Sisko's Best Command Decisions

[Vic]

Hey, hey! Nothin' wrong with bein' "provincial"!

One of my very favourite Sisko moments is when he's deploying the minefield and Weyoun comes and orders it removed. Sisko says no, and Weyoun gives him a sob story about Cardassian children starving. The meeting ends on a cordial, friendly note, like many negotiations do in Trek... and in the very next instant we see Sisko with his senior staff saying "They're going to attack. He spun a lot of BS, but I didn't buy it for a second and he knew I didn't." It just made me smile so much to see that Sisko played along with Weyoun whilst seeing right through him.

And besides, I love Weyoun's incredulous "You will not ALLOW?!" and Sisko's "You heard me!"

Mining the wormhole in general, one of Sisko's greatest moments. It didn't "win the war" quite - the Cardassians did remove it eventually, after all. But the minefield, and it's subsequent replacement by the Prophets decision to take sides, did make the war winnable.

It was a great decision. The Dominion had to pour considerable resources into taking the station, and even then they failed to take down the minefield, meaning they had to rely on their assets in the Alpha Quadrant.

Still, can't help feeling the war would have been a lot shorter and a lot lest costly for the Federation had the plan been approved a lot sooner.

The incidents in In The Pale Moonlight. Probably my greatest episode of the entirety of trek. Nice to see a captain that is actually human, instead of sitting high on his/her moral pedestal.
