Goofs

When the Defiant and the Rotarran join the mixed Klingon/Federation fleet, several Galaxy-class vessels, being the most notorious among others, have no registry number or identification at all. Also, there are three small ships that would appear to be Defiant-class, although the Defiant itself was said to be the only one in service. See more »

A prelude to war
23 July 2010 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

As the fifth season of Deep Space Nine comes to a close things are looking bleak; more and more Dominion ships are coming through the wormhole and heading to Cardassia. To make matters worse an increasing number of Alpha Quadrant races are signing non-aggression treaties with the Dominion. Knowing that the peace will not last Sisko decides to start the war before the Dominion can amass an unbeatable force in the Alpha Quadrant. To do this they start to mine the opening of the wormhole. As soon as they start the Dominion launch an attack on the station and it is a race against time to finish laying the mines before the Dominion can get through the defences and prevent it being completed. It isn't all doom and gloom though; Rom finally marries the beautiful Leeta and Worf and Jadzia get engaged although by the end of the episode both couples are separated and the Federation have been forced to abandon Deep Space Nine.

This was a great season finale with a fine cliff hanger ending, the station may have fallen but Sisko has left a subtle message to let Gul Dukat know he intends to return. The battle scenes were amongst the best seen in any Star Trek episode to date as a large Dominion fleet takes on the station's defences. As good as the action was the size of the Federation Fleet that the Defiant joins in the closing scene suggests that even larger battles will be seen in the next series.
