DS9's deepest dive into blatant serialization yet comes to a close in the two-parter "Favor the Bold" and "Sacrifice of Angels"! The Federation is sick of being on the back foot, but their plans to take back DS9 and the wormhole are sped up when it is revealed that the Dominion has finally figured out how to take down the minefield! Can an insufficient fleet actually take on the Dominion? What can the little Resistance inside Terok Nor do, especially with Odo off in la-la-link-Land? And why the hell did the Chief and Bashir think quoting "Charge of the Light Brigade" was a good idea?!
Also this week: a sensuous opening, puppet types, and a quite literal deus ex machina.
