Star Trek DS9 Episode 59 - Life Support

"Bashir's ethics are put to the test as he keeps Vedek Bareil alive long enough to help Kai Winn complete negotiations for a peace treaty with Cardassia."


Bareil (Kira's boyfriend) is injured in an accident and is brain dead. Bashir gives him a drug that makes him functional but he is still brain dead. After seven months the drug wears off and he will die. Reason being that he needs to be at an important negotiation Kai Wynn. So basically it's an homage to Weekend at Bernie's.

It's a really dumb plot actually. Also, the late great Lark Voorhies was in this episode. Oh, she is still alive? I assumed she was dead. I must be thinking of her brother Jason.

59 down and 117 to go
