[Retro Review] What You Leave Behind; DS9 Series Finale

In comparison to it's predecessors, Deep Space Nine is a show that built on it's concept expanding in story, setting and character unlike we'd seen before. In bringing the series to a close, it wasn't just a one and done grand finale. It was the culmination of story threads reaching back from the beginning; from the spiritual state of Bajor and the aliens they heralded as Gods, to the slow creeping Dominion threat that became all out war that dragged in nearly every faction that set foot on the station.

Infinite diversity in infinite combinations. That's the mantra of Star Trek fans across the world. Yet when it came to alien life the infinite combinations and diversity often came down to face-paint and prosthetics on noticeably normal people. There's little to separate human and Betazoid aside from dark eyes. Vulcans are human looking with pointed ears. Even the reptilian Cardassians have human features buried under rubber and glue.
