As the complexity of the war against the Dominion increases, the crew of DS9 find themselves “behind the lines” of the enemy. Sisko is promoted and removed from command of the Defiant, while Odo finds the allure of the Great Link to be irresistible.
While stationed at a starbase, Sisko is promoted to manage the war effort across multiple sectors. To enable this, command of the Defiant is given to Dax and she is sent on a mission to disable a Dominion sensor array that is providing valuable information to the Dominion about Federation ship movement. In the long tradition of Star Trek captains being removed from active command, Sisko begins to feel isolated and inconsequential.
Meanwhile, on DS9/Terok Nor, the underground resistance is at work trying to sabotage the Cardassian/Dominion alliance. The arrival of the Female Changeling complicates things as she can provide Odo with access to the Great Link. As the stakes for the resistance rise, Odo becomes distracted and a potential liability.
Behind the Lines was written by Rene Echevarria and contains his signature character work. It also sets up the finale to the DS9 Occupation arc and shows a curious blend of serialized narrative and episodic hang-ups. It feels both extremely modern and strangely old fashioned, with some of the usual Trek tropes (positive and negative) on full display.
Listen as Wes and Clay discuss where they think the show is working and not working in this serialized arc, “linking” as a metaphor for masturbation, and why Rom needed to die!
