  • For those who haven’t seen the episode, Sisko here is playing a bit of a role. He’s realized that Eddington sees himself as the hero and Sisko as a tragic villain, too obsessed with law and order to see what he’s become. Sisko decided that Eddington is too much of a threat to leave walking free, so he plays into Eddington’s beliefs, being the bad guy so Eddington will be the hero. A good hero always sacrifices himself to save innocents, so Sisko threatens innocents to prevent Eddington waging a protracted guerrilla campaign that would end with more death and destruction.

The problem with the Starfleet officers helping the Maquis is that they still thought like Starfleet officers. They were fighting a righteous cause and will carry on until victory. They would only settle with only victory.They ignored that they were a small band of rebels with a population less than a million people. You can't force a regional power to recognize you when you are just an annoyance at best. The Federation must have a population of close to a trillion people. I am willing to bet that even the Cardassians never attacked the Federation deep enough to convince the Federation to use the full might of Starfleet.

    • Well you can understand NO Klingon has ever seen true human aggression in person and by people they know. To finally actually see it he was like.. even a Klingon would not do such a think so recklessly. ITs a war crime basically. True sisko made them the least deadly mass weapon of destruction every used. But such total destruction. Is a dark action. Actions that is unhonorable dark twisted and at the same time VERY effective at winning in a battle or war. This is why Klingon's respect humans to some degree. Humans are weak and fragile for the most part compared to many other species and because of this they commit the worst acts of cruelty. Yet they also have honor codes and fight with passion. All things klingon's respect. majority of the badness of klingon's really is misplaced emotion. ANd is what i would expect any Space fairing Empire to embrace to keep a Effective and strong military.

  • During The Dominion War, Sisko was so respected by his superiors that they rallied around him. Starfleet valued his leadership so greatly that they allowed Sisko to quietly orchestrate many tactical aspects of The Dominion War. The Federation was sustaining HEAVY losses of personnel and equipment. It was Sisko who successfully fought off The Klingons at DS-9 and then convinced The Klingons to rejoin The Federation. It was Sisko who had a hand in crafting the scheme that caused The Romulans to break their non aggression treaty with The Dominion and fight alongside The Federation. It was Sisko who urged the Federation forces ahead during the battle above Cardassia Prime that eventually brought an end to Dominion War. It could be argued that without Benjamin Sisko, The Federation does not win The Dominion War. Kirk and Picard were good at winning battles. Sisko turned the tide of a war The Federation was losing badly and brought victory to The Federation. When a war must be won, give me Sisko and Janeway. Janeway defeated The Borg and all other combatants on her own with a ship that hadn't been properly upgraded or serviced since it departed from DS-9.

    • It makes sense considering he wasn't really completely Ben Sisko, but rather a prophet taken down into a corporeal and linear state of being. He was literally sent by creatures that exist outside of time to do those exact things. Or more precisely, he was sent by himself to do all of those things. Even after all of it was over, think of how many things he had to go in time to arrange so it would all fit into this particular point in time. The regular prophets had no concept of cause and effect. He had to physically go back in time and make sure every mention of the Prophets in Bajoran history was there for him to find later and use to win that specific war. Masterful storytelling. It was a giant game of Bill and Ted's excellent adventure in space. "Remember to go back in time and put the keys right behind this...!" "Here they are Ted." "Excellent!"

    • After two lifetimes of friendship, first as a mentor, then best friend, Dax trusts Sisko and vice versa. Dax understands the complexity of command and that choices have to be made when you wear that uniform because that's what she taught him as Curzon. She also knows not to subvert a commanding officer's orders and despite their informality with one another Sisko is her superior. She wouldn't countermand or criticize him even if she disagreed with his decision, (though she'd likely dress him down privately afterwards if it warranted that). I'd argue it's less loyalty to Sisko, though she *is*, rather a loyalty to the chain of command and a mutual understanding that the choices the commander makes are theirs to live with.

I asked him to sign my script of the final episode, and I had wanted him to sign it in a specific spot next to the "to the finest crew..." dialogue . He took it from me and I pointed to the line. In his absolute pissed off Sisko voice, he goes "WAIT A MINUTE"! He wanted to read the entire page first so he could choose where he wanted to sign it. He signed it where I originally asked, but I will never forget the Sisko tone he used with me. This clip reminds me of that day, and I still get chills that I too, got yelled at by Captain Sisko.

All while sitting in his chair and spinning around like a bored Bond villain; definitely my favourite captain, though Janeway also had a crazed ruthless streak in her that could be unintentionally hilarious. Also love the stares Sisko gets here from Worf and Kira, the two most hardened members of the DS9 crew IMO.

    • @@REB4444 No he didn't. In Starfleet ship captains are given considerable leeway when operating significantly far away from the more established portions of the Federation. At this point in time the Maquis had basically declared their independence from the Federation even though the Federation had not and would not accepted it. Attacking a Starfleet flagged ship and making the biological equivalent of dirty bombs, the Maquis placed themselves on a platform that the Federation (who were working hard to not ignite an new war with Cardassian Empire) could not and would not tolerate. So operating under the rather broad directions of "Do not allow this grass roots separatist group to reignite a war between the Federation and Cardassian Empire." Sisko set about eliminating a group of domestic terrorists, who had made themselves an untenable threat to the Federation. I mean seriously, the Maquis basically attacked the real world equivalent of a Nuclear Weapons train, stole enough Nuclear Material to make dirty bombs, retreated to Guam, and started broad casting their intent to go nuke Russia to the world at large. If that didn't cause the US armed forces to employ scorched earth tactics to prevent WW3 I don't know what would!

Nog is the bridge talker and when Sisko calls a speed Nog says "engine-room bridge; warp six". I do not believe any other Star Trek ship bothered with having a bridge talker and instead made the captain have to call the engine room himself or had the speed set by the bridge consoles. The captain has other things to worry about than calling the engine room for speed changes and on a ship with as complicated of propulsion systems as Defiant or Enterprise direct control throttles would not be likely.

They formed to defend themselves against the Cardassians who kept coming after them, then when the Cardassians whined to the Federation about the Federation Citizens in the DMZ daring to defend themselves, the Federation "had" to go after them because politics. The Federation should have said "LOL, too bad, you agreed to this when you agreed to let them stay in the DMZ. Have fun" Remember the Cardassians said "Leave us alone, we'll leave you alone" when the Federation and Cardassians renegotiated the treaty that put all those Federation Wolds inside Cardassian space. Turns out that was a lie. The Cardassians began to attack the colonists, and then complained to the Federation when the colonists defended themselves.

  • One thing to keep in mind about this scene is the context - the reason Eddington keeps calling Sisko "Javert" is because he sees himself as Jean Van Jean - the hero of the story, that is. And he sees Sisko as the antagonistic villain that he must continuously outwit in order to win. So what does Sisko do? Simple - he plays the role that Eddington gives him. He deliberately makes himself APPEAR to be a bloodthirsty madman hellbent on capturing Eddington, no matter the cost, because that would in turn give Eddington the opportunity to play the role of martyr - the man who heroically, selflessly, turned himself in in order to spare his people the madman's rage. Sisko basically tricked Eddington into turning himself over. He knew that what Eddington wanted most was a Federation villain, so he endeavored to give him exactly what he wanted.

    • Sadly, I can only admit that DS9 absolutely destroyed Starfleet's image of morality. This is why I didn't like it as a teenager in the 90s. Once TNG hit "Chains of Command" in Season 6 and DS9 continued that thread with things like Section 31 and leaking the information that the Romulans and Cardassians used to try to destroy the Founders' home planet (while Starfleet sat on their butts and watched) and the despicable way the Federation betrayed the Maquis for their own selfish interests (hence why I nicknamed Admiral Nakamura "Admiral Scumbag"), I felt Starfleet was an abomination I would have wanted nothing to do with if I lived in their universe. A society without a moral compass, one that they adhere to even when things are tough or the enemy is not bound by such morality, is a society doomed to rot and fall. You can see the results of this society in Star Trek Picard. Even Star Trek Renegades (which came before it) could do no better with what they were left to work with at the end of DS9. Avery Brooks played the part VERY well, but the act of surrendering your morality and attacking innocent people to "get your man" is not service to a uniform. It is betraying all that it stands far even more than Eddington ever could. Starfleet was simply too far gone at that point for it to matter, though. If there's one super-power our people have, it's the ability to make any paradise into a dystopia, and we always do so in the same very predictable ways. How does it start? One group lifts themselves over another group of people. Then, the "lesser" people strike back, and "greater" people 'punish' them for it. The "lesser" people raise their martyrs on a flag and the attacks crescendo into ever-greater viciousness until one side is basically destroyed. Then, the winning side starts oppressing someone else, and the whole cycle starts all over again like hamsters running on a hamster wheel. Welcome to human history... and fiction. -.-

I think Worf always knew where he stood with Picard...but he was less certain with Sisko. There was always a hard limit to what Picard would or would not do. Sisko had to be more "flexible". Hell, he engineered a plot to trick the Romulans into joining the war against the Dominion: He consorted with spies and criminals, sold dangerous and illegal technology, had official documents forged, and inadvertently murdered a Romulan senator... And he could live with it, because it had to be done. Who wouldn't be intimidated by a person who is capable of that?

    • @@uni4rm as Q was never explored in DS9 beyond that one appearance, we don't know why he was happy to sit out through all of what's going on - the writers didn't want to use the character, which is fair, but I always wondered if his last words on the show hinted that the writers had indeed thought about the implications of Q within the DS9 story - for example, what kind of interactions would the Prophets have with a Q? 'You're much easier to provoke [than Picard]... how fortunate for me.' I think they either figured that Q would have no or limited ability to go against the Prophets, and Sisko being where he is means that Q doesn't have to get involved anymore, as Sisko would be up for the fight that I'm sure Q knew was coming down the line... or it's a throwaway line that was meant to hint that Q might have found ways to cause real mischief with Sisko's short fuse, in just plain-old Q style. Who knows.

  • Michael Dorn appeared as Worf in 284 episodes and five movies. More then any other actor in Star Trek history. Thank god as he is an amazing actor playing an amazing character. And thanks to such high number of appearances he is the alien character which was explored the most. In second place is Star Trek legend Colm Meaney as Chief Miles O'Brien who appeared in a total of 225 episodes, but unlike Dorn was not always named, credited or given lines, also didn't appear in any of the movies.

  • Sisko did this because the Maquis used the same tactic against the Cardassians. They thought they could get away with making Cardassian planets uninhabitable for Cardassians and colonising them themselves-and that Federation values would stop Sisko from stopping them. The problem is? The Maquis failed to understand that Sisko was sent to what amounts to the frontier by Starfleet for more than one reason. He was sent to help the Bajoran's rebuild and make sure the Cardassian's never threatened the territory again, yes. But he was also sent out there to protect and defend any and all Federation interests by whatever means necessary. The Maquis leader was a former Starfleet officer who served under Sisko before abandoning his duty and responsibilities, betraying Sisko and all his people in the process, to fight alongside rebels who threatened to restart a War because they no longer trusted the Federation and saw Cardassian's as nothing but the enemy. He even left some ugly surprises aboard the Defiant and DS9 just to prove he had utterly abandoned Federation values and beliefs. He committed High Treason against the Federation to do it. Sisko took this both personally and professionally. He didn't like what the Maquis were doing, but for one of his to do what this man did? He'd have hunted him down right across the galaxy. Sisko understood people die in War better than the Maquis ever did. This is how he reminds them.

    @Creasy5678@Creasy5678 Жыл бұрын

    • Agreed. Eddington openly attacked the Malinche, stole industrial replicators meant as aid to the new Cardassian government during a time of war with the Klingons, who had pulled out of the Khitomer Accords and were thus hostile to the Federation, and used banned biological weapons without a second thought, thus proving that he was a continuing threat to the Federation and everyone around him. The Maquis were never going to last, making powerful enemies like that. The Dominion took the kid gloves off, and they were gone.
