I never had a father, either. Though my grandfather was very much a father figure in my life until he passed when I was a high school senior. (It was barely a year after this episode first aired.) But it still completely shatters me every time I watch "THE VISITOR". Why? Because it's about...

"Rapture" gave a valid, if temporary reason. I think that Bajor did join soon after the Dominion war ended, though.

...would have helped. Also, I realize there’s nothing that could have been done about it, but what a weird timeline this Jake grew up in - the Dominion never actually attacks outright? The Klingons keep being bullies for years and years, and it all blows over re: the Gamma Quadrant? An odd...

I did not care for the Ezri character, felt that she was not necessary, and episodes devoted to her detracted from the overall Dominion war arc. It would have been better to just make a statement that in war, people die. That's how the Jadzia character should have ended, or at the most make it...

...of the USS Maverick vibrated through Verek Thorne’s bones as he stepped out of his ready room. The report on Volnais III burned in his mind. Dominion activity was escalating, too close to the colony for comfort. Standard Starfleet procedure called for evacuation, but the sheer number of...

...the scars of the war with them. As the Maverick raced towards Volanis III, Thorne began to review tactical schematics of the colony. The Dominion advance was rapid, and the colony's defenses were already crumbling. Time was of the essence. Forty minutes later, Ro approached Thorne carrying...

...of Admiral William Ross’s office on Starbase 375 seemed designed to strip away any illusion of comfort, reflecting the grim reality of the Dominion War. Verek Thorne, fresh from his promotion ceremony, stood stiffly at attention, the new Captain’s pips feeling heavier than they looked...

Q rented the hall and engaged the orchestra to get them ready for the Dominion ;)

I'd say that's pretty much inevitable.

Hmmm... interesting. Would some of that distrust and paranoia have lingered in Federation society even after the Dominion War was over?

...in mutual trust and cooperation. When you can't trust that the person you're talking to is actually that person you disrupt the society in a much different way. As SF DEBRIS puts it, "With the Borg they might turn your friends against you. With the Dominion, you don't know if they already have".

So, what made the Dominion so particularly damaging, then, in your view? What was this heart they struck at (and the Borg didn't)?

...I doubt the Federation would've survived, had Earth been assimilated in BOBW. I would think in a simpler direction. The Borg just made two isolated (quite possibly even half hearted) attempts (three if you count Regeneration). The Dominion made a concerted war effort over months or even years.

Because the threat was one that struck at the very heart of Federation society.

...get home. Once home, Starfleet could do real research and testing. If they could fit a few Intrepid class ships that could just reach the Dominion strike and run back before the Dominion could even respond would be a game changer. No wormhole bottle neck. Just in and out. I don't remember...

It's called "Field Expediency," it's written by Dayton Ward & Kevin Dilmore, and it focuses on Duffy and Stevens.

In a sense, the Borg got Starfleet better prepared for something like the Dominion.

The Borg, ultimately, did far less damage than the Dominion.

...Do you think that is the case? From all Star Trek civilizations, I think only Bajorans and Klingons are confirm to be spiritual, well, and Dominion, in a way (Cardassians were once, but not anymore and Vulcans are… a particular example, as they don;t seem to believe in any deities but they...

Currently reading Revenant! About half way through, loving it so far. Also started on the first of the Dominion War Books.
