[DigiFluid]

DS9 7.05 "Chrysalis" -- Bleh.

DS9 7.06 "Treachery, Faith, and the Great River" -- Excellent.

DS9 7.07 "Once More Unto the Breach" -- Poor Kor.

DS9 7.08 "The Siege of AR-558" -- Awesome.

DS9 7.08 "The Siege of AR-558" -- Awesome.

One of my all-time favorite DS9 episodes. Actually, it's one of my favorite ST episodes of all-time. It's brilliant in so many ways. I think a big part of it was the episode was directed by Winrich Kolbe, a Vietnam vet.

I'd rather watch a Ferengi episode.
'Blaze of Glory'. Eddington, the anti-Federation voice, is always a pleasure. I only got through the first half due to work stuff, but I made sure I saw the runabout 'ignite the plasma' [that statement is all kinds of wrong] and take out the Jem'hadar fighters. It looks like they're being taken to the Delta Quadrant. Someone should make that fan video.

Easy there, Mr. Hooray for Genocide

DS9 7.09 "Covenant" -- A really solid Dukat/Kira episode. Good stuff all around. Though I think I might've liked it better if, rather than go all toxic kool aid on everyone, Dukat had either a) kept the cult till the end of the series; or b) taken the pill and been resurrected by a Pah Wraith.

Star Trek Insurrection -- Honestly, I don't think it's a bad movie. I think there's a lot of merit in what they're doing, and it could've been a pretty cool last bang for the TNG crew to 'go rogue' to defend the principles of the Federation (btw nx, were the Son'a right here too?). Where I think it falls flat is in that it retreads territory that TNG already did in "Journey's End" and "Homefront"/"Paradise Lost". I think this could have been a ton more interesting--and much more closely related to "All Good Things..." if they'd chosen to focus on more of that "perfect moment" business. Oh well. Adios, crew of the Enterprise. I will miss you.

DS9 7.10 "It's Only A Paper Moon" -- Poor Nog

[jelgate]

I prefer Star Trek:Nemesis over Star Trek:Insurrection. That is how much I hate Insurrection.

*runs away from mob*

Jel: You'd better engage at maximum warp, mister.
Digi: Don't drink the koolaid!
Right? Of course not. The Baku were cute and harmless. It's a good thing Riker blew so many of the Son'a to heck and back! Pity we didn't get them all...

DS9 7.11 "Prodigal Daughter" -- Fantastic Ezri episode.

DS9 7.12 "The Emperor's New Cloak" -- In a word....crap. Mirror Ezri is great but....why is Intendant Kira kissing her? I always took her attraction to herself as being a kind of extreme narcissism, not bisexuality. And I swear I've seen cloaking devices in the Mirror Universe before.

DS9 7.13 "Field of Fire" -- Love Ezri but the episode is kind of ho hum. And why didn't they bring back the original Joran actor?

DS9 7.14 "Chimera" -- Not my favourite episode as its own story, but SO important to the ongoing Odo story arc.

[nx01a]

I didn't care for the first 'Miles goes undercover with the Orion Syndicate' episode, and the follow-up isn't one of my favourites. I did like Ezri's artistic brother, reminded me a bit of myself.
'Emp Cloak' is just... horrid. The mirror universe's stance that 'gay/bi = the opposite of good' really made me gag this episode, as did the rampant nature of it among the tightly-clad sexy ladies. Well, it makes me smile, but what it seems to be saying makes me gag.
'Field of Fire' does little for me. Season 7 seemed to be the 'Evil Vulcan' season. First, the stuck up Vulcan baseball team, now the homicidal Vulcan. Boo on dissing Vulcans! Boo!

[Gate Rider]

DS9- "The Sword of Kahless."

DS9 7.12 "The Emperor's New Cloak" -- In a word....crap. Mirror Ezri is great but....why is Intendant Kira kissing her? I always took her attraction to herself as being a kind of extreme narcissism, not bisexuality. And I swear I've seen cloaking devices in the Mirror Universe before.

Definitely not one of my favorite episodes but DS9 when it's bad is better than other sci-fi when it's good. You're correct about the cloaking devices. In the very first mirror episode, the Alliance does indeed have cloaking devices. An interesting irony that the final mirror episode contradicts something established in the first mirror episode.

DS9 7.13 "Field of Fire" -- Love Ezri but the episode is kind of ho hum. And why didn't they bring back the original Joran actor?

The original actor was unavailable for the shoot. I love investigative stories so this was one I turn to watch every once in a while. Joran appearing playing that electronic keyboard complete with black candles was a nice touch to his character, I thought.

[DigiFluid]

Ah. I wonder what he was doing then? Though I do agree that, yes, the keyboard was a nice touch.


DS9 7.15 "Badda-Bing Badda-Bang" -- Love this episode, so much fun before things go on their final serious adventure. And Vic and Sisko singing together is one of the series highlights IMO

DS9 7.16 "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges" -- Interesting, all around.

DS9 7.17 "Penumbra" -- Good, but mostly a lot of setup. Really kicked into high gear at the end with Sisko's vision from Sarah.

DS9 7.18 "'Til Death Do Us Part" -- Amazing Dukat/Winn stuff, and Sarah's interruption of Sisko's wedding was an amazing way of showing how very much she wanted to protect him.

You're getting towards The End of Star Trek [well, for you, anyway]. :'( What will you do now?! :'(

I know, I'm almost done! It's taken forever, you guys know I've been doing this since the beginning of TOS....

I'm also doing an SG-1 rewatch that I started when I got Trek-stalled by slow shipping. I've been doing an episode-by-episode take on that on the SG-1 subforum here, in case you've missed it

I'm finishing up season 8 of this, so once I'm done there and DS9 I'll be motoring through Seasons 9 and 10, and after that probably Farscape again since I just got the series collection set

[pookey]

I just watched the Star Trek movie and loved every single minute of it
