An odd one this - while the beginning would suggest they're heading for a long battle with the rebel Jem'Hadar, in the end they only spend about 5 minutes scrapping with them at the end, with the majority of the episode focussing on the Jem'Hadar and the Starfleet crew trying to co-operate with each other.
Still, it's another great episode, if anything for the introduction (and subsequent death :unsure: ) of Weyoun, who's as superb as he always is :) The idea of re-using an Iconian gateway is a good one, since aside from their use in TNG's 'Contagion' they've been long-forgotten about (which is odd, as something like that would be very useful to have!)
And bonus points for Poor O'brien trying to cope with the whole thing, leading to his wonderful pre-war speech:
I am Miles Edward O'Brien, I am alive, and I very much plan to stay that way
Or at least something like that :)
Quite a watchable episode and good to see Weyoun aka Mr Unlucky :lol:
Nice buildup of tension between Worf and just about any Jem'Hadar he comes across.
Edited for silly spoilery remark type thing :lol:
Oh look, there's Jeffrey Combs. Oh look, there's Brian Thompson. Wouldn't be right if they didn't both turn up together at some point :lol:
Terrific episode let down only slightly by the briefness of the battle at the end. And bonus points, for once, for Sisko for telling Kira to contact Starfleet Command to get them to send more ships to protect the station (he's obviously been listening to me :p :lol: ). Just shows how one line of dialogue can make the whole story make so much more sense :thumbsup:
LMAO at O'Brien's speech. And I wish Odo had gone and ordered Weyoun to stand on his head, just to see if he did.
The only thing that struck me as a bit hokey was Sisko saving the Jem'Hadar's life, not because it was badly done, it was just a bit... cliched :shrug:
Apart from that, top stuff :thumbsup:
