Deep Space Nine: What We Left Behind

What We Left Behind: Looking Back At Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is very much for the fans, starting with a gag, then another gag, then a high-def remake of a space battle interrupted by another gag. Presented by showrunner Ira Steven Behr, it ranges over the history of the series, reminiscences from cast and crew, and features a writers’ room reunion breaking how to start a new season now. Which, hey, I would watch. And would have also read the graphic novel version which was suggested but not taken up.

(I thought the montage of social issues the series reflected was lovely, though I wish it hadn’t included a certain political figure I want to forget exists as soon as possible.)

It gets its above-PG rating with an F-bomb from Andy Robinson describing Garak’s opinion of Bashir.
