Here we are, an absolutely top notch action episode from stem to stern. We saw plenty of the battle, from the Jutland-style stand-off bombardment to the absolute furball at the end. I loved the moment when the Klingons came out of the sun (that's how it looked) and headed straight for the thickest of the fighting. That's Klingons for you! On DS9, we had Dukat at his evil best, explaining to Weyoun how to enjoy a victory, to leave your enemies alive so that you can gloat. Quark came through at the end, and Odo finally came to his senses. Still, it was not quite in time to prevent the spectacular fireworks show. The events in the wormhole were a genuine deus ex machina, but not a cheat. The Prophets are bound to have some interest in Bajor, so it makes sense that they would do something in the end. After all, it's their wormhole. Finally, here we all are, back where we belong. |

The one thing I've always loved about DS9 is the fact that they developed all the characters so well, even the chief antagonist (Dukat). ***SPOILER ALERT*** When Ziyal is killed by Dumar, Marc Alaimo's portrayal of Dukat's utter despair is nearly tear jerking. The rest of the episode is epic, and sets up the rest of Season 6's themes of War and the reprocussions of it. By and by, a staple of DS9, and perhaps one of my favorite episodes across all of the series. |
