I'm an old follower.of Star Trek but I must say I loved DS9 shame it finished

Watching this series in 480p back in the day, I now realize how many artistic design details were just completely lost in that blurry broadcast smear. This show truly deserves a 4K remaster!

That blurry broadcast smear did help with the special effects though. Like the paintings they use to extend aeras like the jefferies tubes and the promenade didn't look like paintings due to the blur

All Star Trek is Star Trek.

Dear Otoy, I just wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible work you do in preserving and showcasing classic Roddenberry Star Trek. Your channel is a treasure trove of nostalgia and appreciation for these timeless works. Watching your beautiful documentary, I couldn't help but be reminded of the things that made these showcased works so special. The artistry of the Motion Picture still resonates in its stunning design, capturing the essence of the Star Trek universe. Armin Shimerman hosted this DS9 recollection superbly in his entertaining and compelling dialogue. I must admit, when Deep Space Nine was airing, I found it a bit difficult to fully grasp its brilliance. However, when I had the opportunity to watch it in its entirety, thanks to streaming services and a full set, the true excellence of the series came through in the most enjoyable way. The intricate formula that DS9 presented unfolded before my eyes, and I was captivated by its depth and complexity. One aspect of the series that particularly fascinated me was the seamless blend of science, religion, and spirituality. It was a thought-provoking amalgamation that explored fascinating concepts and challenged our understanding of the universe. The science fiction or fantasy worked and jelled cohesively! Once again, I want to extend my deepest appreciation to you, Otoy, for your dedication to preserving and showcasing these classic Roddenbery Star Trek works. Your channel is a haven for fans like myself, allowing us to relive the magic and immerse ourselves in the captivating world of Star Trek. I am inspired to make something myself now, and for this I am grateful. Thank you for all that you do.

DS9 is the best-written and acted Trek series and one of the finest TV shows of all time.

CBS and Paramount are to sorry to remaster this excellent series that IMO is the best Trek series. It would be nice if Trek were sold to another studio as I have read, then maybe DS9 would be given the recognition and support that was handed to the lesser quality shows like TNG and Voyager.

When this show first came out, I was like wtf..... but by the time the series finale aired, I found myself a bit choked up with the last 5 minute montage of memories.... what a journey. I felt like the whole DS9 cast became part of my family and we were parting ways forever.....

Why did this make me so emotional... Thanks Armin.

8:30 So, how many of us are now sad we never got to see DS9's bowling alley?? Such a throwback to TOS!! This is amazing work, OTOY!! The sights are beyond amazing, but the real gem here?? Quark. This couldn't be any better than it is!! Im overusing the exclamation point because I can not hold back my excitement for how well done this is!!

Anyone else get goosebumps when the narration started? 😍

Me too. But it is important to know that while TNG was shot on film, DS9 and Voyager was shot on video. The remastering of TNG was possible because of the high resolution on 32mm film. The best we can hope for is some kind of AI Upscale of the original video source of DS9 and Voyager 😉🙏🏼

Astounding. So many things I’d not noticed before. Of all the modelling and lighting the things that made me think “that’s perfect” are the carpets and Quark’s bars floor. Weird I know, but they are just so spot on: texture, lighting, colour. This walkthrough with the virtual camera and editing is also amazing, and Armin is such a wonderful host. Thank you.

DS9 was my Dad's favorite Trek show. He loved it.

Beautifully narrated, written, edited, modeled, textured, and animated. Really, a gorgeous video all around and having Armin narrate is the icing on the cake. Thanks for this treat. LLAP 🖖🏻

DS9 was such a special show, this was wonderful to travel back. Thank you! This is REAL Star Trek, and we need more of it! Keep up the amazing work!

The lighting is so good. It looks exactly like the show.

My wife and I got married in Vegas on Christmas eve. At the time there was a Star Trek attraction there that had the whole bridge of the Next Gen enterprise and also a smaller version of the Promenade with Quarks bar. On Christmas day, there was a bartender Ferengi who kept my mother spellbound and a seven foot tall Klingon patron. They were in full perfect screen makeup. We had dinner and drinks and the bartender sat with us and made jokes. It was the most amazing dinner ever. I recall the design extending even into the restrooms which we never see in the show.

Hah, the multiple Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy references in the Promenade directory brought joy to my heart.

Just a wonderful tour of Deep Space Nine.

I love DS9 to death. I doubt any new series will ever manage to rise to it´s level - let alone top it.

AGREED.

We need a full HD remaster of this show. I was just trying to get my wife to watch it on Netflix for the first time, but the low quality of the footage was an instant barrier to her being able to get into it. :( Also, I really wish we could get all these sets and locations in VR, from DS9 to the Enterprise D. There was a brilliant fan project of the Enterprise D at once point, but it sadly got shut down. Giving us something like that with proper modern VR movement, turning and interaction would just be stunning. Star Trek has never bettered the TNG/DS9 era imo, and it would be so nice to be able to go both watch both shows in glorious HD and go back there and stand in this world's special locations in VR and just be there again from time to time. Edit: Just saw some of your clips for the Vision Pro stuff. They look awesome. But, obviously, most people aren't going to be able to afford a Vision Pro, so it would be great if this kind of thing was assessable in more affordable and mainstream VR headsets too, be it PC VR or the Quest line. I have a Quest 3, and I would truly love to be able to walk around a high quality recreation of the Enterprise D bridge on that headset.

I remember Robert Meyer Burnett who worked on the TNG remaster to HD quality said it cost Paramount in 2012 $20M. He said last year in 2023 that $20M from Viacom CBS could remaster TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT in 4K. However I don’t see anything happening anytime soon when Viacom CBS which owns Paramount and Star Trek is currently up for sale.

Absolutely amazing. The level of detail was extraordinary-it felt like revisiting an old friend. Hearing Armin Shimerman, aka that charming scoundrel Quark, was truly magical and brought a tear to my eye.

You guys are crushing it with these recreations! Never, ever stop!

WOW just incredible to see the love and attention being given to such a beloved series. We can but hope for the HD/4K full restoration for these series still. And so wonderful to hear Armin of course! ❤

Deep Space Nine is still my favorite.

I love the old PC game "Startrek DS9: Harbinger" wandering around parts of the station. Interacting with the cast and solving an intergalactic threat... Great game from a bygone era

DS9 was such a big thing to me back then. The first Star Trek series I followed from the start. Reflecting back on it also means reflecting back on my youth (my twenties). Feel like a lifetime ago...

Watching this video brought back so many great memories for me. Thank you!

I almost never click on ads, but I let an ad bring me here and I'm very glad I did! Nicely put together and I enjoyed armin's narration.

Even if you're familiar with the contours of DS9's Promenade, this is worth it just for Armin Shimmerman's narration. He was clearly delighted to do this.

everyone sleeps on DS9 but it’s my second favorite series

A Shimmering presentation. I never realized until now that Quark's Bar was in the middle and top of the Promenade and also of the station, instead of the Operations Center. Quite a privileged location!

Man that station is so awesome. :D

I would gladly watch a whole series of Deep Space 9 according to Quark with Armin Shimmerman narrating, one on ops, runabouts and docking pads, and Siskos pimp hand the Defiant. It would be great.

Thanks for this wonderful journey through the DS9 space station! Having Armin narrate it was a brilliant idea!

@@nexusvideo That is not correct. In Star Trek The Magazine it says that from season 4 onwards DS9 was being filmed in HD in preparation for the future. You look at the standard version TNG vs DS9 and you can see DS9 has better quality. Iknow because I have all the series and movies.

Adding Worf and the Dominion War made this show great in my opinion.

Now here's something I wish I could see more often... the promenade in high definition.

I hate the fact that ds9 was never shown the love it deserved on release. It completely pushed what was then the star trek boundaries. It was exactly what was needed but trek fans are a fickle bunch. Change was exactly what was needed yet change wasn't appreciated. Ds9 still has some of the best storylines to this very day.

Quark, one of the most memorable ST characters there is.

Kwark and Odo’s play off each other was one of my favourite parts of DS9 ✌️🇬🇧

oh how I miss Quark and Odo joshing at each other and the cat and mouse game they played.

I loved DS9, it was my favourite Star Trek show after the original series. It embodies all the original themes and pioneering elements of Star Trek and some. My favourite characters were the minor characters especially Jake and Nog, who we saw grow up on the station. I especially enjoyed seeing the other Cardassian stations like DS9, like Empok Nor and when the crews came into contact with them it made for often dangerous missions. I miss DS9 and think it deserved a more fitting send off and definitely a movie. We need to know more about what happened to Sisco and Jake, and the rest of the cast. Much better than Voyager and what came after.

My god I need DS9 in HD. Please. PLEEEASSSE

Glorious visuals and the narration by Armin is a terrific bonus!
