    Storyline

    Edit
    Odo has found his home on a rogue planet in the Omarion nebulae. A female shapeshifter tells they were once a race of explorers, that was always rejected by the 'solids', the ordinary human beings. She encourages him to learn about their ways so he will be ready for their manner of bonding via the Great Link. Kira in the meantime tries to send a message to Sisko, but finds out all outgoing frequencies are blocked by a subterranean device. Meanwhile Sisko and Bashir are on a runabout when they are being rescued by Dax and O'Brien. They appear to have made contact with the Founders and convinced them of their peaceful intentions. A grand peace meeting is already scheduled, one of the Founders is already on Deep Space Nine. Sisko starts having doubts about the agreement when he finds out the Romulans are excluded from the negotiations and the Jem'Hadar can do whatever they want on the station. —Arnoud Tiele (imdb@tiele.nl)

    • Trivia
      The monolith that is seen several times in the background of the garden on the Shapeshifters' planet is almost identical to the monolith which appeared in The Alternate (1994) as a 'relic of Odo's people'.
    • Goofs
      While Kira is trying to send a signal from the shuttle craft, Odo walks up and asks if she's had any luck. He gets to the doorway and keeps going without ducking, and his head brushes against the top of the doorway and makes a slight whooshing sound.

      Quark: I have a dream - a dream that one day all people, Human, Jem'Hadar, Ferengi, Cardassians will stand together in peace... around my dabo tables!

    What In The World Is The Federation Thinking?????
    Quick Review:

    You are going to like this second part of the season 3 premiere!

    A LOT of story lines are brought to fulfillment.

    A LOT of spoilers if I even attempt a review.

    You WILL meet the Founders.

    You WILL get entirely frustrated with the way the Federation is handling "peace talks" back at DS9 while the heroes of the series are in the Gamma Quadrant fighting the Dominion and holding on for their dear lives.

    Kira and Odo????

    Odo's description to Kira of being a bird, changing into one to see what it feels like to be a bird - is way out there man.

    You need to hang on this episode to the very end.

    Intensity of emotions.

    One of the best episodes of the series to date.
