Storyline

Deep Space Nine detects an unknown ship coming from the Gamma Quadrant at the other side of the wormhole. The ship has severe engine trouble and its pilot seems very nervous and reluctant to accept any help. Finally O'Brien convinces him to come on board. He introduces himself as Tosk and he apparently comes from a very different culture as he understands nothing of the ways of the Alpha Quadrant. He claims the wormhole caused the ship's problems. O'Brien seems to really like the guy, but senses quickly he has a secret. He also finds out Tosk lied, discovering his ship has weapons damage. Then Tosk is caught by Odo trying to open a weapons locker.

User Reviews

Great premise

I really like this episode especially watching it a second time, knowing what Task knew. There is a little bit vilifying Hunters per usual in the Star Trek universe. I wish we had replicators, until then hunting is the most ethical way to get your meat. I'm not a hunter I have alpha-gal. back to the episode I think it was really great one of those that makes your mind work, and you might be thinking about it when you're trying to go to bed tonight. Love Star Trek love the way it makes you think.
