| Review : |
This may be the only episode which shows us the plight of the Maquis, or soon-to-be Maquis, in a sympathetic light. In DS9, the Maquis seem to be written off by the Federation as terrorists who must be captured or stopped. There is only a bit of lip-service paid to their situation and why they're doing what they're doing. This episode shows you the situation from the colonists' perspective (which we can all imagine anyway regardless of being force-fed Starfleet's opinion) and it's well, well worth watching, with this being just about the only time I remember seeing a Starfleet officer go rogue. |
