So I took about a year off and on January 1,2016 it seemed appropriate to continue my journey. So I began watching. I finished the last two seasons of Deep Space Nine in about 3 months. These are the best seasons and I am going to break format to talk about them.
DS9 is under Dominion control. The main characters are scattered through the plot line. Sisko commands the USS Defiant. Gul Dakat,Cardassian bad guy runs DS9,now called Terok Nor.The early part of the season involves taking back Deep Space Nine. The best moment of the early episodes was when Sisko bets The Klingon Geneal Martok , the last one to DS9 owes a bottle of Blood Ale. It is really one of the best moments in any series. The first six episodes involve the fight to take over the Station. It makes a neat little continuing story line,one that viewers of TV shows consider essential today. The plot line in the fall of 1997 is ahead of it's time.
The season settles into to being a Star Trek season, too many episodes, some episodes that are really good. The acting of the main characters is really good, they know their parts so well by this time. Occasionally hooky,bad makeup shows up. Some episodes feature great writing,some do not.
-Worf and Jadiza Dax get married and deal with married life
-The Mirror Universe returns
- a couple of Ferengi centered stories
-a Runabout gets shrunk
-OBrien becomes a part time spy
-after years of hinting around Odo and Kira become an item.
Stand Outs
6x12 Who Mourns for Morn ? The Big Alien Guy who sits at the end of the bar and has said nothing. He Dies and leaves his fortune to Quark.
6x13 Far Beyond the Stars. Is the whole show a story idea from a 40's Pulp Fiction Magazine. Some great out of make up acting as the main cast play characters from the 1940's.
6x19 In the Pale Moonlight. Garak was under used in the series, or maybe he was used just enough.The Character was so well written, a combination of it seems like several characters in Casablanca.
6x20 His Way. Bashir has a holo program of Vegas in the 50's/60's. A salute to the rat pack. The singer is Vic Fontaine. He knows he is a holo program and thinks. He is a great character that would used through the end of series.I am so glad Pulp Culture survived the Eugenics Wars,etc,etc.
The season ends with the death of one of my favorite characters Jadzia Dax. How will Worf take this ?
