DS9 Season 4 Recap

Introduction

One more season of DS9 comes to a close, and by all metrics, this is the best season of DS9 so far. Even when not dealing with the Dominion and Klingon arcs, this season seemed to have real momentum. More than anything, the show really seems to have found its own voice in its stories, rather than falling back on trying to tell a story using TNG's episode model as a guide.

Jake-O... time to visit Garak's shop for some new duds.

Introduction

Doctor Bashir finds a planet in the Delta Quadrant infected by an engineered Dominion plague. It dooms the people to a slow, agonizing death, but not until well into adulthood, so the suffering population can serve a warning to those who would disobey the Dominion. Can he find a cure? Will the defeated, skeptical people accept it if he does?

Reminds me of Detroit.
