725 & 726: '''What You Leave Behind''' ''[[1999]] [[June 2]]''


(First watched 2008-10-28)
(First watched 2008-10-28)  Most of this episode was a good conclusion and sent the characters off in appropriate directions.  However, I was disappointed with the abrupt conclusion of the Emissary/Sisko vs Dukat storylines, considering the buildup.  In decreasing chronological importance: it was responsible for Ben Sisko's existence, has been a part of the show for seven years, Sisko and Dukat were last seen in a very antagonistic way but it's been over a year, and throughout this whole "Final Chapter" we've seen Dukat working with Winn to free the Pah-wraiths.  All of that, and this final fight of good and evil comes down to Dukat forcing Sisko to his knees, then getting tackled off a cliff into fire once distracted?  However, execution aside, I did both like Dukat ending up the Pah-wraith Emissary, and Winn finally doing the right thing at the very end.
 
Of all the various goodbyes and separations in this episode, the one that struck me as saddest was Ben and Jake Sisko.  Let's just hope that Jake handles it a bit better than he did in [[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 4|The Visitor]].
