So, for Star Trek HD remasters, the problem isn't the film used. The film used was high enough quality and still exists in its original form. This is what was used for TOS and TNG remasters. The problems begin when it comes to things like effects and editing. Effects were not made using the original film, but were rendered at their smaller broadcast resolution. They would need to recreate each effect again and render in HD. The editing was also not done at original resolution, so they would have to reedit the episode painstakingly in line and in sync with the original. This was done for TNG. The remasters were sold for a very high, but fair price, and sales figures were down. And that was for TNG. A lot of us would love them to release remasters of the other series, but that's unlikely to happen any time soon without some miraculous cheaper process.

It is too bad they did prequel show(Enterprise) instead of continuing the timeline. We got to see a Captain Nog in an alternative timeline episode, but not seeing a post dominion war/Borg destruction timeline with Nog being a commander or captain is a travesty.

That's what I like about Star Trek intros. No shooting, no phaser fire, explosions, charging Klingons... Just one ship (or a station) and space, lots and lots of space. The most exciting moment was when that wormhole opened at the end. But despite all this, the impression is just great. This is a sign of a great series: even the simplest opening reaches the viewers.

It was a great intro because it tells a little story. It is not just a ship whooshing by. First we open in the deepness of space, then we're gradually aware that there's some activity and the space station in the middle of nowhere. There are ships coming and going and people in space suits working on the thing. One ship (which fans know is the Defiant) undocks to go somewhere and suddenly there is the wormhole! Where is it going? What is the Wormhole about? We know just enough for the story to want to know more. It is a perfect introduction

Funnily enough DS9 when you think about it has a bigger message of unity than all the other treks despite being alone in space. The cast had the least number of humans as the main cast instead opting for the massive majority of aliens and on top of that the crew of DS9 were at the forefront of working with the Klingons in real brothers in arms style. Your right they may be alone but they are a real symbol of unity.

Despite being one of the darker trek shows, but it had a wonderful theme and great character arcs.

Everyone of them had a separate feel to the series. DS9 was diplomatic and political. Voyager was about getting home when lost. Enterprise was about starting out on an uncharted journey as the underdog. TOS and TNG were about Galactic exploration.

Funny thing is when I was younger, DS9 was my least favourite trek series but now I am much older and have seen it all the way through again, I rank it closer to the top. I think the reason being based on a station that didn't move it was much more of a character drama than any of the other shows, which were largely adventure stories on ships encountering all sorts of crazy stuff each week. You have to appreciate some of the really amazing performances the actors put in this show consistently, particularly Andrew Robinson as Garak. Also I can think of two episodes of DS9 that for me are again right up there with the best trek episodes of all time. My most memorable one is 'In the Pale Moonlight' which is incredibly powerful, dark like no other trek episode I have ever seen and thought provoking.

Best star trek, and the best intro going!

Season six made nice improvements on an already-awesome intro. I liked the addition of the ships coming and going, the little welder-guys stuck on the pylons- Just the everyday going-ons of the station that we usually never got to see. I also LOVED the small changes to the music, especially the subtle tempo/beat thing added to the background, which also added to the idea of the station being "alive" with movement and activity, more so than the previous seasons' intros.

I love TNG! But DS9 is the best Star Trek series ever.

IMHO, this is the best Star Trek series - every season is awesome, character development is at its finest (makes you really care about the characters) and there are many fascinating alien races and recurring characters. TNG has a mediocre first season; TOS has little to no character development and many stereotypes, e.g. Chekhov and Scotty; Voyager has Neelix who is something like the Star Trek version of Jar Jar Binx; and Enterprise takes two seasons to really start being entertaining. To sum it all up, Deep Space Nine is the best.

*SPOILER ALERT! DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE SERIES* I'm with you on the religious aspects of the show. Everytime someone mentioned the Prophets, it made my eyes turn. In addition I can also note that Kai Wynn is the most annoying character in the series and I enjoyed watching her perish, it would have been even better if she had died a season or two earlier. I don't feel let down by the last episode, however. The final battle between Sisko and Dukat was as epic as it could be and somehow it's nice to see that the ending isn't fully a happy one since we don't get to find out exactly what happens to Sisko after his ascension (that's the only way I could call it). As for the ending of the other four series: TOS doesn't have a proper one; TNG's seemed so dull to me, I don't even remember it and I only watched it a couple of years ago; Voyager has the best ending in my opinion of all five series; Enterprise's ending was absolutely degrading to the whole series which got cancelled when it finally reached its potential. Other pros for Deep Space Nine: Sisko's got to be the most badass captain of all (he's black, after all); Cardassians are one of the most interesting alien races in the franchise (and my favorite one) and Marc Alaimo and Andrew Robinson did one hell of a job portraying Dukat and Garak (if I didn't know any better, I would have thought that Garak was actually Robin Williams); the Ferengi served as a good comic relief without making you cringe... too much; Odo's relationships with Quark and Kira are also very emotional and interesting.

the only thing cooler than watching Star Trek, is getting to MEET the PEOPLE in person

I absolutely love DS9. It sorta strays away from the exploration aspect the series would mainly focus on and goes more in depth with the politics and various religions within the Federation. Instead of just focusing on a single ship exploring (or trying to get home) it focuses on an entire station at probably the most strategic location in the entire quadrant. Life on a space station is completely different compared to a starship. We've all heard about battles/wars that Starfleet has been involved with in the past but we never really got a chance to see what real warfare is like in Star Trek until DS9 came along with the Dominion War. It shows a darker side to the Star Trek universe and what complications Starfleet has to deal with to protect the Federation, including the existence of Section 31, the "unofficial" organization within Starfleet to get things done that Starfleet otherwise wouldn't be able to accomplish due to the values that the Federation stands for and holds so dear. Also a good portion of the episodes really tie in with each other one way or another instead of a whole new location and story per episode. I found it phenomenal with how they tied the Bajorans religion into the plot of the whole show. It truly showed us a whole different aspect of the Star Trek universe

It;s so funny how underappreciated DS9 was on it's release and now how it's enjoyed such an resurgence of appraisal amongst today's viewers. A lot of it is down to the change in audience. In this era of Game of Thrones, Walking Dead etc people want more anti-heroes, moral ambiguity, more complex, less heroic storylines. When looking back on the Star Trek franchise as a whole , DS9 ticks those boxes the most which is why it's being so championed now. Is this justified? Probably - especially from season 4 onwards, although this praise also has a element of because 'it's different' or 'i's an alternative' which doesn't always justify that a show is great.

By far, my favorite opening intro. Best Star Trek series EVER!

I've been watching DS9 a lot and I noticed that there's actually two versions of this theme tune. One like this and another which just has a single trumpet/horn playing the main theme throughout. I've got to say I prefer the latter... more relaxing to listen to. Though maybe they changed it as the war with the dominion began.

Such a gorgeous theme. It makes me think of Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man."

While an amazing series, this has to be the best Star Trek intro to date.

It was such an exciting experience sitting down to watch new episodes of DS9 and TNG shortly after dinner.

Very simply the best, most fully realized series of all the Star Trek canon. I remember the first time I saw the first episode. I thought, "This is different: a conflicted central character put into a peace keeping operation? Wow!"

This intro beats them all. It's just so gentle but strong, as if to glorify mankind's achievements. How it pans around the station like that, showing what we can achieve as a species. THAT is the essence of Star Trek, and by God I love it!

beautiful...just beautiful. probably my favorite ST series

There can be only be one.. this is the best intro of any Star Trek series

The composer of this piece is Dennis McCarthy, longtime composer for 90's Trek television. He won an Emmy for it.

My favorite ST theme, and it fit the series tone and seriousness.

I love DS9 - its the most unlike any Star Trek series, unique. Im watching daily in the uk!

Damn good theme, I love the epicness created by the underlying background of the music.

This was the best intro since the original series.

Love DS9, great characters and a good and original story.

One of the things I love about star trek scores is how perfect each one is to match each unique tone, characters, and vision the specific series creates. I can't see deep space 9's music laying over the next generation or voyager intro scenes. I can't see voyager and TOS swapping musical scores. Like or hate it, Faith in the Heart only works with Enterprise. And it's details like that which make star trek even richer for me.

these later season intros made the station look more lively

this made my life

So many good memories these series got me into the star trek universe!
