Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Reviews HH

This is one of my posts where I “review” Star Trek episodes. I will be giving each one a star rating. I sometimes will make some comments about non-political parts of them that I like or don’t like. I’ll sometimes use the issues raised in the episode to discuss similar issues in real life. And I will sometimes simply high-light the progressive politics of ST. ST is in-line with the three original themes of this blog, as I explain in the first ST post where I offer some general thoughts about ST.

I’m not very familiar with The Original Series and there might be some small amount of material there that would affect what I say about Star Trek (i.e. how often religion is mentioned)

Lastly. multi-culturalism is such a pervasive theme in ST that I only comment on it when it goes beyond the norm (i.e. inter-species partners).

“The Sound Of Her Voice” See this for a plot summary.

A non-political episode, but a good one, I give it two stars out of five.


“Tears Of The Prophets” See this for a plot summary.

Although I really liked the Jadzia Dax character, I’m pretty much okay with her dying. It’s realistic if once in a while a main character is killed. Also, the character that replaced her is roughly as good.


“Image In The Sand” See this for a plot summary.

A pretty non-political episode, but we do meet Ezri Dax for the first time, and she makes the loss of Jadzia Dax easier for me.

I give it three stars out of five.


“Shadows And Symbols” See this for a plot summary.

A non-political episode, but a good one, I give it three stars out of five.

“Afterimage” See this for a plot summary.

A non-political episode, but a good one, I give it three stars out of five.

“Take Me Out To The Holo-Suite” See this for a plot summary.

A non-political episode, but a good one. Baseball is one of two sports I still kind of enjoy watching and is the last sport I tried to play. So I like this episode. I give it three stars out of five.
