They are the reason DS9 Season 6 stands out for its consistent high quality. In terms of raw drama, powerful character arcs, and sheer excitement, DS9’s Season 6 remains the single best season of Star Trek ever. Continue reading DS9 ReWatch – S6 Honorable Mentions

DS9 ReWatch: S2, E8 – “Necessary Evil”

Gary Anderson

We continue our DS9 ReWatch with “Necessary Evil, the eighth episode od Season Two.” “Necessary Evil” is structured as a film noir, the form of American cinema popular between 1941 and the early 1950s. The trend was inspired by the hard-hitting pulp fiction of the 1930s. Odo is our dogged investigator searching for the truth in both the present as well as the past.

The episode could also be described as Odo’s origin story. It was the first time Odo met Quark and Kira, both of whom will develop significant relationships with the shapeshifter throughout the succeeding seasons. Continue reading DS9 ReWatch: S2, E8 – “Necessary Evil”
