Star Trek DS9 Episode 149 - The Sound of Her Voice

"The Defiant picks up a distress call from Captain Lisa Cusak, whose escape pod has crashed on a remote planet following the destruction of her ship, the Olympia."

There is really not much else to this episode. Each individual member of the crew spends time talking to Captain Cusak as she slowly dies. They are trying to get to her in time, but it's going to be close. Meanwhile she sort of acts like a therapist as she helps everyone solve personal problems. They finally arrive on the planet to find Lisa dead. The thing is that she dies three years ago! This very night!! Due to a time distortion, they had been talking to her past self. It was actually a very interesting episode. Deb Wilson (from MadTV) played Lisa Cusak and was excellent.


(Side plot: Odo plans to celebrate his one month anniversary with Kira)

149 down and 27 to go

this episode was okay. If I recall correctly they don't talk to her after they find her dead body on the planet. Like she stopped transmitting after they got to the planet. Would have been better if they had to still talk to her after knowing she was dead.

This sounds brilliant. How come I have no memory of it?

It was a great episode. That is a good point, just because they find her doesn't mean that the communication had to end...I don't think
