That might make it the most expensive DVD or blu-ray set ever, but some BBC releases would still be close behind.
New DS9 Documentary
- Thread starter Tosk
- Start date
Yes I remember bbc2 night, Sky 1 marathons hosted by Sylvester McCoy etc. In America TOS seems the dominant followed by TNG with the others bringing up the rear, you can tell by the branding
I became a fan just before the 30th anniversary which was good timing!
I think it was said Brooks isn't well.
This is awesome! I donated right away.
I hope that the interest for this shows CBS that there is still interest (and if not profit, then at least some cash) in DS9 and that a bluray remaster is viable.
I also would have liked to attend such a dinner, but can't justify the expense. Also, just a note, I believe Nana was several weeks post-partum when they filmed Darkness and the Light (at least according to the guys at Post-Atomic Horror podcast).

If money wasn't an issue I would love a dinner with Visitor. Then I can ask questions like what was it like Kicking ass while being very pregnant in Darkness and the Light.

You are correct: she gave birth during Let He Who Is Without Sin (the reason I give Siddig a pass on a particularly cringeworthy performance during an otherwise cringeworthy episode). Nonetheless, I think she still deserves kudos for the physical performance in Darkness and Light. Kicking ass as she walked the corridors was awesome, especially post-partum.

Siddig did say he was "unfocused" during "Let He..."
Brooks was involved in a way, he told Behr the documentary shouldn't just be talking heads, hence the glimpse into the writers breaking the story of season eight, episode 1.
Totally agree. Trek (in general) is so special to people for a very good reason, and we all know what that reason is. Add to that people really feeling that something was left behind when DS9 ended, and without any continuation.. (at least we got to see an Admiral Janeway in a TNG movie) ... we are all hungry for something more. As Ometiklan also remarked, I'm hoping that CBS is watching this unfold very carefully, and what it may mean for a remaster.

I'd say I was already well on my way from age 8 or less, but around that time is when jt became so so much easier to be a fan. Trek was mainstream, could go in Argos for toys, but magazines in newsagents, it wasn't just a forbidden planet trip any more.
I donated on the first day and I'm simply awestruck that the campaign has made nearly $300,000 already, in just 7 days. Major kudos to all Niners.
Keep it going Niners!
The next push goal, which is only $28,000 away, is to include an original score performed by a live orchestra. It doesn't say who would make the score but I agree Dennis McCarthty would be great.
