When ‘DS9’ does action-filled episodes with Jem’Hadar done right, it does it right and it’s really compelling.Įddington is shocked and stunned about many of the Maquis dead, killed by Jem’Hadar. I like how Sisko and Eddington get to fight it out with the Jem’Hadar soldiers already there. Upon arrival, the place is crawling with Jem’Hadar. Soon, Sisko and Eddington arrive on a tiny, fog-bound planet called Athos IV on the other side of the Badlands. It’s amazing how confident Sisko is once Eddington makes the idle threat to him. A proper Jem’Hadar fight will come later on here.Įddington finally agrees to help Sisko find the launch site and deactivate the missiles, but vows to kill him afterwards.
Sisko soon tricks Eddington into taking over the runabout’s controls in order to evade two pursuing Jem’Hadar warships in the Badlands. I might do that after writing this review.
It had been done in ‘For the Uniform’, but it’s very interesting to see it continue and how raw their bitterness is.Įddington continues to be uncooperative, even becoming a food critic when Sisko gives him a meal from the replicator. This is where Sisko and Eddington’s bitterness towards each other comes to the fore. Soon, Sisko takes Eddington to the Badlands in order to compel him to help, especially in dangerous territory. Sisko tries to get Eddington to tell him how to stop the missiles, but Eddington refuses. I thought I’d seen that space station somewhere before.
Interestingly, the establishing shot of the starbase where Eddington is being kept prisoner is re-used stock footage of Regula I from ‘Star Trek II’. Sisko goes to Michael Eddington, who’s now locked in a prison. Unless the missiles are stopped, Sisko fears the Dominion will respond pretty violently, enveloping the entire quadrant in an all-out war. These few Maquis survivors say in the message they’ve launched a massive retaliatory missile strike against Cardassia, which is now a member of the Dominion. Most have been wiped out by the Dominion. Hertzler as General Martok about an intercepted message being received.
It’s also his final appearance in the ‘DS9’ series and this episode concludes the rivalry between him and Sisko. This episode features another return appearance of Kenneth Marshall as Michael Eddington. Please feel free to comment on my review.
