- Deep Space 9 Season 1, Episode 1 and 2: Upon arriving at his new command, Benjamin Sisko is quickly involved in a Bajoran prophet's quest for eight mystical and powerful orbs.
A spin-off of `Star Trek: The Next Generation', `Deep Space Nine' is set on a space station orbiting the planet Bajor. This time, Commander Benjamin Sisko is in charge of a diverse crew. But unlike other `Star Trek' series, there's no USS Enterprise to help them. Sisko and the crew must fight off rival alien species who want control of Deep Space Nine because of its strategic position close to a wormhole, which allows speedy travel to the far reaches of space.
Come see Coach's first time EVER watching Star Trek DS9 with Nick who has already seen the whole show but loves it so much he is going to go through it all with Coach for his first time. This is going to be a fun journey guys, hope you enjoy :)

I wish that I could watch DS9 for the first time again. It is my favorite Star Trek, and I re-watch the series sometimes twice a year.
Well now you can watch it with us. :)
I feel the exact same way
I'm so excited for you, Coach!! This truly was the best series for me. There's a lot of nods to baseball in this. And, so much more! Enjoy yourself!!
More to come! :)
IT is a CULTURAL RUclips CRIME against humanity that Coach has not seen DS9, this is going to be fascinating to watch Coach go through this journey of what is easily the FINEST (nonTOS) Star Trek in existence
I'm old - I was 16 when Star Trek first aired in 1966 - my Mom and I NEVER missed an episode. DS9 was one of my favs...... I have all iterations of Trek on DVD except "Enterprise" and all the movies - even the Kelvin timeline trilogy.
I'll add my voice to those who think DS9 is the most mature and well-plotted of all the Treks. Granted, the first season is a little rough at times, but it hits its stride in S2 and continues to improve all the way through seasons 5-6, which are phenomenal. The final season, while flawed in some ways, is still very good and wraps everything up in an epic 10-episode arc.
By far the best star trek series. Also, great job Nick explaining things to Coach. You didn't give too much away but it appeared to me gave Coach exactly the Intel he would need leading into further episodes
Storil, the Vulcan captain of the "Saratoga", was played by J. G. Hertzler, who will return later in the show, playing an important character.
Oh wow I did not know that.
I just came across your reaction. The only issue I have is that you're telling him everything about the show that he will find out just by watching it. You tell him about the station, what its purpose is, how it became the way it is, when it's in no way necessary for you to do so. The show explains it perfectly well.
You even went so far as to tell him what species play an important role in the series. The Changelings were just spoiled now. From the beginning of the series nobody knew if he was the last of his kind or not. When you first watched it, you didn't know. It was a mystery for the longest time. Yet here you are telling him that he's a member of that species and that they play an important role. So much for him thinking that Odo was the last of his kind for a long time. Now, instead of being surprised that they're a complete species and that they meet them, he's going to be expecting it.
I hope you aren't going to tell him everything about the episodes throughout the series. Just let him be surprised like you were when you first watched the series. You ruin the surprise even if you just say, "I can't wait until you see this." Instead of being surprised that something cool happens, he's now expecting something cool to happen and isn't surprised. All because you told him it was coming. You ruin the experience doing that.
I really hope that in the future you're just going to watch it with him and not tell him anything. Just act like you would if you were watching it by yourself again. Otherwise, as I mentioned, you ruin the experience.
I was going to say something similar. In the words of River Song "Spoilers!" Dang Nick!. Chill out! You even explained the Trill...the Trill were introduced in TNG! Coach should already know who that species is! Yes, they looked different but the rest of the Trekies figured it out. You even introduced Nog and his familial relationship to two other characters who themselves had not yet even been introduced! Let Coach experience the way everyone else experienced when they watched it for the first time. Don't hint at or reveal stuff he doesn't know.
DS9 is my favorite Star Trek series of all time
We are, you are, Deep Space Network? Enjoy, Coach.
Yassss just what I was looking for - a DS9 watch along! You’re in for a treat!
I recommend making a playlist for these.
I remember exactly where I was when I saw it for the first time. On a tiny color TV sitting on the kitchen island. I taped it on a VCR. Nana Visitor liked this role because it was a role for a female character that was not typically written for a woman.
At conventions i have met most of the main cast in this. They were all wonderful, but my personal favourites were Nicole DeBoer (who you will see eventually in season 7 as a main character), Terry Farrell (Jadzia Dax), Andrew Robinson (Garak) and Alexander Siddig (Julian Bashir).
One of the better series, Coach! Enjoy your DS9 experience. The Show runner is Ronald Moore.
I can't believe you've never watched DS9! Well, first time for everything. I have to agree with Nick about DS9 being the best Star Trek, not including the original of course, but definitely better than anything from TNG on.
During the opening credits when the comet goes by, you can see Spock's face as part of the comet trail just before the station shows up. Not many fans know of this bit of trivia. From a certain point of view, Spock's been in every episode of DS9. 😉
WOW I did not know that.
Wow, watched DS9 since childhood and didn't know that spock was in the cloud. I'll double check but can't wait to tell my Dad. Appreciate for the info!
@@yegmeshjwp I think it was on one of the DS9 DVD boxset special features, I checked it out and it's there.

By the Divine Treasury - I did not know that either!
My favourite Star Trek series.
The Deep Space Nine station is more or less the equivalent of a Western fronteir settlement with the military commander, the sheriff, the doctor and several other characters like that. They don't seek out the galaxy, the galaxy's problems and adventures comes to them
This is great I've been needing to watch this show I've watched voyager, tng, most of the old ones and the movies.
WOW.Nostalgic ride for me.GREAT series,My favorite too.When DS9 debuted Jan 3,1993,I had 5 months left in the navy,got out for over a year,entered the army Aug 2,1994(basic training,AIT school)when DS9 ended June 2,1999 I had 2yrs and 8 months left in the army. Got out before 9-11 hit tho.
This just popped up on my feed, I hope you do watch it all.
We will, for sure. :)
So glad to see someone taking on this series ❤️
It's going to be a fun journey for sure. :)
I just found this video and your channel. I am an instant subscriber and will follow you forever, you made me remember that Star Trek unites us and reminds us of our humanity, it sounds ridiculous and stupid and all that, but seriously, I'm with you guys 100% from here on, thank you
Welcome aboard. If you want please subscribe to our main channel as well: ruclips.net/channel/UC7Y1x_Bd8uvQ_gMMUpEmmoQ
Someone’s reacting to one of the best SciFi shows of all time (DS9)? You just earned a sub, my friend.
Excellent experience 👏 coach and with my favorite character s Dr Bashir Daxx and Mr Obrien along with Odo ..Kira And captain sisko and funny Quark among the star trek universe
My second favourite show. I’ve seen it five times over. Also if you recall I was pestering you to watch it from day one!
Keeping up with the Cardassians is a full time job. :)
Aw man, I grew up with this show, I always thought it was the best out of the lot
Starbase Deep Space 9 was going to be introduced in the two-part episode “chain of command” If you remember, Picard, Worf, and Dr. Crusher had to go visit a Ferengi for a discrete trip across the cardassian border. The dramatic line while they’re in the shuttlecraft Picard says “Set course for starbase deep space nine .” The problem is, deep space nine’s release was delayed by a week. So the line was changed to “set course for something five.” But they still kept the musical cue. The Ferengi they were supposed to meet was going to be Quark. And all these changes were literally last minute. Deep space nine would release during TNG’s sixth season. One thing they could’ve done, was change the line to “Set course for Bajorian station Terrok Nor (the stations, cardassian Lane before the Bajorans took it over) And still have everything stay the same. They can have the station be run down and have some Starfleet officers on board conducting repairs just as what we saw when Sisko first comes on board.
Just found this. A ds9 reaction is something I've always wanted to watch. Looking forward to your take on the best of trek!
The role for Kira was originally meant for Ro Laren. But Michelle Forbes turned it down because she didn’t wanna commit to six 26 episode seasons. The character was changed. But the character’s dialogue was not changed. It was meant for Ro. It did not take long for the writers to rework the character to fit Vistor.
Just discovered this channel and I've subscribed without hesitation been looking for this fix from someone lol.
It is going to be a fun ride for sure going through all the seasons. :)
During the meeting between Sisko & Picard, you could feel the temperature in the room drop to near freezing.
I know you're into the second season now, but I don't understand why you'd have someone watch for their first time and then spoil a bunch of stuff.
He already knew that Worf was in it.
@@NickTalksEntertainment which happens seasons later.
I know, right. The show explains itself perfectly well, so there's no need to spoil it for him.
@@chb2551I agree but it also seems like he’s a bit chatty and not paying full attention sometimes lol
@@Scott_Burtonbut as he said in his reply that you are replying to, his friend already knew about that
great intro
Although the first 2 seasons of Deep zspace were shaky and in mu opinion it needed bad guys like the Dominion .earlier ut there wee still some good episodes including one the best of the entire series with Harris Yulan and one of Nana Visitors finest hours in the episode Duet.
From the 3 Rd season onwards it became my favourite Star Trek series so far.
Just found your channel and subscribed while searching for a DS9 reaction series to start watching! Excited to see more!
We are getting back on it this next weekend and or maybe this Sunday. :)
theres an episode of TNG in season 6 called "Birthright" that had the DS9 space station and the characters crossover in it.
Just downloaded it I will show Coach these 2 episodes after we finish SE1 and start SE2
"YOU SEE THAT JJ!" hahaha subd
Before I watched this series I thought, what stories can this series tell? It's about a truck-stop in space. But after watching it my opinion has changed completely. It's an engaging political soap-opera set in a truck-stop in space. And once we really get deep into the series it gets pretty complex. I love the character arc of the current characters and those who join the cast in future episodes and it keeps the Gene Roddenberry story-telling ethos alive.
I recall tuning in for it and from the start was hooked.
Kira was who I liked the best in the pilot and remained my favorite. The Chief was always awesome. As for the others intro I was blah to Julian for a long time got better as things went in and when the dark family secret got revealed I liked him loads more. Dax was interesting but to me a while for the show and Terry to find her footing hit once they did loved it. Quark I only liked at first cause my live if Buffy and got to see the actor do more but he really grew fast for me that by season one end became my number three favorite character of the show. Loved later learning lore about his culture.
Odo was and remain the number two favorite of the series. And Sisko was so so for me. I loved the idea of him and the Prophets once that was fully embrace and from then in he became tied with Odo as my number two fav. Jake never really landed for me until the last two seasons. Nog became a HUGE shock for me ar what they did for him and how I got to love him. Same with Rom.
It was the baddies that this show really landed perfectly. Creating Dukat as a foe for not kinky Bajor but Sisko then adding the Dominion for Starfleet and the entire Alpha/Beta Quadrants icing in the cake. .
The cast crew from there and so did my love of the show. Never understood why others didn’t enjoy it then but now love it.
I cant wait to see more reactions with you guys. Deep space nine IMO is the best written Star trek series, I loved it
Hard to believe that this is a first watch. Best Trek ever.
well, you gentlemen are in for a treat..... give it time...
You need to watch "Trials and Tribbleations"
As a life long Trekkie I don't agree that DS9 is the best Star Trek series ;) , but it's some incredible sci-fi and I can imagine watching it for the first time now will make seeing what we're getting in modern entertainment even more of a disappointment
You don't need to explain it to him if you let him watch it and not talk over everything :)
Just had this video pop up on my feed, I was keen to see aomeone's first experience with the series. Before the 5 minute mark you're explaining to your channel partner the basics of the first 3 episodes politics. *_THANKS_* for burning that bridge. I mean, you didn't just set the bridge on fire, in the first 5 minutes (actually from about 3:30-5:30) you stuffed the first episodes with nitroglycerin and unloaded a cannon on it.
Enjoy your journey with DS9 Coach. It is in my opinion the best of the Star Trek spinoff's.
Hello there! I have always wanted to see a DS9 reaction series, and yours might be the first I've found on youtube. I'm a bit late to the party, but I can't wait to catch up! DS9 is my favorite Trek series by far, and I hope you enjoy it at least a fraction as much as I do! Welcome to the newest part of the Final Frontier! ^_^
Welcome aboard! The first part of SE2 is on our other channel "Echo Base Network" there is a playlist for it.
The first two seasons are a bit slow, but the series gets much better as it goes along.
"Get that lasagna out of me."
LOL :)
Coach is logical🖖🏻 DS9 is amazing. I can’t wait to discuss Star Trek with you🤓 “Get that lasagna out of me.” -Coach 2022
Shouldn't you have made sure to watch the episodes "Best of Both Worlds Parts one and two" and "Chain of Command Parts one and two" from Next Generation beforehand?
He has seen all of TNG already.
@@NickEBN79 Oh, thank god. Make sure your familiar with TNG before you watch Deep Space Nine. (and if you want to, from CoC onwards, feel free to watch episodes of DS9 with the corresponding Next Generation episode.)
@@NebLleb Yes, this episode begins days after Chain of Command part 2 (per stardate)
"....and the Kardashians.... spacefaring leather-wearing tyrants hell bent on world domination."
"...what?... what's that?.... oh, the *CARDASSIANS.* Also spacefaring leather-wearing tyrants hell bent on world domination."
Love what you're doing keep up the good work this is my favorite show of all time
Glad you enjoy it! It is mine as well and I am glad I am finally taking Coach through this show. :)
Jennifer was cool, but Cassidy Yates is both adorable and badass.
Cardassians, definitely not Kardashians! Yep i concur this is the best star trek tv series 🖖
I feel like you’re over-explaining some things that are stated only moments later anyways - but that aside, great reaction
Ds9 and voy my fav trek I always said if
TOS had TNG's level of effects it'd been a super series
TNG had DS9 and Voy's level of effects' it'd been a twice as popular.....
If DS9 and VOY had Discovery's level of effects, they'd be masterpieces
u guys rule
It really doesn't seriously pick up until season 4. But I still like much of it. TNG remains my favourite Star Trek, though. But the drama really is unparalleled in DS9.
I consider DS9 the best tv show with the Star Trek name.
But is it Star Trek?
this show resembles Babylon 5 because gene Roddenberry wife helped make show unlike her husband who liked concept of space exploration and you can tell.
This is the strangest "first time" reaction I've ever seen.
Is this a reaction to the show or to Larry the Cable Guy's constant narrative of spoilers? 🤔
This is why it took you a year to get 314 "likes". 😂
Star Trek
Gonna be that guy.....
Babylon 5 was better
Agreed! 👍
I have seen bits and pieces of B5 but have not watched the whole show.
@@NickTalksEntertainment it’s a great series.
It’s too bad Warner Bros ruined season 5.
But Hbomax has the entire series and it’s upscaled. And B5 has a lot of similarities to DS9.
@@NickTalksEntertainment The pilot and first season are a bit rough but it's well worth the watch from the beginning especially since a 5-season arc where things happen in the first seasons apply to things happening later on. There's also a scene from two different seasons' perspective that really turn the show on it's head and I thought was best kind of storytelling I've ever seen.
There are quite a few similarities with DS9 also and that's due to JMS tried selling to Paramount a few years before DS9 aired and he had a complete 5-year outline of the story from the beginning that he showed Paramount. You can compare key events from each season and see how both series line up almost perfectly.
DS9 is my favorite post TOS Star Trek series but I like B5 a lot better.
Strongly recommend you watch the DVD version since it's widescreen and you won't have the black bars on the sides like you will the new upscaled version from HBO. It's a shame HBO didn't upscale the widescreen version.
All the people who react to ds9 lose interest before it gets good it literally happens every single time. I wish someone would stick with it.
Coach is out but I am going to get someone else who has never seen it to pick up where we left off.
@@NickTalksEntertainment That's unfortunate.
TNG is objectively the best
Um, why is the dude on the right, spoiling every plot point of this 2-hour premiere during the opening credits?! He's acting like he's catching up his buddy on the necessary lore, but that shit hasn't been said yet! (Has it? Now I'm confused! lol)
A few minutes later...
He's spoiling the 7-year run of the series, wtf?!
We're supposed to believe for a while, as Odo does, that he is unique... Dude just told his buddy that changelings, Odo's race, are important to the show! I expect him to reveal who wins all of the goddamn wars, any minute now! 🙄
Holy crap, have I stumbled onto one of those channels that only watch the first and last episodes (and bitch about how they didn't "get it"), and I'm the one sounding crazy right now? lol (Nope, not crazy... they did more episodes.)
Frankly, if I were the dude on the left, I wouldn't want to watch anything with the dude on the right, ever... Way too spoilery! Better to watch alone than to be treated like a slow child.
I dont mean to tell you how to make reactions, but imo, please refrain from revealing everything ahead of time. "Yeah so okay, this guy seems decent now, but in the end its actually lukes father, and luke kill him in the end, also leija is lukes brother. Lets enjoy!"
Well to be fair I really did not give anything away, but your point is noted. :)
This was unfortunately a let down. DS9 is my favorite and I hoped for a true blind reaction.
Why the hell are you telling the blind watcher the entire plot story and setting instead of letting the show itself do it? Because it does. I swear it is nonstop spoilers from the guy on the right.
This was not a "First Watch", this was a "Let me watch this show with someone else in the room so I can constantly tell him everything that happened and will happen."
The other guy mentioned how he hadn't said anything in 5 minutes, but that's because the other guy kept a constant stream of talking like he was watching with someone else who had seen the show and were MSTK3K'ing it.
That is just how we roll, I was trying to keep his interest because he was loosing it quick and now we are not even doing this any longer because he ultimately lost interest.
Not to get too deep into this, but isn't it possible the person was losing interest because everything was being told to them instead of seeing it in the show? You know, show and don't tell for a better experience in media.@@NickTalksEntertainment
Don't talk react
WOW.Nostalgic ride for me.GREAT series,My favorite too.When DS9 debuted Jan 3,1993,I had 5 months left in the navy,got out for over a year,entered the army Aug 2,1994(basic training,AIT school)when DS9 ended June 2,1999 I had 2yrs and 8 months left in the army. Got out before 9-11 hit tho.
