Summary [ ].

The Provisional Government of Bajor invites Starfleet to help them rebuild after the Cardassian Occupation . Commander Benjamin Sisko is selected to take command of their space station , formerly known as Terok Nor that is then designated by Starfleet as Deep Space 9 . As part of the agreement between the Federation and Bajor, Starfleet will help them to become a member of the Federation.

The Federation involvement in the Bajor sector changes galactic history forever, as Starfleet discovers the Bajoran wormhole , the only stable wormhole known to exist, that leads to the largely unexplored Gamma Quadrant of the Galaxy .

The other crew of Deep Space 9 include Kira Nerys , functioning as the Bajoran liaison officer , Odo as the security chief of the station, Julian Bashir as chief medical officer , Miles O'Brien as the station's chief of operations , and Jadzia Dax , a joined Trill as the station's science officer .

Residents of the station include Quark , a Ferengi barkeeper, his brother Rom and Rom's son, Nog . Benjamin Sisko's son Jake and Miles' wife Keiko O'Brien and daughter Molly O'Brien also live aboard the station. The most enigmatic station resident is the station's tailor, Elim Garak , who has a mysterious past.

In their first year together, the crew are infected with an aphasia virus , visited by aliens who make the wishes and fantasies or fears of all station residents come true, meet a hunted species of aliens, known as Tosk and have an encounter with the omnipotent Q . Quark briefly becomes Grand Nagus , Lwaxana Troi visits the station, a Cardassian called Aamin Marritza tries to get his people to admit to the crimes they committed on Bajor, and the disappearance of Kai Opaka thrusts Bareil Antos and Winn Adami into the spotlight.

Reception [ ].

• Production staff have admitted that the first season of DS9 was somewhat lacking in direction. According to co-creator and executive producer Michael Piller , " When you look at the first season of Deep Space Nine , essentially what I think you see is our intention to do stories that bring in fans of The Next Generation . If you create a space station that is at the crossroads of the universe , then you basically have the justification for bringing in old friends from past episodes. Their ships would normally come through this crossroads, and we felt that was a good way to bring viewers to the show. I think by the second season , we were looking more at standing on our own two feet, and we hadn't been entirely satisfied. When we really started doing stories about our space station , and really made it unique to itself, that's when the series, I think, really became special. " ( New Frontiers: The Story of Deep Space Nine , DS9 Season 2 DVD , Special Features) Ira Steven Behr commented, " There are things I find weak about some of these shows that have nothing to do with the writing. Many of the shows at the beginning of the season lacked pacing. " ( Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages , p. 42)
• Piller also explained, however, that the first season was something of a training exercise for the writers; " I think that when you have a wonderful group of actors, you learn how to write for them in the first season. Every show has a shake-down period during the first season, and Deep Space Nine was no different. But I can tell you that we learned so many things as we got to know our actors. " ( New Frontiers: The Story of Deep Space Nine , DS9 Season 2 DVD , Special Features)
• Rick Berman was pleased with the season, particularly compared to the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation . Berman commented, " I'm very pleased with the way the first season has gone in a lot of respects. First seasons of television shows tend to be potentially very chaotic. The first season of Next Generation certainly was. This season has been very peaceful in terms of the actors, the crew, the writers and the budgets. As far as the episodes, there are things about them that I love and things about them I don't love. That's the way it is, if we were completely satisfied with what we did, we wouldn't be doing what we do. We're always looking to make things better. What I'm most pleased with is the fact that the concept is working and we've managed to create 20 stories that I think all hang pretty well on the armature that we've built, the backstory and the characters. " ( The Deep Space Log Book: A First Season Companion , p. 7)
• Behr commented:" I really liked the pilot. I thought the pilot gave us a great jumping-off point. But part of the frustration was the pilot really worked and now we're doing this scattershot kind of technique in season one, where we seem to be scrambling all over the place, trying to find our identity. And the identity was firmly established in the pilot, so why are we looking to change that, or go in other directions? Let's just follow the path that was laid out in the pilot. Why are we deviating and trying to go back in time or go back to "The Next Generation"? The pilot wasn't "TNG," why are we trying to do episodes that could easily be adapted for "TNG"? It was just finding our mojo, which we found towards the end of season one ". [1]
• This season was broadcast concurrent with Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 6 .
• Gene Roddenberry was well aware of the concept of DS9 before his death so this was the last Star Trek series with which he was connected. [2]
• Characters who ' crossover ' from TNG include Miles O'Brien (as a main character), Jean-Luc Picard (also as Locutus ) in " Emissary ", Lursa and B'Etor in " Past Prologue ", Keiko O'Brien & Molly O'Brien as recurring characters from " A Man Alone ", Q and Vash in " Q-Less ", and Lwaxana Troi in " The Forsaken ".
• Many important recurring characters make their first appearances in this season, including Gul Dukat (" Emissary "), Nog (" Emissary "), Rom (" Emissary ", first named in " A Man Alone "), Morn (" Emissary ", first named in " Vortex "), Elim Garak (" Past Prologue "), Zek (" The Nagus "), Maihar'du (" The Nagus "), Winn Adami (" In the Hands of the Prophets ") and Bareil Antos (" In the Hands of the Prophets ").

“Duet” – DS9 1X19

I’ll give you a really quick summary in case you haven’t seen “Duet”, but you really should see it. I challenge all those Trekkers who never got into DS9 because they think you can’t tell exciting stories stuck on a space station to watch this episode and maintain that opinion.

So basically, a Cardassian comes to Deep Space Nine for treatment for a syndrome that Kira knows could only have been caused by exposure after a mining accident at the infamous Gallitep labor camp. Kira helped liberate the camp and gets justifiably emotional recalling the atrocities committed there. She wants the man, who says he is only a file clerk called Aamin Marritza, charged with war crimes.

Kira grapples with her desire for revenge as Bashir, Dax and Odo investigate Marritza’s identity. A key piece of evidence from the Bajoran Central Archives leads them to discover the man in the holding cell is, in fact, Gul Darhe’el, the “Butcher of Gallitep”.

When Kira confronts him he admits it and practically taunts her about all the pain he caused the Bajorans (“What you call genocide I call a day’s work”). After the exchange, Kira is really shaken and she confides in Odo. But further investigation reveals once and for all that the Cardassian is who he said he first was: the file clerk Aamin Marritza.

He refuses to admit it at first, and amps up his Darhe’el rhetoric. But when Kira presses he finally breaks down:

“I covered my ears every night, but… I couldn’t bear to hear those horrible screams. You have no idea what it’s like to be a coward. To see these horrors, and do nothing.”

Kira goes to release him but he says he wanted to be executed to help Cardassia admit its guilt and take responsibility for their atrocities. 

But Kira tells him she can’t help kill another innocent person. A while later Kira walks Marritza on the promenade to his ship home when a Bajoran runs up and fatally stabs him.

“Why?!” Kira says in anguish, “He wasn’t Darhe’el! Why?!” “He’s a Cardassian; that’s reason enough,” replies the Bajoran man. “No, it’s not.”

It was hard to figure out exactly what I wanted to say in this review, because the episode is so good and there’s so much I could talk about. I could talk about how it shows a bottle episode with good writing has just as much potential as a non-bottle episode. I could talk about how it’s a real turning point for Kira in coping post-occupation and maybe one of the first signs of Odo’s deep care for her. I could talk about the incredible acting and how it brings tears to my eyes. I could talk about the awesome scene where Kira confides to Dax about her desire for revenge, even if Marritza ends up being just a file clerk.

But instead I want to talk about maybe a less obvious and less discussed aspect: what this episode says about Sisko’s relationship with Kira and his command style.

Sisko has tough decisions in this episode. He has to balance protecting due process for Marritza with supporting his first officer in her quest for truth and justice for her people. And having Gul Dukat breathing down his neck probably doesn’t help.

Initially he seems to be worried that Kira’s prejudices might lead to a rush to judgement, but when he recommends putting Odo in charge of the case instead, Kira argues passionately, and Sisko listens and respects her:

Kira: You think this is all some personal vendetta on my part, don’t you? Sisko: I think you’re too close to be objective, yes. Kira: You’re right, I’m not objective. But I’m your first officer, and I give you my word I will conduct myself accordingly. You once said we were friends. I’m asking you now as a friend, please, let me conduct this investigation. I owe it to them. Sisko: You mean the victims. Kira: That’s right. The ones who moved too slowly and never moved again. I’m asking for all the Bajorans who can’t ask. Let a Bajoran do this. 

Sisko pauses and then hails Odo to tell him Kira will lead the investigation. 

You could argue he should’ve said no, that Odo would’ve been as capable of discerning the truth, but this decision makes me respect Sisko massively.

It takes guts to acknowledge that you empathize with but can’t fully appreciate where someone more marginalized than you is coming from, to say they have a right to space and voice based on their unique perspective. 

It’s hard for a Trek audience to appreciate and respect a character if they’re written as not being respected and appreciated by the captain (see Dr. Pulaski’s first episode or early Wesley Crusher). Kira and Sisko’s early relationship is so unique and powerful because it’s fraught with conflict, but Sisko never loses respect or empathy for her.

Instead of dismissing her emotions or berating her for them, Sisko steps back and gives Kira space to work through them. It’s recognized that her feelings are legitimate because of what she went through in the occupation. And they don’t make her any less capable of doing her job.

It’s a huge step forward for women in Star Trek and pop culture in general. Instead of having her emotions be a liability (a la Hoshi) or being asked to be emotionless, Kira (and later B’Elanna) are accepted, feelings and all.

Bechdel-Wallace Test : Pass. In the first scene Dax tells Kira about when she misbehaved as a child. Later, Kira confides in Dax about her feelings about the case and Dax is there as an awesome voice of reason and insight.

may not be Canonical depending on your own point of view. Note 2: Any assistance/suggestions people could give me in terms of arranging/ordering the episodes for DS9 Season 6/Voyager Season 4 and DS9 Season 7/Voyager Season 5 would be greatly appreciated. Note 3: First post updated to place Dax back in production/story order in spite of its Stardate. Note 4: First post updated to correct an unconscious error I'd made in accidentally flipping Sanctuary and The Alternate  

Tosk Admiral Admiral

Regardless of stardates, I wouldn't split multi-parters that way. No way there's time for four eps of VOY between Homefront and Paradise Lost , or seven eps of DS9 between Basics part 1 and 2 .  

^ Actually, there is. Homefront's Stardate is 49170.65 (placing its events in March), while Paradise Lost's Stardate is 49364 (placing its events in May). That's a gap of a little more than 2 months. As for Basics 1 and 2, the Stardate I have for Part 1 is 49700.0 (placing its events in September), with the listed Stardate for Part 2 being 50032.7 (placing its events in January, which is a gap of about 4 months. Both DS9 and Voyager had a habit of jumping ahead significantly in time between the events of Parts 1 and 2 of some of their multiparters.  

DigificWriter said: ↑ As for Basics 1 and 2, the Stardate I have for Part 1 is 49700.0 (placing its events in September), with the listed Stardate for Part 2 being 50032.7 (placing its events in January, which is a gap of about 4 months. Click to expand...

Aside from Lifesigns and Investigations, Voyager was diligent and meticulous in its use of Stardates (as was DS9), so it makes no sense to ignore Stardates because you're basically ignoring narrative intent by doing so. If Stardates weren't important, they wouldn't have been used. Anyway, this is getting somewhat off-subject. Does anybody have suggestions as to how to chronologically arrange DS9 Season 6/Voyager Season 4 and DS9 Season 7/Voyager Season 5?  

http://thestartrekchronologyproject.blogspot.com.au/ Also, where does your stardate for Basics part 1 even come from? The ep doesn't actually have one.  

^ The problem with that particular listing is that it isn't "technically" chronological given that it more or less just relies on airdate rather than actual storyline narrative relative to individual arcs, episodes, and events. Regarding the Basics 1 Stardate, I cribbed it from another user's post in a thread that was posted on here a few years back: http://www.trekbbs.com/threads/chronological-viewing-order-missing-ds9-voy-stardates-found.212584/

ok, you already answered my question. Nevertheless it is not really convinving...I also would not put Basic Part 1 in September and Part 2 in January.

I'm choosing to assume that the person who posted the Stardate for Basics 1 and others didn't just arbitrarily make up the number he/she gave, meaning that it came from somewhere at least semi-official, even if it wasn't ultimately used in the episode itself.

Didn't the video releases of the time have stardates printed on them? Unfortunately if nothing was ever specified in the episode then the video company made them up. Ah here we go. Found it. This was the cover of Voyager 3.1 released in the UK by CIC video. http://assets.catawiki.nl/assets/2015/2/23/2/a/2/2a2e7a3e-bb61-11e4-8480-b77c24f60d99.jpg

Just trying to find a picture of 2.11 (with Basics, part 1) and failing.  

Hmm it's not great but here's the cover on Amazon. I can't make out the stardate listing as the image is so poor but there's definitely a stardate there. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Star-Trek-...96&sr=8-1&keywords=star+trek+voyager+vhs+2.11

You can't go by made up stardates for a VHS cover. Not unless you're willing to accept that DS9's fourth season episodes Little Green Men, Crossfire, and Return to Grace actually happened during the first half of DS9's third season. Not to mention the VHS cover placing Homefront and Paradise Lost in the same period despite having proper on-screen stardates given.
