The losses continue to pile up for the Federation. They’re forced to play a cat-and-mouse game against the Dominion – attacking only to turn right around and fall back to a retreat. Captain Sisko has had enough of the losing and suggests a plan to retake Deep Space 9 from the Dominion and regain control of the Bajoran Wormhole.

On Terok Nor/DS9, Kira and the rest of the resistance learn the shocking news that the minefield is going to be deactivated within a few days. Once down, thousands of Jem’Hadar ships will be able to enter the Alpha Quadrant and all hope will be lost. And Odo is no help – he’s been wasting his days in his quarters, “linking” with the Female Changeling and ignoring his duties and responsibilities.

The serialized “DS9 Occupation” arc of the sixth season comes to a close with the action packed two-parter, “Favor the Bold” and “Sacrifice of Angels”! Star Trek: DS9 has gone where no Trek series has gone before, and they’ve come out whole on the other side but certainly not without some mishaps along the way. A triumph, but at the same time a learning experience.

In this episode of the podcast, Wes and Clay discuss the arc as a product of its time and what they take away from the experience of watching it. They discuss the winners and losers of the entire affair and try to understand the hesitancy of the executives who wanted to cut the story line short.

Plus! They discuss the kinky stuff that Changelings get up to in the bedroom, the ballsy decision to use “gods” in a deus ex machina ending, and where Dukat stands in the pantheon of Star Trek villains.
