Re: DS9 S2: The Jem'Hadar

I recall watching this back in the 90's and beoing open mouthed that the Odyssey was blown up and definitely did not see the twist at the end coming. I am rewatching the Star Trek franchise in in universe order since 2018 and a now am at the DS 9 time period. This episode is on the T.V right now as I type, I give it 3.5 stars, it wold get four stars if i did not ignoe the gfamping plot hole of sending a startship for a rescue missiopn rather than the Starfleet verison of Macos to resuce the commander who is an important offcerin being in charge of the wormhole via the Bajoran state. The teen actors are great in this, well written and well acted.
As for the Dominion's 'we claim the whole Gamma quadrant' attitude, I disagree with their claim and UFP was right not to recognise it, however the UFP does have a habit of sticking its flag in areas before checking that is ok with the neighbours hence their issues with the Cardessians. A reflection of real life Western European colonial attitiude perhaps? Space is vast and in the Star Trek universe, homeworlds live almost rescource excess lifes so why would you want to lay your bed right next to Klingon, Romulan or Dominion territory? Madness!
