Star Trek:Deep Space Nine Season 2, Episode 1-10

2x1 The Homecoming September 26,1993

Frank Langella is uncredited as a Minster of the Provisional Government.The plot of this 3 part story begins when Quark gets a piece of Bajorian Jewelry,shows it to Kira and next thing we know she is leading an escape attempt of Cardassia IV. She gets Li Nalas,a Bajorian war hero,long thought dead. Under orders of the Minster Kira returns to Bajor and Li Nalas is the new liaison.

2x2 The Circle October 3,1993

Without checking I thought this was a 2 hour season premier cut into 2 episodes for syndication. It is not, it is a stand alone episode that continues the story from last week, a first for the Star Trek franchise. The Show is growing up in terms of what they expect the audience to be able to handle. Well done.

2x3 The Siege October 10,1993

I am impressed a 3 part story line. Someone complex,especially for 1993. The story line works and leaves a lot the writers can play around with in terms of Bajorians relationship with Cardassians and The Federation.Louise Fletcher has been in all episodes, as was a nice Guest Star with Steven Weber and Richard Beymer.

2x4 Invasive Procedures October 17,1993

I am becoming convinced Jadzia Dax is the most interesting character in the Star Trek Universe. The Symbiant is 800 years old and has been in 8 different persons (Host). I love that Sisko best friend is the previous host, a male and he calls Jadzia "Old Man".The relationship is touching, as touching as any other in the series. In this episode someone takes the station hostage and the symbiant is transferred in him and will Jadzia die or can Sisko convince Dax to go back, this is really an absorbing episode.

2x5 Cardassians October 24,1993

This was an episode that drug for some reason. I am not sure why.A Cardassian boy seems to be rejecting his Cardassian heritage.

2x6 Melora October 31,1993

Another episode that really works, Melora Pazlar is from a planet that has light gravity,they send few to Star fleet academy. She is wheel chair and wears heavy braces and moves around with great difficulty. Melora asks for little special consideration.
Melora and Dr. Bashir seem to get along really well, which is great, It is about he got a girlfriend. Can it work out, he can spend little time in her gravity. He works out treatment that allows her to adapt for brief periods of time. There is also a story about a high jacked shuttle craft. The heart of the story is well acted and written. The zero g kiss is wonderful.







2x7 Rules of Acquisition November 7,1993

The Rule with TNG was any Klingon episode was going to be good. With Deep Space Nine, if it centers around Ferengis, it will be highly entertaining. We find out Dax's favorite race are Ferengi's, her playing cards with them is a lot of fun.

2x8 Necessary Evil November 14,1993

Flashback : Kira (with long hair) and Odo aboard the station during the Cardassian occupation. The main plot is Odo is investigating a murder. Fun stuff, done without the help of Sherlock Holmes.

2x9 Second Sight November 21,1993

Remember that Sisko is a widower.He begins to fall for a woman who is mysterious and not at all what she seems by the end of the story.

2x10 Sanctuary November 28,1993

This is an episode with a lot of good moments. Aliens come through the worm hole and no one can understand them. I have wondered about this, the ship uses a Universal Translator. The Crew can only guess at the odd behavior of the Skerreans. Once they can understand each other, they request asylum for the race of 3 Million. This is well written,always interesting, the episode is played at a high emotional level. I would like to meet Skerreans again.

I have been a little slow on getting through the season. That is not a reflection on my opinion of the season so far.
