Re: S2E1 - The Homecoming

I selected this episode because this is DS9s foray into Serialized storytelling. This episode kicks off the 3-episode arc. Overall, I think that this episode does a good job of setting up the situation and introducing Li, the war hero. I really like that Li is not the hero that everyone thinks he is...

S1E19 - In The Hands of the Prophets

I selected this episode because it introduces two important characters Vedek Winn and Vedek Barell. This episode centers around the conflict that Vedek Winn has with Keiko's teachings at the school on the station. Vedek Winn is a orthodox Bajorian and believes that Keiko's science-based teaching is ...

S1E18 - Duet

I selected this episode for personal reasons. This is the episode that made me fall in love with this series. This episode is a deep and dark drama. It could not be more opposite than TNG. It is a 2-character play between Kira and Marritza (played by Harris Yulin). This episode is a series of twists...

S1E16 - The Foresaken

I included this episode in our viewing because of the appearance of Lwaxana Troi. This is another episode, where TNG is helping to get DS9 off and rolling. We get a cameo by another great secondary TNG character. This episode has a personal story with Odo and Lwaxana, Julian handling diplomats, and ...

S1E15 - If Wishes Were Horses

I selected this episode because it introduces an important symbol into the series, Sisko's baseball. This episode is a bit weird. It goes the route of a holo-deck accident, then looks like a space anomaly, but in the end, it winds up being a first contact episode. The idea of people's imaginations r...

S1E12 - Battle Lines

I selected this episode because of what happens to Kai Opaka. This is a good science and culture story, about the Ennis and Nol-Ennis, and the situation they have been put in; one of eternal conflict. But really this is just a metaphor for Kira. There is an early twist with Opaka dying when they cra...

Re: S1E11 - Vortex

(PK I think you mean Battle Lines.) I picked this episode because this is the first time in the series the word Changling is spoken. This episode is a good non-Star Fleet story. The story mainly stays focused on Quark who is dealing with the Miradorns and Odo who meets someone from the gamma quadran...
