What We Left Behind: Looking Back at Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

About This Movie

So, this documentary, 'What We Left Behind,' delves into the rich tapestry of 'Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,' which is fascinating considering it initially had a rough reception. The film captures that whole journey from being sort of the odd one out in the Star Trek family to really carving out its own space. The pacing feels just right, allowing for thoughtful reflections from the original writers on what an eighth season might have looked like, which is kind of a dream for die-hard fans. You can sense the fondness and nostalgia, especially when they discuss the themes of morality and diversity that the show tackled. There’s also a nice blend of archival footage and fresh interviews that keeps it engaging throughout.
