Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 6: Difference between revisions

[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 5]]

601: '''A Time to Stand''' ''[[1997]] [[September 29]]''

I was kind of surprised to see Jake going around freely on the station, but... I guess the Dominion aren't running a "harsh" occupation; at least yet.

602: '''Rocks and Shoals''' ''[[1997]] [[October 6]]''

I also couldn't help but notice the Starfleet side only had two characters who weren't regulars or regular guests, and picked them out as dying redshirts pretty quickly.  However, one of the two actually survived.

603: '''Sons and Daughters''' ''[[1997]] [[October 13]]''

So AGAIN Dukat almost tricks Kira into being friendly with him before she realizes it.  She really ought to have caught on to that by now.

604: '''Behind the Lines''' ''[[1997]] [[October 20]]''

Elsewhere, Sisko gets a "promotion" and just spends all his time worrying about the Defiant boldly going successfully on missions without him.

605: '''Favor the Bold''' ''[[1997]] [[October 27]]''

Sisko and hundreds of other ships start to take on a Dominion fleet twice as large, while leaving critical areas of the Federation poorly defended... what sort of deus ex machina will be necessary for everything to turn out alright?  Well, I guess all the Dominion ships could be shittily ran because the Jem'Hadar are running out of their ketracel-white.

606: '''Sacrifice of Angels''' ''[[1997]] [[November 3]]''

So Ziyal... ouch.  And what will become of Dukat?  He can't exactly be an effective Cardassian administrator and Dominion ally if he's a crazy man in Federation/Bajoran custody.

607: '''You Are Cordially Invited...''' ''[[1997]] [[November 10]]''

Martok's wife and the end solution bothered me.  For all that Klingons are always shown to value strength, you'd think Jadzia's not putting up with her shit and fighting back would be considered the "honorable" thing.  Whereas in the end she basically consents to grovel to get her approval.

608: '''Resurrection''' ''[[1997]] [[November 17]]''

I'm still surprised that the technology for transporting between the two universes seems to be mature, yet it's used so infrequently; and only in the area of DS9.

609: '''Statistical Probabilities''' ''[[1997]] [[November 22]]''

Interesting, but I'm not sure I like Dr. Bashir being the only non-dangerous genetically engineered person... ever.  Khan's group, takes over the world in the 20th century and causes havoc in the 23rd century.  In Enterprise, the offshoot of Khan's group causes havoc in the 22nd century.  On DS9 now, even the group that doesn't seem to want to rule everything almost ends up giving the Federation away because they think it's in everyone's best interest.

610: '''The Magnificent Ferengi''' ''[[1997]] [[December 17]]''

(First watched 2008-08-05)  Weird.

611: '''Waltz''' ''[[1998]] [[January 3]]''

612: '''Who Mourns for Morn''' ''[[199]] [[February 4]]''

613: '''Far Beyond the Stars''' ''[[1998]] [[February 11]]''

(First watched 2008-08-25)

614: '''One Little Ship''' ''[[1998]] [[February 14]]''

(First watched 2008-08-25)

615: '''Honor Among Thieves''' ''[[1998]] [[February 21]]''

(First watched 2008-08-27)  O'Brien goes undercover, and has to deal with the fact that even criminal operatives involved in ambassadorial assassination aren't ''complete'' scum.

616: '''Change of Heart''' ''[[1998]] [[February 28]]''

(First watched 2008-09-02)  Worf so worried about his wife that he abandons a mission which could make a huge difference in an interstellar war?  Iiiiiii dunno about that one.

617: '''Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night''' ''[[1998]] [[March 28]]''

And then Kira almost (intentionally) killing her mother?  Iiiiiii dunno about that one.

618: '''Inquisition''' ''[[1998]] [[April 8]]''

Did they really think the Dominion let him escape purposefully so he could act as a spy?  But while he was imprisoned, they had him replaced by a ''Changeling operative''!  That seems much more useful.

619: '''In the Pale Moonlight''' ''[[1998]] [[April 15]]''

(First watched 2008-09-07)  Sisko takes a trip to the dark side, and lets Garak take him further.

620: '''His Way''' ''[[1998]] [[April 22]]''

It's quite a feat to put such different types of episode back-to-back.  From dark dealings of deceit to Odo playing on the holodeck and finally pairing up with Nerys.  No danger at all outside of the emotional... no B story at all, really.

621: '''The Reckoning''' ''[[1998]] [[April 29]]''

Winn is back to being an ass.

622: '''Valiant''' ''[[1998]] [[May 6]]''

I liked that in the future they always take medicine through a hypo, but for visual effect they still had the boy captain popping pills.

623: '''Profit and Lace''' ''[[1998]] [[May 13]]''

So... Rom is a closet cross-dresser?

624: '''Time's Orphan''' ''[[1998]] [[May 20]]''

(First watched 2008-09-14)  Weird.  Since Molly is such a minor character (pun unintended), for a while I thought they'd really use this opportunity to completely change her or write her off.  But I guess in the end Wild Molly pulled a [[Children of Time]] on herself.

625: '''The Sound of Her Voice''' ''[[1998]] [[June 10]]''

B story was interesting.  I thought for a while Jake was going to get in on the illegal doings; an upgraded version of he and Nog's doings back in the day.  But no... just allowing Quark to say it out loud ended up with Odo letting him get away with it.  I suppose it's a good thing we don't know anything about those crystals or why they're illegal--it makes Odo's willingness to let not only Quark but the other wanted man get away with it seem less disturbing.

626: '''Tears of the Prophets''' ''[[1998]] [[June 17]]''

Worf's now had the mother of his child ''and'' his wife murdered.  And people wonder why he's grumpy.
