy, defeat and victory. Each one has had his or her story played out around the space station Deep Space Nine, which is guarding the wormhole against invading Dominion forces. Episode by episode this companion takes readers through the seven-year drama, reliving the moments as the story unfolds.
