Sisko is ordered to lead an attack for the Dominion war.
The story is very eventful and contains some key moments of the overarching narrative. Unfortunately there is one main event that never should have happened and for me is a failure on the part of everyone who made it happen.
Despite the above, overall it works well as a story because of the excitement generated by the mission and how it develops the arcs of characters like Sisko and Dukat. I like the use of the baseball, but think having a character verbally point it out is OTT when it could have been done visually.
Several actors are on good form, particularly Marc Alaimo, Jeffrey Coombs, Avery Brooks, Terry Farrell, and Michael Dorn.
Visually the space battle scenes are great and were especially good at the time of its original broadcast.
For me it's a 7.5/10, but I round upwards.
