Storyline

- TriviaAfter deciding not to make T'Rul a recurring character (see below), the producers also decided not to use the cloaking device beyond "The Search, Part I". Indeed, they actually planned to mention early in the season that the cloak had been returned to the Romulans. So certain were they that it wouldn't be used again that they even informed production designer Herman F. Zimmerman and director of photography Jonathan West, and told them that they didn't need to design an elaborate lighting rig because the dimming effect seen when the ship is under cloak would only ever be seen once. As such, Zimmerman's set design didn't allow room for West to construct a rig which could contain the set-up necessary for both normal lighting and cloaked lighting. Instead, West had his crew simply manually change the lights for the scenes under cloak. Of course, only a few episodes later, in Defiant (1994), the cloak was once again employed, and many times after that, but the set and the lighting rig were never redesigned, so every time the ship went under cloak, West had to have his crew manually change all of the lights, something which he was quite annoyed about.
- GoofsAs soon as Odo got to the bridge, the Jem'Hadar should have halted their attack, since they revered the Founders as deities and wouldn't dare harm one.

Major Kira: Where are we?
Odo: We're approaching the Omarion Nebula.
Major Kira: You should have taken us back to the wormhole.

Major Kira: I was unconscious!

Featured review
Thems a lot 'o changes....
With the final episode of the previous season, the Federation came into contact with the Dominion's soldiers, the Jem'Hadar. These super-soldiers are insanely powerful, 100% dedicated to their masters and see humans as worthless maggots. And, in battle, the Jem'Hadar seriously kicked the Federation's butts! So, when season three begins, there are some big changes in store in order to meet this awful threat.
Commander Sisko is away doing briefings with Starfleet. When he returns, he has a HUGE surprise for everyone...a new ship! The USS Defiant is a very small but insanely powerful ship designed to meet the threat of the Borg. But, now that the Borg threat seems to have gone, it's to be based at Deep Space 9 in order to help protect it. But the biggest surprise is that this super-ship has a cloaking device--and a Romulan officer to serve on her!! Obviously the Romulans now consider the Dominion to be a greater threat than the Federation. Plus, over the last few seasons of "Star Trek: The Next Generation", the Federation has done a lot to improve relationships with their old enemies.
This two-part episode concerns the Defiant's first mission into the Gamma Quadrant. The plan is to sneak through the wormhole and take the attack to the Jem'Hadar and hopefully find their masters, the Founders--who are the real force behind the Dominion. Unfortunately, the ship, though powerful, fairs VERY poorly and Odo and Kira escape in a pod...seemingly before the ship is destroyed.
Chock full of excitement and violent--that's what I like in this series. While it took a long time to happen,...it's here! Well worth seeing.
