Cast members seemed to have hit their stride and played off one another more assuredly than before. For example, Odo's character took several additional interesting twists, especially in his relationship with Kira. Rene Auberjonois had a very good year, directing two episodes to boot. Avery Brooks had begun this trend with the previous year's penultimate show. The real surprise was seeing Jonathan Frakes's name working behind the camera on three occasions, because he also appeared on screen in his alternate rogue Riker role, when Thomas dramatically steals the Defiant. Other welcome cameos that aided the feeling of casual camaraderie included the return of Lwaxana Troi, as well as first appearances by Quark's mother, the spooky Founder Leader, the lovely Leeta, and the sneaky Eddington. Clint Howard--a cult Trek figure--was briefly welcomed back, and with the many faces of Jeffrey Combs another was born. Stories advanced the complicated Bajoran/Cardassian healing process, while simultaneously brewing potential conflicts far worse than the behind-the-scenes ratings war. --Paul Tonks

Customer Reviews of Star Trek Deep Space Nine - The Complete Third Season
The Dominion rears its ugly head This season saw fewer episodes that were complete wastes of time and more that were connected with important plot points vital to the show's main story. Major side characters die (or seem to die), the Romulans come for an unexpected twist of menace in the Visionary and the excellent two parter which begins with Improbable Cause and ended with the shocking The Die is Cast. We learn just how smart the Dominion is and a possible future in the misleading The Search. Normally I would call episodes like Fascination a waste of time but something about Avery Brooks' fine direction made it enjoyable. It could be called the DS9 Christmas Special with unlikely romances coming right and left. We learn more about Dax through Equilibrium and Facets and the hilarious episode Prophet Motive where Quark meets the Prophets. It is sort of a parody of the encounter that Sisko had in "Emissary." If the season had any weak points, it would of have to have been Meridian, Explorers and to some extent, Family Business. I enjoyed all the subtle looks into Ferengi culture such as having to pay for everything: coming in one's house, using the elevator, sitting down, standing. Nog also makes his intentions to join Starfleet known. It is altogether a satisfying season
The calm before the storm
Well, maybe not calm, as there are several exciting episodes in this third season set of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine". But we're still at the point where things have yet to really jump into fourth gear. That happens in season 4, where "Star Trek: The Next Generation" fan favorite Worf joins the DS9 cast, and the Dominion fully emerges as this series' main deadly adversary. But make no mistake, season 3 offers some great stories that deliver many wonderful character moments and lots of excitement and danger for our intrepid heroes. Oh, and Sisko looks good in the new beard. As usual, there are generous, well organized extras on the final disc of this set.
Gathering Steam
Season three, while it doesn't have as many excellent episodes as some of the others, has some of the best. "Explorers" and "Improbable Cause/Die is Cast" are good examples. Primarily, we see the Dominion War arc and some character arcs that would dominate the later series begin to gather steam.
