    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      "Valiant" was the original intended name for the Defiant, but development of Star Trek: Voyager (1995) saw a directive handed down from executives that DS9's starship couldn't have a name that began with V too, as they were concerned about causing confusion for the audience.
    • Goofs
      Watters claims a battlefield commission, but his story later is that he took over when the actual commissioned officers were all killed. The death of a superior officer would only place him in command until a commissioned officer would arrive. As such, Nog, being commissioned already, should automatically become the ship's captain upon his arrival.
    • Quotes

      Nog: You gonna write a story about all this?

      Jake Sisko: Probably.

      Nog: What are you going to say?

      Jake Sisko: What do you think I should say?

      Nog: That it was a good ship, with a good crew, that made a mistake. We... let ourselves blindly follow Captain Watters, and he led us over a cliff.

      Chief Dorian Collins: That's not true. Captain Watters was a great man.

      Jake Sisko: Dorian, he got everyone killed.

      Chief Dorian Collins: If he failed, it's because we failed him.

      Nog: [to Jake] Put that in your story too. Let people read it, and decide for themselves.

      [Nog gives Dorian his Red Squad insignia]

      Nog: He may have been a hero. He may even have been a great man. But in the end, he was a bad captain.

    Star Trek, Jr.
    In the show "Star Trek: The Next Generation", Wesley was one of the most hated characters in the series. Imagine an entire crew of Wesley Crushers!! Oh, the humanity! Inexplicably, that's kind of what happened here with "Valiant"...and entire ship where the crew are teens!! If the idea sounds really dumb, then you kind of have the idea of this show!

    Then the show begins, Nog and Jake are on a runabout and they're being chased by a Jem'Hadar ship. Fortunately for them (and not the audience), the USS Valiant arrives to save their young butts. The pair are shocked, however, when they are beamed aboard the Valiant and find that the crew is made up entirely by the teenagers from Red Squad (an elite group of Starfleet cadets). Nog is in love with the idea--but Jake things the Captain of the ship is a nutter who is addicted to stimulants.

    In many ways, this is like watching an episode of "Muppet Babies". While just about everyone likes the Muppets, this show was marketed to small children and was nausea-inducing for almost everyone else. Embarrassingly bad and stupid--so much so that it makes you wonder if the show had simply run out of ideas. Nuff said....
