Quotes
Weyoun: Pah-wraiths and Prophets. All this talk of gods strikes me as nothing more than superstitious nonsense.
Damar: You believe that the Founders are gods, don't you?
Weyoun: That's different.
Damar: [laughs] In what way?
Weyoun: The Founders *are* gods.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine S6 Ep26 (written by Neil Leslie Gilbert-Williams-Jacksnephew

Star Trek Deep Space Nine S6 Ep26

Opening scenes seem to groom viewer into conflict. Destruction of cling-ons.

As unconcurrent with Star Trek pictures, I'm unaware fictional status of Federation of planets. However, forsee Star Trek being only productive as series's about conflicts (war with many battles). Perhaps this would entertain Directors & officers along with organisations involving ranks or their families?

Thoughts about cling-ons and aliens is like racism ('speciesism').

Scenes previously viewed of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine addressed issues and themes about subordinates and orderly. In addition, addresses romance and relationships.

I would think that teleportation is used by authorized beings. Teleportation isn't likely to be available to non-authorised personal-beings (I was authorised to be teleported by an Angel in AD:198/5 during my holiday leave from planet Earth).

Would think Star Wars series and movies will need updating if depicted as basic technologies aren't featured and challenged.

Enjoyed set, excellent makeup, marvelous costumes, intermediate dialogue, entertaining screenplay.
