[DS9] Past Prologue

DS9 Season 1, Episode 3 (Netflix: S1 E3): Past Prologue

Rating: 3

“Past Prologue” furthers the dissection of the situation with Kira, the Bajorans, and the Cardassians in a rewarding way. We get some more of the fully realized and morally complex political relationships established in the premiere, all in a tightly plotted episode. Plus Garak is introduced, which in our humble opinion is one of the best Trek characters.

Notes:

Garak!

File under: Andrew Robinson (Garak)

Kira already has a new hair style

We can see some slight variations in the Bajorian nose/forehead wrinkles. This guy looks more like the first Bajorans in TNG

Leonard Nimoy’s wife and Michael Bay’s cousin is an admiral

File under: Susan Bay (Admiral Rollman)

Vaughn Armstrong (Admiral Forrest) as a Cardassian
