When I watch DS9 before, something came up and I stopped watching it. I wasn't driven to go back because while the third season was pretty good, it didn't grab me that intensely. This episode really brought me back into the fold. Here we are brought into a set of conflicts involving the Klingons, the Cardassians, the Bajorans, and others. The Klingons heavy handedly move into the station and begin pushing people around. They have decided to do battle with the Cardassians, assuming the Federation will join them. They seem to think that joining the Federation gives them privileges. Meanwhile there are beatings and confrontations, with Sisko having to stand up for the principles of Starfleet. The central figure that makes and impact and causes a great deal of tribulation, is our friend Worf, who served on the Enterprise with Picard. This is a sophisticated episode that follows political and philosophical motivations. Excellent.
