Since brother Fifth is running behind on re-watching season I (thanx to me returning his DVD season I set late ) I will gladly kick it off.....
I know we agreed Fifth that we were'nt going to do every episode but I thinks we should start with the 2 part premiere (Emissary part I & II)
(Emissary parts I & II)
I found it interesting to find out again the circumstances behind Sisko's wife and Jakes mother being killed. She was killed on the U.S.S. Saratoga during the Borg invasion when Picard was Locutus. Sisko was Lt. Commander where he and Jake were able to get to an escape pod before the ship was destroyed.
Picard was in these episodes I guess to lend credence to the series and to drop off Chief O'Brien after he was transferred to DS9. Sisko has a very tense meeting with Picard where he kind of blames him for the death of his wife. Sisko does'nt really want the job but takes it anyway saying he might retire his commission. Sisko's mission is to make sure Bajora becomes a member of the Federation.
Alot of this episode is introductions to all the new characters and quick glimpses of there personalities. Kai Opuka tells Sisko that he is on DS9 for a much bigger reason than anyone realizes (to become the Emissary for the Bajorans). And Sisko has to find all the missing Orbs after he is given one by the Kai. Gul DuKat comes on the station and tried to convince Sisko to give him the Orb :rollseyes:. Sisko says "yeah right" and declines.
Sisko and Dax go through the wormhole for the first time and are transported 70,000 light years from there galaxy to a planet where Sisko has an encounter with the wormhole aliens and is told of his destiny.
It basically ends where a now mellower Sisko talks with Picard again and tells him he wants the post and will stay on DS9 where Picard is delighted.
Open it guys and girls......I will post back later about my take on this great episode.
