Star Trek DS9 Episode 167 - Penumbra

"Ezri searches for a missing Worf and Sisko makes plans to marry Kasidy Yates."


Here is where DS9 heads for the home stretch. Things start getting wrapped up and the plot begins moving towards the final episode. Worf is on a Klingon mission and he gets lost in the Badlands. Ezri goes searching for him and Sisko reluctantly lets her to go. Because why not send the therapist alone into a hostile environment to save a Klingon. Anyway, she finds him and he is irritated by her...so eventually they have sex. They still have some odd connection because it is still technically Dax, I think. Also, Sisko asks Kasidy to marry him....but the Prophets show up (in the guise of his dead wife) and tell him that marrying her is a bad idea.

Ezri and Worf get captured by the Breen. They are a new alien race and I sort of dig them. They are kind of badass looking. Soon Wayoun shows with a Cardassian and a Founder, it is reveled that the Dominion has a new alliance. In addition to this, Dukat has been surgically altered to look like a Bajoran and he has a really good plan up his sleeve to take down the Bajorans, this will be revealed next episode.

I thought of something while watching this episode. Isn't Sisko being the Emissary a conflict of interest for him being a high ranking Starfleet official. The Federation is supposed to be impartial I think, but the Emissary would somewhat beholden to the Prophets and Bajor.

167 down and 9 to go

I'll be honest, I've never really understood the entire emissary plotline.

Maybe I'm just lazy but I also never understood the emissary plotline OR the Dominion plotline. Still a great show
