False Alarm

The crew of DS9 rush to battle stations as the red alert klaxon rings out. Scanners show an overwhelming Jem'Hadar force bearing down on the station only for that force to disappear from all sensors just as it should be entering visual contact range. Tempers fray as this happens again and again randomly at all hours of day or night over the next few days with scanners showing the appearance of a huge hostile force only for said force to disappear from the scanners again with no other sign that it ever existed. Diagnostics show nothing wrong with any sensor or scanner systems. Is this the result of some heretofore unknown system malfunction or is something more nefarious afoot?

Meanwhile, Quark must swallow his pride and ask for Odo's protection when he learns that a former business associate is displeased with merchandise Quark sold him and has put a hit out on him.

Next episode – “Miss Cartwright”

I'm having trouble seeing Worf do this.

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Worse if upon suspecting or discovering that "Worf" is actually a Changeling (but before they know it's Odo), they wonder just how long a Changeling has been disguised as Worf.

I'm having trouble seeing Worf do this.

Worse if upon suspecting or discovering that "Worf" is actually a Changeling (but before they know it's Odo), they wonder just how long a Changeling has been disguised as Worf.

Or, the Ent-E crew, being super competent and everything, do notice that its Odo and not Worf (Deanna especially right off the bat). And as Odo preps to return to DS9, they needle him - obviously in a playful jokey way - as to why Worf didn’t come onboard or were invited to Worf’s wedding and wonder why he’s keeping Jadzia at arm’s length from them since they want to meet her, and wonder if he’s mad they did not invite him on Ent-E’s maiden voyage. Something like that.

Not to mention they could fact check with O'Brien that Worf wasn't replaced by a hostile Changeling.

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Ah, the old "everybody knows what I think nobody knows and everybody knows they know except me" trick!

 

[Bad Thoughts]

"The Peddler"

The reopening of the Wormhole reveals that the Founders, paranoid about loyalty, ravaged many Dominion worlds, leaving many communities homeless. Among those left wandering the galaxy is Hanok and a band of Karemma, who survive by selling Dominion military secrets. Grand Nagus Rom, hoping to gain an advantage, offers to resettle them on Ferenganar. However, he finds misogynistic attitudes that would make pre-reform Ferengi take pause.

Next episode: A Love Supreme

 

[CRM-114]

King for a Day - While Sisko is receiving a Starfleet-mandated psychological evaluation offsite regarding post-Wolf 359 grief, prophet experiences, etc, an outgoing Starfleet officer on the verge of retiring as a newly promoted admiral takes temporary command of DS9. Not interested in retiring, he begins making sweeping changes to station administration on the eve of an important summit, destabilizing relations between both parties and station staff.

Next episode: "The Cradle Will Fall"

I like the A-plot enough that it could stand as a single-story episode. What is Sisko willing to pour out to a Starfleet psychologist? It would make an interesting contrast to "In The Pale Moonlight".

It's the idea that Worf of all people would duck out on his responsibility to go have fun with Jadzia. Because shirking responsibility to go have fun is what Worf was all about. Quark? Yes. Worf? I don't see it.

It's the idea that Worf of all people would duck out on his responsibility to go have fun with Jadzia. Because shirking responsibility to go have fun is what Worf was all about. Quark? Yes. Worf? I don't see it.

It’s a game, not an actual pitch meeting.

If it were, it would probably be rewritten as Worf having already left with Jadzia and doesn’t know that the Enterprise stopped by, and the Ent-E crew requesting Odo for a specific reason.

Its okay to have different concepts for the characters, even if they don't make sense. That's how we get new ideas.

I'm just not all that fussed about it. I say that as someone who's favourite ST character is Worf.

 

[FederationHistorian]

Next episode: A Love Supreme

"A Love Supreme" - Kira must teach the Prophets about love when they bring her visions questioning her relationship with Odo.

Meanwhile, Worf visits Samrin’s Planet to reflect on his relationship with K’Ehleyr on the anniversary of her death.
