the changing face of evil

Production 570
First Air Date: 4/28/99
Stardate Unknown

The crew's relief at Worf and Ezri's safe return is tempered by reports that the Breen have attacked Starfleet Headquarters on Earth. While Dominion and Breen commanders exult in their sneak attack, their supposed allies -- Cardassian leader Damar and his heavy, Gul Rusot -- secretly plot to free their homeland from Dominion occupation. Meanwhile, on Bajor, Dukat tells Kai Winn she must release the Pah-wraiths -- the non-corporeal enemies of her people's gods -- from the planet's fire caves by reading the ancient forbidden text of the Kosst Amojan.

Viewer's notes : From the moment he entered the room, it was obvious who he was -- just by his walk and how he held his shoulders. He projected a massive presence, swaggering, firm, and deep-voiced. (And with a bit of a fondness for drink.) The makeup is very heavy -- how they managed to take such a handsome man and make him homely must have been quite an effort. Anyway -- John put in a nice performance. His voice, as ever, is wonderful -- and his stage presence is awesome. He was in two segments tonight; and it's obvious they're going to build his character further as the war develops.

when it rains ...

Production 571
First Air Date: 5/5/99
Stardate Unknown

Synopsis:

Eager to aid Damar's rebel movement on his homeworld against the Dominion, Sisko orders Kira to put her antipathy for the Cardassian aside and train his staff in resistance tactics. She and Gul Rusot do not see eye-to-eye, and a showdown is imminent. Bashir asks Odo to assist in his medical project by donating the Changeling-equivalent of a skin sample. On Bajor, Kai Winn studies the forbidden text of the Kosst Amojan to learn how to release the evil Pah-wraiths. Hoping to ease Cardassian sentiment against the Bajoran Kira, Sisko gives her a Starfleet commission and uniform.

Viewer's notes : JV was outstanding! It looks like he's going to get his butt kicked by Kira next week, though ! He's a marvelous bad guy.

In this ep, Kira, Odo, and Garak go to the Cardassian Resistance to teach them how to fight as guerillas -- and JV doesn't like having his old enemy Kira as a teacher.
