Over All: |
|
|
|
|
|
A great and orginal episode, but a bit predictable, and it has |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
some big plot holes. |

Pros: |
|
|
|
|
- It was very interesting to see our heroes transported back to the |
|
|
|
|
past, but a past that is our future, very similar to present day life but with slight differnces.
- The Sancaury districts, is another commentary that reflects present day life. How some people are against well fare and don't give a crap about the homeless. I think it's very likely that people would want to lock them up just so they wouldn't have to see them anymore. If we're not careful we could end up having them, and that's what this episode is warning us against.
- I like the character of B.C., he brings great depth to this episode.
- This is one of the few episodes that we see Sisko bonding with Bashir. |

Cons: |
|
|
|
|
|
- The temporal timeline of this episode is way off. According to |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
this episode, When Sisko and Bashir change the timeline (for arguments sake) let's say 72 hours after they traveled back in time, For Kira, Obrien and Odo aboard the Defaint, the timeline isn't effected until 72 hours after Sisko and the others traveled back in time. That doesn't really seem right does it. It made more sense in TOS's "The City on the Edge of Forever" where when McCoy traveled back to the past and changed the timeline, as soon as McCoy time traveled the timeline was changed. Anything Sisko and Bashir did in the past to change the timeline, would all be in the past for Kira and O'Brien. So if they altered the timeline, the timeline should have been effected as soon as Sisko and the others time traveled. Further more, since Sisko, Dax, and Bashir restored the timeline before they left, The timeline shouldn't have been effected for Kira and O'Brien at all, since everything they did is all in past. It would have made more sense if Kira and O'Brien had a hand in restoring the timeline, and without them the timeline would not have been restored, but that wasn't the case, they seemed to have no hand what so ever in restoring it.
- This episode is also very predictable, as soon as they show Gabriele Bell getting killed, (even before they tell you that, that is Gabreile Bell) you know pretty much how the rest of episodes are going to turn out. |
