Star Trek: Deep Space Nine // S06E13: Far Beyond the Stars

what gets me about far beyond the stars is that unlike other sci-fi or supernatural shows that have a “maybe it’s all a dream” episode, this episode ends with hope that even if the entirety of star trek is just benny’s imagination, just his dream, what a good dream it is

There is little I can say about "Far Beyond the Stars" (S06E13, Stardate Unknown) that has not already been said. It is a masterpiece episode that succeeds on every premise it attempts. This would have been impossible to pull off with any other cast, and Avery's performance is mesmerizing.

I really wanted to do something different for this poster than just Benny or Ben looking at their reflection in the window. And the line of "dreamer and the dream" just kept coming back to me. I really like how this one turned out.

Watching Far Beyond the Stars for Avery Brooks' birthday (after watching the pilot of A Man Called Hawk). This man is too good in so very many ways...

Ira Steven Behr on 7th Rule talking about the great Avery Brooks. As always, Ira has some really great insights about DS9 and the evolution of writing for Avery as Sisko. Really, really enjoyed this interview. Sisko was such a ground-breaking character, and Avery is such a phenomenal actor. It hurts me so much that Hollywood has not valued his talent.

Touches lightly on Sisko's PTSD, his evolution and disconnect between the way the show originally envisioned the way they saw Sisko and the way Avery's performativity, Sisko as a loving single Black father (which was a really rare thing on television at the time), the tone of DS9, found family, differences between DS9 and other Treks, Avery approaching the producers/writers asking for his quarters to have a more African/Black theme and off-duty clothes, experience with Network/Studios regarding Black characters in the show, Avery's similarity to Benny Russell, Avery's impact on Ira as a person.

"... We must accept that Benny Russell would've been a sex freak, like every other scifi author who put pen to paper in the 1960s..."

Strange New World's The Elysian Kingdom revealed that Benny Russell from Deep Space NIne's Far Beyond the Stars wrote the book the Elysian Kingdom. Does this revelation make sense and what does it mean for the lore of Star Trek?

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds gave us a Deep (Space Nine) cut.
