    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Dax is hesitant about jumping to warp inside the Bajoran star system. In Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), Captain Kirk had to risk jumping to warp inside Earth's solar system to intercept V'ger as soon as possible. Also, in order to achieve time-warp velocity by slingshotting around the Sun, Kirk and crew traveled at warp inside the solar system again in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986) (they even initiated warp speed while still in Earth's atmosphere for the return trip). And don't forget The Picard Maneuver.
    • Goofs
      There is no reason for the Dominion to have the Runabout that Worf and Garak were captured in to be parked in orbit over the internment camp. It would've made more sense to destroy it, or at the very least, study it to figure out weaknesses in Federation technology.
    • Quotes

      General Martok: There is no greater enemy than one's own fears.

      Lt. Commander Worf: It takes a brave man to face them.

    Lots of Suspense, Good Characters, and a Sophisticated Plot
    I wrote the last time about war and violence. This is a given in this series because the station is always on delicate ground. But what separates this are the actions of some characters. Worf is incredibly heroic. Garak, the mystery man, rises above his superfluity. And the plot set forth by the Dominion is really unique. Gul Dukat, who used to be a bit ingratiating, turns out to be more villainous than ever. This is no surprise because what he did to the Bajorans during his reign is nothing short of sadistic. His daughter, whom he supposedly adores, is thrown to the flames at the first sign of rebelliion (I don't mean literally, of course). He will be a force to reckong with for two more seasons after this, I suspect. This is a superior episode. The two together may be the best so far.
