after the occupation!
As I'm sure you've noticed by now, I'm not a big fan of

protect the Rubican(a shuttle) as they attempt to

Sisko wrestles with decisions he made to try to lure
the Romulans into the war against the Dominion! In
the process, he bribes, counterfeits, and generally goes
against everything he believes in to succeed!
Andrew Robinson does a great job in this, but the
main problem is that Avery Brooks has to carry 90%
of this show, and he is, to me, a very weak actor at
best! Not a fan of this episode!

One of the best epsodes, with the great James Darrin

Darrin sounds really great in this!

Dax, Chief O'Brien, Quark, Morn & Captain Sisko
Darrin sings several tunes here, including "Come Fly

by a group of Jem'Hadar war ships!! Not looking good for
the young friends! They are rescued by the ship Valiant,

in an episode of TNG where they were responsible for another
cadets death, but lied about what happened, including Ensign
Wesley Crusher!) They had to take control of the ship when
the main crew of the ship were either killed or badly wounded!

Nog, Major Kira, Lt. Commander Worf, Captain Sisko & Dr.

Keiko O'Brien, Chief O'Brien, Kirayoshi O'Brien, Major Kira,

Commander Worf, Quark, Morn & Captain Sisko!
For the first time in many episodes, Keiko, Molly and
Kirayoshi O'Brien return to the show! And the girl that
plays the older Molly does a really good job!! A very sad
but sweet episode! A+

From an IMDb.com customer:
I just recently bought the DVDs for my son because
we had just finished watching STNG on DVD. I have
tried to get into this show but I just can't. I
don't feel the acting is up to par of STNG. I
actually liked the optimistic, TNG. I am already
tired of the politics of DS9; tired of the
Cardassians, tired of the prophets and tired
of the Ferengi. I can't imagine watching 5 more
seasons with my son! I just may have to relegate
the show to my playroom. However, I miss Picard,
I miss Riker, Data, Geordi, Troi and Dr. Crusher.
That show felt like family. I can't even relate
to this cast. My favorite of the DS9 cast is Dr.
Bashir. He's just such a cutie.
I can see why this show polarized fans. You either
love it or you don't. I'm hoping the seasons get
better (I've read they do)but my enjoyment of this
show pales in comparison to TNG, which did have
dark episodes. They just weren't the primary focus,
thank God. - KittyMurray12
