Welcome to May 2014 ....
3x1/3x2 The Search September 26/October 3,1994
Deep Space Nine is now the only Star Trek show on the air with TNG gone off the air in June. It seems like a long time ago because I have not seen a TNG show since late January. The Station is preparing for war with The Dominion and whatever is in the Gamma Quadrant. We are introduced to The Defiant, a battleship The Federation with a cloaking devise. It is at DS9. We find out Odo is a Changeling , he and Kira go to his home planet. Mystery solved, he would rather be with humans. This is a really good political episode,lots of intrigue. You get the feeling the series has really taken a new turn.
3x3 The House of Quark October 10,1994
Wow, Quark kills a Klingon before the Credits. Of any of episodes of any series that I have watched so far, this is the best open ever. Quark ends up marrying the widow. As with TNG, any Klingon episode is good,so with DS9 any Quark episode is good. Mixing Klingons and Quark is magical.
3x4 Equilibrium October 17,1994
A great Jadzia Dax episode
3x5 Second Skin October 24,1994
One of those episodes when I realize what a great character Garak the Tailor is. Is Kira a double agent ?Is Kira really a Cardassian spy who had surgery to look like a Bajorian ? This season has been epic so far.
3x6 The Abandoned October 31,1994
A story about an abandoned baby who grows up really quick. The best part of the episode is Jake,Sisko's son is dating a Dabo Girl (a Gambling game played at Quarks).Think Black Jack girl or worse.I am think Jake has really been underdone in the series.
3x7 Civil Defense November 7,1994
This seasons candidate for best episode of the season one of the best of the series. Remember that The Federation took over the station from The Cardassians. An old security program is tripped and the whole station might self destruct.
3x8 Meridian November 14,1994
One of the best romantic episodes of the series,any series. A Planet suddenly appears out of nowhere.It exists in 2 Dimensions. As the crew work to try to figure a way for the planet to stay in this dimension Jadzia falls in love with one of the scientists.
Star Trek:Generations
Release Date:November 18,1994
This is probably the second true epic in the Star Trek movie franchise. You have Khan and now you have the two captains.I liked the movie then and I liked it now. An Enterprise crashes which seems to be a standard in the movies.
The film opens with Kirk,Scotty and Chekov attending the launch of The USS Enterprise-B. This allows for one of the best title sequences of a champagne bottle floating through space. It really is a cool scene, a sign of a budget in 1994, today a commercial could product such a cool scene.
The ship isn't fully staffed and is missing a lot "That is due Tuesday" Captain Harriman keeps saying as their is a distress call that only one who can respond.And Captain James T Kirk dies trying to save the ship. Refugees come on board Whoopie Goldberg and a sinister looking Malcolm McDowell.
The First appearance of The Next Generation crew is on board an old time sailing holodeck ship.Worf is getting promoted, in the course of events Data throws Dr. Crusher overboard and doesn't understand why no one found it funny and decides it is time to put in the emotion chip, for Your Moment of Data Movie Edition. Spiner goes through every emotion in the book Pain,Fear,Humor, some of it interesting and some of it is not.
The movie has appearances by the Crazy Klingon Sisters from TNG and DS9. McDowell makes a great Star Trek villain. The reason why Picard enlists Kirk's help is some what contrived. The scenes are really good and this is the last we see of William Shatner as Captain James T Kirk, I will suspend objections and just enjoy the almost 30 ride with the character.Again this movie works for the most part.
3x9 Defiant November 21,1994
Will Riker shows up at the Station. This is a very good episode, anything else would spoilers.
3x10 Fascination November 28,1994
It is The Bajorian Gratitude Festival and everyone seems to be having a little fun
This series has dealt with conspiracies and bad guys like The Dominion,The Marquis, The Obsidian Order and the unresolved issues of the Cardassian occupation of Bajor and The Space Station it's self. There have not been a lot of fun episodes. This one borrows a little bit from A Midsummers Night Dream.It is a lot of fun.
Nice to see Jadzia Dax out of uniform
