I never watched "Star Trek:Deep Space Nine"...and, I'm beginning to believe I've missed a lot!
I was a big fan of "Star Trek"-'The Original Series' as a child, and, am even now as I 'shuttle' into my 50s. I've always regarded spin-offs as "lesser;" "a waste of time;" and, "cheap, low-quality gimmicks to capitalize on original greatness;" i.e. - spin-offs of "All In The Family;" "Happy Days;" etc., were "lesser quality." Has anyone-anywhere ever seen spin-off that is better than the original? Devil's Advocate - "The Pink Panther" movies...probably! Peter Sellers was always great!:D
I WAS WRONG! This episode of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Trials and Tribble-ations" is nothing less than 'INCREDIBLE!' It's on the "Star Trek Complete Series-Season 2" DVD set that I just bought (along with the 1973 cartoon version with "Tribbles").
It's not only a MUST-SEE for TOS fans, it's a MUST-SEE for anyone who appreciates the 'mixing-and-matching' of old films with new films to create spectacular films! On this same DVD, there is also a video that explains how all of this is/was done - mixing new "Deep Space Nine" scenes in with classic "TOS" scenes. It's really amazing! A great deal of thought, effort, and, care, went into the making of this wonderful episode! I'd really be surprised if this episode, alone, didn't increase the viewing of TOS by at least 100%!?
If you like the two-part TOS episode "The Menagerie: Parts 1 and 2" in which scenes from the first pilot are included into the story...you'll really like this!
I've never intended on watching "ANY" of the "STAR TREK ORIGINAL SERIES" (TOS) spin-offs, but...I was wrong! I'd like to see them all, now! :)
