Synopsis: Following the destruction of the starship Honshu, Sisko is severely injured and trapped alone on a deserted planet with Dukat, who becomes increasingly unstable.
Review: I’m not sure how I feel about this descent of Dukat’s character. I mean, it makes sense that he would go mad based on what’s happened to him. But I’ve never really cared for the trope of talking to hallucinations. I can’t speak from experience, but most people who have visual hallucinations don’t have quite this kind of specific and elaborate production. I guess it just felt a bit over the top.
Synopsis: An accident on the planet Golana sends Molly O’Brien through a time portal three hundred years into the past into an uninhabited world. Beamed back too late, Molly returns to the present eighteen years old with no immediate recollection of her life or her family.
Review: One of those plots that lacks a lot of tension as there’s little doubt that the writers don’t plan to kill off Molly but still a decent watch as Meaney pulls as much drama out of it as he can. I like that they portray feral Molly as realistic as they can and also treat her respectfully and therapeutically. Ultimately, however, it’s just not terribly interesting.
Review: Ezri Dax’s “Hello” would have more impactful if her name wasn’t in the credits, though that’s a trifle. I always enjoy Ben’s conversations with his father, and finding out there’s an underground Bajoran cult that worships the Pah-Wraith is pretty cool. The stabbing was a tense moment for sure.
Review: DS9 religious episodes start to all sound the same after a while with the same 101 philosophy orated strongly as if it’s moving stuff. It ain’t. But this episode kicks into high gear the moment we discover that the new baby in the Pah Wraith cult is Cardassian. The rest of the episode is a predictable reimagining of the Jonestown Massacre, but it’s fun to watch Dukat’s ongoing descent into madness.
Review: An occasionally effectively creepy episode marred by horror tropes and Ezri’s constantly furled brows that do nothing to elicit emotion from me.
Synopsis: Doctor Bashir ends up falling in love with a new officer when he develops a way for her to function in a high gravity environment. Meanwhile, Quark receives a death threat from one of his former associates..
Review: I’ve never been a big fan of episodes with a special character, especially when the special character is conveniently there to save the day using her special ability.
Synopsis: The discovery of a 30,000 year old Bajoran tablet buried under the holy city of B’hala announces the Reckoning, the time when the future of Bajor will be decided.
Synopsis: Alexander Rozhenko joins the crew of the Rotarran, much to the disappointment of Worf. On Terok Nor, Tora Ziyal returns to the station where Dukat intends to use her to get closer to Major Kira.
Synopsis: When Grand Nagus Zek is kidnapped by the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance while on a business trip into the “mirror universe”, Quark and Rom follow him there.
Review: The final mirror universe episode is pretty disappointing, and not just because it focuses on a bunch of Ferengi. I just felt like they could have done something more grandiose, with some finality, rather than leaving it open-ended.
