4x11 Homefront January 1,1996
1996 gets off to a great start in the Trek Universe. Sisko,Odo,OBrien and Jake go to Earth where trouble is afoot. We find out before the episode is over that 4 members of The Dominion are on Earth. Threats of Martial Law, extereme measures for testing are imposed. This is a great decent into Martial Law and a little Cold War fear as well. TO BE CONTINUED .....
4x12 Paradise Lost January 8,1996
A nice continuation of the story line.I love everything, framing Sisko, the final showdown. Usually the guest stars are terrible and wooden, Robert Foxworthy is great. Susan Gibney who was the scientist Georgi fell for the holodeck and was married to in the series finale plays a Starfleet officer and is in the episode, she joins a small list of Actors.
4x13 Crossfire January 29,1996
Odo is in love Kira. A Bajorian diplomat arrives on the station and quickly develops a Romantic with Kira,crushing Odo's heart (if he has one). We get to see Odo and Quark interplay for what seems like the first in a while. We find out Odo lives above Quark. Quark files official noise complaints.
4x14 Return to Grace February 5,1996
Going back to the story line with Dukat's not totally Cardassian Daughter earlier in the season. We have Kira and Dukat on a freighter, he has been stripped of his rank. A Good episode, this show has done so good at making three dimensional characters.
4x15 Sons of Mogh February 12,1996
As always, any episode featuring Klingons are good. Honor,Battle everything the Klingons love at work here.
4x16 Bar Association February 19,1996
Quark has to deal with striking employees and fight off Unionization. Fun episode.
4x17 Accession February 26,1996
We find out, I think for the first time that Sisko performs a lot of weddings of Bajorian couples in his role as Emissary. A ship comes through the worm hole with a Bajorian man who claims to have been called as the Emissary, he brings back the long dead Caste System and takes Bajor backwards. Subplot: O'Brien is about to become a Daddy again. First appearance of his wife in ages.
4x18 Rules of Engagement April 8,1996
This is one of the best of the season. Worf has made the commander of the Defiant and in a fog of war type situation fired on a civilian transport. Worf faces extradition to the Klingon Homeworld, which I don't think has ever been given a name. Anyway this one of the best trail episodes I have seen in the whole series to date. Ron Canada is the Klingon prosecutor a dones an incredible job. If you have read this far, you know I rarely guest stars, so this is a great role. This is a 5 Star episode.
4x19 Hard Time April 15,1996
One of the more touching episodes of the series. Miles O'Brien has been released from servicing a 20 year Prison Sentence. Oh, wait, it was only 20 years in his mind, in reality it was 3 hours. O'Brien felt every minute of the 20 years, it was very,very real to him. Just a great science fiction plot. I am not really going to get into the hows and why, other the alien race who sentenced him has an interesting view of justice. Stunningly great episode.
4x20 Shattered Mirror April 22,1996
