Season 1 Review: Here is one of the finest new shows of a dismal season. [4 Jan 1993]

Houston ChronicleBruce WestbrookJun 25, 2013
Season 1 Review: Make no mistake: This show has an edge. ... And though the familiar 'to boldly go' speech is missing from its titles, this may be the boldest 'Star Trek' of them all. [3 Jan 1993]

Chicago TribuneRick KoganJun 25, 2013
Season 1 Review: Satisfyingly edgier than its cousin "Star Trek: The Next Generation," "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" premieres ... with a moneyed high-tech look and great special effects, a cast of interesting and weird-looking characters and, wonderfully, a heart and soul. [3 Jan 1993]

Season 1 Review: A first cabin production with superb special effects, an intelligent script and an intricate plot. [5 Jan 1993]

Season 1 Review: I'm persuaded the [Star Trek franchise] has truly entered adulthood for the first time. ... The show does what all good science fiction should, which is to offer an allegory of the present and a model for the future. [7 Jan 1993]

Season 1 Review: This collection of characters - with all their quirks, quarks and nose jobs - is a winner. The women are strong. The men are sensitive. The life forms are testy. [5 Jan 1993]

San Diego Union-TribuneArthur SalmJun 25, 2013
Season 1 Review: If there's a weakness to "Deep Space Nine," it lies in the too-cutesy, superherolike abilities of some of the crew. ... But like "The Next Generation," "Deep Space Nine" is light-years ahead of the original "Star Trek" series. [3 Jan 1993]

Cleveland Plain DealerTom FeranJun 25, 2013
Season 1 Review: It may not be the Second Coming, which is how hard-core fans have awaited it, but it's a lavish and inventive spectacle that lives up to "Star Trek" tradition and shows why the franchise has flourished. [7 Jan 1993]

The New York TimesJohn J. O'ConnorJun 25, 2013
Season 1 Review: Traditional Trekkies may object to the grit and occasional flippancy of the cheeky spinoff. The rest of us are likely to feel, at least for the time being, fairly optimistic about the future of "Deep Space 9." Mr. Brooks's performance alone is certainly encouraging. [7 Jan 1993]

Season 1 Review: There's a laid-back nature to the performance that sometimes slows down the proceedings. [4 Jan 1993]

Season 1 Review: It's not as good as "Star Trek: The Next Generation." The premiere strikes me as a "Star Trek: The De-generation." It doesn't seem to go beyond where no "Star Trek" has gone before, or even where the other one had been creatively. [7 Jan 1993]
