How about some alt. endings for Sacrifice of Angels

[OldManDax]

Most ppl agree that the Dominion/WH resolution was lame. How would you have handled from the part where............."sir the Klingons have opened a whole in their lines................................."

A good portion of SOA feels somewhat rushed and a bit, umm, heavy-handed, but I had absolutely no problem with the Prophets intervening. It was a good to way to intertwine the to most important plots in the show, it was a dramatic and climactic on its own (Sisko's argument with the Prophets, that is), and further illustrated the kind of intensity that was The Prophetsattitudes towards Sisko. Plus the "time to start packing" line delivered by Weyoun right after the Prophets' intervention was quite chuckleworthy.

And remember, the war did not end there, only that particular phase of it did.

Actually, globally-speaking of course, I'd say that "most ppl" probably have never heard of the Dominion or DS9. Perhaps you meant "most DS9 fans". In which case, I say, show me your unbiased, scientifically derived data and the random sample from whence it came!

I find the intervention of the prophets to be an infinitely more satisfying and complex resolution than had the writers taken the easy way out, which would simply be to have the Allied fleet beat the stuffing out of the Dominion until the 42 minutes were up.

What about the ending originally envisaged by the writers, or was it by Berman? From what I know of, the war would've ended right there and then, probably with Sisko breaking through and destroying DS9's weapon just in time. The Female Changeling, Weyoun, Dukat, and the rest of the gang would have been captured, and the war would be over.

The resistance would've stopped the beam in time AND transmitted an all clear message to the dominion fleet, who slam head first in a collossal cluster-frakked death trap.

That or the Defiant just lays one antigraviton-resistant self-replicating mine which is set to replicate very quickly and restores the mine field in mere minutes. (yeah, right)

Then the Dominion command tries to flee Deep Space Nine and Sisko blows their asses up.

Dukat still goes nuts. And thus is left behind and spared, to escape and resume command along with a Weyoun clone at a later date.
