Best scenes involving the bridge of Dominion ships?

[ReadyAndWilling]

so i've been getting more into DS9 recently and really enjoy the 2 scenes i've watched involving the bridge of the ships with the vorta and jem'hadar. really great to watch them co-ordinate battles and such.

are there any episodes out there i can check out?

thanks

^ What scenes have you already seen?

My favourite bridge scenes on Jem'Hadar ships didn't involve the Jem'Hadar at all, the one with Sisko and the gang in season 6 and then Kira and co in season 7.

i just saw the finale of S5. that was pretty decent.

The only other scene I can think of at the moment with Jem'Hadar doing their thing on the bridge would be in "Changing Face of Evil" from season 7, however some pretty major stuff happens in that episode so unless you don't care about spoilers I'd say wait until you hit that point naturally rather than jumping there from the end of season 5

 

[ReadyAndWilling]

oh ok. i've just been goign through the show one ep at a time. just picking anything that sounds good.

The dominion was Star Treks best enemy IMO they were really really interesting the idea of the Vorta and JemHadar being the carrot and the stick was brilliant.
I even loved reading books that majorly featured them.

I'd honestly read a book that was just centered on the dominion alone.

Tragically, DS9 is quite light on this sort of thing. Very few scenes show the Vorta and Jem'Hadar coordinating attacks on the bridge. I argue that DS9 is all the weaker for this. Episodes like "Valiant" and "Starship Down" would have been 10 000x better if they showed the Dominion ship's bridge, like in TOS' Balance of Terror or Wrath of Khan.

Having said, there's quite a few excellent scenes between Weyoun and Dukat and Weyoun and Damar in the DS9 command center, and the Dominion command center. Those start at the end of Season 5 and continue right through to the end of the series.

Some of the closest scenes that directly relate to what you are talking about in the OP would be found in the episodes, "One Little Ship," "Statistical Probabilities," and "In the Pale Moonlight" (that's a fabricated Dominion scene but it's still awesome!)

ya, i agree man.

i was looking for exactly what you're talking about. are there any episodes where they're co-ordinating attacks? i just watched the one i was recommended 'changing face of evil' and it was a big let down. i really liked the scenes with the dominion. i always fast forwarded through the pahraith junk

so these episodes actually show them co-ordinating the attacks?

No, none of them do.

"One Little Ship" is mostly set on the Defiant and deals with the Jem'Hadar after they have captured the ship and deal with their captives.

"Statistical Probabilities" has nothing to do with any attack. What I think Navaros is referring to is a scene where the Jack Pack is shown a recording of a negotiation between Weyoun and Sisko.

"In the Pale Moonlight" once again shows a recording but this time it is between Weyoun and Damar as they discuss a future military operation.

oh, alright.

so there's nothing on the show at all? seems like it's a big hole.

 

[ReadyAndWilling]

are we ever shown the dominion shipyards or is it only just mentioned?

The problem is that there are few Dominion recurring characters apart from Weyoun and the Female Founder and both were more on the political leadership side of things rather than military unit command during the war, so you don't have many reasons why you would see a Dominion ship's bridge. Instead we see Weyoun and co observing and commanding fleets from operation centres either on DS9 or back on Cardassia Prime.

So in the end what we see of Jem'Hadar ships is usually due to when our heroes are onboard, which happened in four episodes.

Yes, in the opening two parter of season 7 one of the plots is arrayed around Martok leading a mission to destroy the Dominion's Monac IV shipyards...and by Dominion's I mean Cardassian as the design was clearly that of that species. We see a few ships in drydocks during some of the shots of the facility, which is quite massive. For the Federation we tend to just see a single drydock on their own but for the Monac IV shipyards we had several large circular stations, with long spines running out and hanging under the spines were drydocks.

Also in season 7 we see a "repair station", which I think was a reuse of the shipyards of Monac IV but just the circular section. All we see is a Jem'Hadar attack ship docked to the outer edge.

These stations were also used in the final episode were several were shown in orbit of Cardassia Prime.

[Jono]

The Jem'Hadar battleship is introduced in "Valiant", which is in season 6...I think.
