Star Trek:Deep Space Nine Season 2,Episode 22-26

2x22 The Wire  May 8,1994

Background on Cardassians and the mysterious figure of Garek, not a tailor. This is an episode that is heavily into the over all plot of Cardassians,spies,Bajorian and The Federation.

2x23 Crossover May 15,1994

Remember the mirror universe mentioned in the original series ? Spock with the beard ? Well so do the writers.This episode is a lot of fun as can Kira and Bashir escape. The events in TOS had a major impact in that universe. This is a clever,superior episode.

2x24 The Collaborator May 22,1994

Louise Fletcher as Vedek Winn is creepy and villainous. She is really fun to watch. This is a heavily political episode.One of my favorite political ploys in the series is the stalling tactics Sisko used to keep ships in the dock. Inspections could take "Days or weeks" Kira tells a smiling Vedek Winn.

2x25 Tribunal June 5,1994

The O'Briens take a vacation,Miles ends up being arrested,convicted,sentenced and tried (in that order) by the Cardassians. It is another really strong episode as the season winds down.

2x26 The Jem'Hadar June 12,1994

So their are two species of The Dominion, Jem'Hadar and Vorta. The episodes starts out pretty lame, Sisko and Jake go camping in the Gamma Quadrant, Nog gets invited so Quark comes along as well. By the end of the episode The Dominion seems to have declared war on The Federation. The Episode ends with Sisko saying "If The Dominion come through the worm hole,the first battle will be fought here.I intend to be ready for them."

Overview of the season:

There is a lot of over all arc stories in the season. Writing is the key as war with The Dominion looms,Cardassians playing games with The Federation and Bajor's internal struggles as we wonder if they are able to govern themselves. I will always say 26 episodes is too many.There is less fluff and pointless episodes here. This is not as good as the first season, but that is not a bad thing

I watched this season from March 1 to April 15,2014.
