Prior to this episode, a recurring theme for DS9 was "Cardassians trying to undermine the Bajoran government or at least Bajorans in prominent positions". As of this episode, all of that abruptly stopped, and the show's focus could shift from "helping Bajor get back on its feet" to ... well, whatever they felt like exploring next.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-27242592027768903752007-11-19T13:35:00.000-04:002007-11-19T13:35:00.000-04:00Google tells me that, indeed, you aren't making th...Google tells me that, indeed, you aren't making that up.

That same club began bombarding the offices with mail until Ira Behr shut them up with an appearance by the Mirror Bareil in "Resurrection." I was told by a former intern that subsequent mail from the organization went straight to the garbage bin, but I've never received confirmation from Ira or Ron Moore about that.Dehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10132196355430345167noreply@blogger.com
