The design is very different from any Federation ship we have seen before with tactical stations all around the perimeter of the Bridge, cramped quarters and tight angled corridors – the designers have really thought through how to pack us much function into as little space as possible. A ship without families, science labs and luxuries of any kind built to counteract the Borg threat. It even has a cloaking device! It kicks the Enterprise and Voyager out of the pool with its awesomeness. The Good: The one major drawback to DS9 was that it didn’t have a sleek looking starship to explore other worlds and we were stuck in tiny and ineffective runabouts if we wanted to leave the station…now there is nothing holding this show back because the Defiant is a kick ass warship which is highly manoeuvrable, built to fight and packing in some serious weaponry. ‘What the hell is wrong with Starfleet?’ – Kira’s diplomacy still needs a little tweaking! Sparkling Dialogue: ‘She may have flaws but she has teeth’ – Sisko on the Defiant. In his dealings with the Karemma Quark manages to sell half the Bridge of the Defiant and Kira’s earring. The way Odo is hypnotised by the view screen of the Omarian Nebula is superbly played by Rene Auberjonois and when he tells Kira it is calling to him you never doubt that he is 100% sincere.Ĭommunity Leader: After his last experience with the Dominion Quark refuses to go along with Sisko but he is blackmailed by the Commander by using the sceptre of the Grand Nagus in a wonderful scene. I laughed my head off at Odo’s growling rant at Quark (‘Stay out of my way or you’ll regret the day you ever met me!’). His ego easily bruised, Odo resigns as soon as he hears the news.
They see his efforts as mildly incompetant and send Commander Eddington to co-ordinate with him. Odo feels that his hands are tied because he is not able to issue a curfew and enforce more regulations but the Federation is run under martial law. Unknown Sample: Once again leave it DS9 to follow up on promises of the past and I was only saying a few episodes back in Tribunal that there had been a number of security lapses of late. When she goes to his quarters to drag him out of his slumber, Odo’s line is almost a piss take of all those times when Troi turned up at peoples quarters because they broke a nail: ‘Are you the ships counsellor now?’ Tasty Terrorist: The relationship between Kira and Odo continues to shine as she tries to convince him to come along to the mission to find the leaders of the Dominion and make him feel as if he still has a use to Bajor, even if the Federation can’t see how good he is.
He doesn’t agree with the decision to have a Federation security presence on the station but he does understand it – Starfleet likes team players and the chain of command and so does he. Add to that an even better scene where Sisko talks about going back to Starfleet Command and having meetings with the very same Admirals that used to give him a thrill of delight earlier in his career but now he thinks that they just don’t see things how they actually are.
Sisko has finally moved his collection of African art from their home on Earth to the station, adding lots of personal touches. Single Father: There’s a wonderful moment between Sisko and Jake when they discuss that DS9 is not only where they are stationed…but they have come to think of this Cardassian monstrosity as their home. What’s it about: Sisko returns from Earth with a little surprise for the Dominion…
