Image in the Sand (7.9 / C+) |
|
|
Summary: While moping on Earth, Sisko receives an unsettling vision
from the Prophets.

by-the-numbers and predictable. More... |
|
|
|
|
|
Shadows and Symbols (7.2 / C-) |
|
|
Summary: While Sisko searches for a lost Orb of the Prophets, the
rest of his crew are taking on the Dominion.
The Bottom Line: Most of the plot threads from last week are resolved in
a reasonable, if not terribly compelling fashion. More...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Afterimage (6.0 / D-) |
|
|
Summary: Jadzia's legacy makes it difficult for Ezri to settle into
her new life on DS9.

|
|
|
|
|
Take Me Out to the Holosuite (0.9 / F--) |
|
|
Summary: Taking a break from the war, Sisko and his crew play a game
of baseball.

|
|
|
Chrysalis (5.0 / F+) |
|
|
Summary: Bashir's genetically enhanced friends return.

|
|
|
Treachery, Faith and the Great River (6.7 / D+) |
|
|
Summary: A Weyoun clone attempts to defect to the Good Guys.

|
|
|
|
|
Once More Unto the Breach (6.7 / D+) |
|
|
Summary: The legendary Klingon warrior Kor returns to join the war
effort.
The Bottom Line: Tolerable, as Klingon Klaptrap episodes go. But how many
times can we be expected to sit through the same plot? More...
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Siege of AR-558 (8.3 / B) |
|
|
Summary: Sisko and his crew assist a group of Starfleet soldiers in a

|
|
|
|
It's Only a Paper Moon (4.0 / F) |
|
|
Summary: Nog experiences post-traumatic stress after being injured in
combat.

forty minutes of music. More... |
|
|
|
|
|
Prodigal Daughter (4.2 / F) |
|
|
Summary: Ezri is reunited with her familiy for the first time since
receiving the Dax symbiont.

following an unfortunate DS9 trend. More... |
|
|
|
|
|
The Emperor's New Cloak (4.0 / F) |
|
|
Summary: Grand Nagus Zek seeks profit in the Mirror Universe.
The Bottom Line: Mostly drivel, with a couple of worthwhile scenes. More... |

|
|
|
|
Field of Fire (6.0 / D-) |
|
|
Summary: When Ezri assists in a murder investigation, memories of a
psychotic former Dax host come to the surface.

Brim, but with contrivances. More... |
|
|
|
|
|
Chimera (6.5 / D) |
|
|
Summary: Odo encounters another Changeling who, like him, was sent
out into the galaxy by the Founders centuries ago.

interesting story. More... |

|
Summary: When hologram Vic Fontaine is threatened by holographic
hoods, the crew goes all-out to protect him.

|
|
|
|
Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges (9.0 / A-) |
|
|
Summary: Section 31 recruits Bashir for a covert mission.
The Bottom Line: If this level of quality can be maintained, it might,
repeat, might, make up for the dreck we were subjected to earlier this season. More... |
|
|
|
|
|
Penumbra (7.5 / C) |
|
|
Summary: While Ezri searches for the missing Worf, Sisko receives a
warning from the Prophets.
The Bottom Line:An episode consisting mainly of set-up, too much so,
perhaps, with the sound of chess pieces being moved around becoming perceptible at times. More... |
|
|
|
|
|
'Til Death Do Us Part (6.9 / D+) |
|
|
Summary: While Ezri and Worf are held prisoner by the Breen, Dukat,
disguised as a Bajoran, tries to lure Kai Winn to the Dark Side.
The Bottom Line: Like last week, there's a lot of set-up and not much
payoff, but unlike last week, this episode really feels off-kilter and all over the map.
More... |
|
|
|
|
|
Strange Bedfellows (7.5 / C) |
|
|
Summary: As the Breen formally join the Dominion, Kai Winn is tempted
by the Pah Wraiths.
The Bottom Line: There is some good dialogue and interesting
developments, but with erratic pacing, as some of the plotlines feel rushed, others
unconscionably padded. More... |
|
|
|
|
|
The Changing Face of Evil (8.0 / B-) |
|
|
Summary: The war escalates when the Breen attack Starfleet
Headquarters on Earth.
The Bottom Line: While marred in a few places by flawed execution and
questionable characterization, this is a pretty strong show. More...
|
|
|
|
|
|
When It Rains... (7.5 / C) |
|
|
Summary: Kira tries to organize the Cardassian resistance against the
Dominion.
The Bottom Line: As in "Penumbra," at times the manipulation of
chess pieces is a bit too perceptible. More... |
|
|
|
|
|
Tacking into the Wind (9.3 / A) |
|
|
Summary: While Bashir works to find a cure for the Changeling
illness, Worf takes on Gowron, the Klingon leader.

|
|
|
|
Extreme Measures (5.0 / F+) |
|
|
Summary: O'Brien and Bashir capture Section 31's Sloan and try to
extract information from him about the Changeling illness.

stupid in order to buy this plot. More... |

|
|
|
|
The Dogs of War (5.0 / F+) |
|
|
Summary: When Grand Nagus Zek announces his retirement, the fight to
succeed him begins.

What You Leave Behind (6.0 / D-) |
|
|
Summary: The final battle between the Federation and the Dominion,
and between Good and Evil.
The Bottom Line: Look up "pointless" in the dictionary, and
you'll find a still from this episode. More... |
