DS9 Season 6 and Season 7 the streaming version

[mattman8907]

If DS9 Season 6 and 7 were made today and it consisted of 10 episodes each which episodes would you guys keep and which ones would you let go?

I couldn't do it. Season seven ends on a nine-ep run, so you've basically lost the rest of that season already.

I could drop some from those two seasons, but no way I'd give up 32 episodes.

I agree. DS9 is heavily serialized in seasons 6-7. And if you kept all the essential parts to follow the plot of the serial, you'd have to give up some really awesome standalone episodes.

I think a number of them could be kept by fusing several of the episodes into single 90 episode. It's streaming; no one has to be confined to 45 minutes to tell a story for an episode.

Season 6

• “A Time To Stand” & “Rocks and Shoals” as a 90 minute episode season premiere.
• “Sons and Daughter” & “Behind the Lines” as a single 90 minute episode.
• “Favor The Bold” & “Sacrifice of Angels” as a single 90 minute episode.
• “You Are Cordially Invited”
• “Change of Heart”
• “Inquisition”
• “In The Pale Moonlight”
• “Valiant”
• “Tears of the Prophets”

I’m just not sure if the tenth episode of the sixth season should be: “Statistical Probabilities”, “Far Beyond the Stars” , “Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night”, “The Reckoning” or “The Sound of Her Voice”. They are all good candidates. I just know that it should not be a mirror universe episode.


Season 7

• “Image in the Sand” and “Shadows and Symbols” as a 90 minute episode season premiere.
• “Afterimage”
• “The Siege of AR-558”
• “It’s Only a Paper Moon”
• “Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges”
• “Penumbra & Til Death Do Us Part”
• “Strange Bedfellows & The Changing Face of Evil”
• “When It Rains…” & “Tacking Into the Wind”
• “Extreme Measures & The Dogs of War”
• “What You Leave Behind”

Turn seasons 6-7 into seasons 6-10.
