But it grew from there into feeling that all Solids were not to be trusted that they would do the same given the chance. So, while the original reasons made sense. Just like any other race or government that finally gets to where they feel safe and secure, they turn it into oppression and the basic: "The Solids are nothing like us."

Also since this was the milestone 100th episode it really packed punches left and right. Even at the end when the Changling died and all the Jem'hadar committed suicided as result. Something I think that really stapled the Dominion's faults was they never felt they could trust others. Why the Changlings created the Dominion in the first place because others feared them and they got it in their heads: "Solids can't be trusted, so let's rule them instead." When as it was pointed out, they could have trusted each other and moved on. I still do wonder how the Changling did die in the end. Not sure if it was because of holding a form so long as we know that was lethal, even the other Founders basically said the Great Link was their way of staying away from that limit. Since they were in liquid form majority of the time. As for the Vorta, as we know even when they were killed, they were cloning them right afterwards or had them in status. So, even with this Vorta most likely was going to be killed for failing. The Changlings would have been: "Well, activate the new clone." The main female Changling was actually scared when Garek killed Wayune's last clone. I think despite everything the Changlings needed the Vorta to keep the Jem'hadar under control outside using Kacasile White to keep them addicted. Sure, they might kill them now and again or the Vorta would commit suicide, but if they didn't have their clone facilities they didn't have their Yes Men to keep things in check. Something too by the time the series ended, the Dominion was in pretty bad shape from the Cardassians to the Founders. But as they say, War is Hell.

Exactly and even with her returning to her own band, her little hair dyes or extensions were pretty natural too for her character and look. I felt they really realized the difference between season 1 Steph and season 2. She wasn't in that type of life style anymore and had gone more to being a business partner with Kimmy and doing her own gigs on the side. Reminded me a lot of Jesse from season 3-5 before the Rippers kicked him out.

That's my point exactly. We know in the series finale when they had to go there, the Federation knew where they were at the end. Even mentioned briefly in Nemesis.

Something that always bothered me with season 3 ending in The Advistary was if Odo wouldn't have done anything, his fellow Changling was will to let him die on the Defiant. But, oh no, Odo killed him so he must be judged because no Changling had done that before. That episode also hammered in who would be the best person to replace that no one would suspect which was Bashire as we found out later that he had been a Changling since early season 5 as Rick Berman and Michael Pillar revealed in past interviews on how long it wasn't the real Julian. If you also check how he was acting after the season 5 premiere it just wasn't... Julian. He was very coy about things and was lacking of a bit of emotions at times. However, back to this episode, it was well done from beginning to end and something that bothered me when the Dominion scrabbled their sensors to avoid where their new planet was. Really, there isn't tech int eh 24th century they couldn't have took a pic of the constellations and used their Gamma Quadrant star charts to determine where they were?

I never liked Sarah as Becky either, never felt right. Loved her on Scrubs, but please bring Lecy back.

Honestly after the Cardassians joined the Dominion and basically just drove everyone off. I wanted a scene where the main people in the Federation didn't go: "Dammit!" "Why can't we all just get along!" "All these years and the Cardassians just gave us the middle finger." I wanted to go: "They gave you the middle finger since season 4 of TNG.

My honest opinion of the Maquis was they made great points because the Cardassians basically took advantage of the situation and the Federation just turned a blind eye to everything. However, with that said, the Maquis did go too far and when the Cardassians joined the Dominion and they were basically all wiped out. I agreed with Sisko with: "Yes, you drove them right into the hands of the Dominion, great job!"

Nope!

No, I mean when the second season started, there was the comment from Riker about how Geordi was Mr. Engineer now and Wesley was now the helmsman. Worf going from Red to Gold made sense because by then the transition was complete as head of security. Then again when Geordi went from senior LT to LT Commander in season 4, that was never explained either, just he got a promotion sometime after Best of the Both Worlds Part II.

That was the point they had to make with Leon being so accepted during that period of time. Something that bothered me about his character even when I was in my early double digits watching the show was how this guy was ever a manager of a food chain. If he was a former cook then I could see it. When we saw him in the first Vegas episode, he was very rude and an ass to the customers to the where Roseanne was never like that. I also remember when the investigation with the staff over his qualifications as a manager were called into question. We know that he took the manager job because of his boyfriend's business investment that didn't go anywhere. Explaining why he ended up as the manager at the mall. You also have to add into the fact that when he first left he went to take a promotion as district manager or something. I felt like Leon was this guy who got thrown into the food business. Got a a promotion because someone either left or was fired and he just ran with it and had great timing. I mean he ended up a food sanitation inspector when he showed up a few years later. Even in the 90s that isn't a job you just get. You have to have at least five years of food sanitation experience, a certificate and be able to teach classes. The timeline worked, but I felt the writers were just like: "Hey people get food manager and higher paying food paying jobs without really trying, let's say that with Leon." I mean if it wasn't for Bev giving her portion of the Lunchbox to Leon, I highly doubt he would have been able to be in a business model. I even remembering back then: "Where the hell is Leon getting the money buy Roseanne out?" I mean we know that the buy in with everyone when they did the Lunchbox was over $180K

It also in my opinion became a Treaty that needed to be updated and revisited after the Dominion War was over. Even in Star Trek Nemesis there were times where it seemed like the Romulans had shot themselves in the foot so many times why the Senate was killed at the beginning of the movie. Also, how the Admiral did made good points about how phase cloak was to level the playing field.

I agree, because while the abusive father was because of Roseanne's own life. The entire: "cheating, and pregnant" never happened in real life at all. She came from a poor family where her parents had married under very normal circumstances, just that her father was horrible and the mother didn't really do anything. The episode that aired recently was where DJ was dared to steal the car and got caught and how Jackie acted when Roseanne spanked him repeatedly over doing something so stupid. Even Dan saying to Jackie how he had it coming because he could have killed someone. I did wonder just how stupid DJ had to do this on a dare not to mention being a pre-teen how he even was able to drive it and yet the friend who dared DJ was never shown or even a phone call about his place in all of it. This was also the situation where Leon wanted to buy Roseanne out, he still came across a smug asshole because he wanted the Lunchbox to go his way like at Robdell's and saw that Roseanne was the weak leak and turned Jackie and Nancy against her because Leon liked their ideas and Roseanne did. Then he did them, but let's face it. That is a typical person who is trying to push others out. They turn their coworkers/managers against them and then after that person is gone, they start pushing those people out and getting their own people in. Too bad, the writers didn't go there either.

Something the show I did very right was why Roseanne and Jackie had problems with Bev because they grew up in a house where their father was abusive and she just let it happened. After Nanna Mary admitted that their parents got married because Bev was pregnant with Roseanne and a "good wife" stands by her husband no matter what. It was a situation that even years later messed them all up and yet other people like Nancy and even Fred were like: "Why are you so mean towards your mother?" Yet, the only one who got it was Dan due to his parents divorce and his father hiding his mother's mental problems. In his situation he hated his father because he believed and was lead to believe that his father cared more about paying the bills than raising the family. Even years later when the truth came out, Dan's father admitting he did screw up, but yes he felt he was protecting Dan from the truth, which we knew hit him hard when he learned the truth about everything.

I agree, plus since Lothal is pretty much the main building for the TIE Defender and other Empire special weapons, it would set the Empire back on their building, but nothing really to the point where they go: "Well, the Rebellion could now ruin it all." Like in Rogue One where having the ability to destroy the Death Star was something the Empire couldn't have.

Seeing that this will all culminate to the battle of Lothal and why the TIE Defenders were never used in the main movies and what happened to Ezra and Kannan. I'm not surprised. We know that Chopper survived as shown in Rogue One and was confirmed that was him and the same with the Ghost.

Also a favorite one mine, I also love a great exchange between Rom, Quark and Odo. Rom: "We've had to make a lot of adjustments to this holosuite." Odo: "There's a spatula in there!" Quark: "Hey, Rom knows what works."

That's exactly it. Riggs still wants to have Meredith when she doesn't want him (or does, who knows). Stephanie has been beaten to the point she is probably going to leave medicine. Amelia is still: "I can change the rules and I'll have brainless babies no matter what!" Everything with Katherine and Bailey screwing up the teaching program is still going. Nothing has happened this season outside of Jackson meeting his father.

Sad to say, this episode also introduced Red Squad and if this didn't paint their end a season later. I don't know what would.

So, here is the question. Why the HELL did the plane take off if they knew they were going to go through 2 yes count them 2 DANGEROUS storm systems? Yeah, the entire season and Riggs come across as a moron who can't just let someone go. Yes, as we have said, I'm sure his "dead wife" will magically show up in finale. After dragged out for 2 years.

I agree, I remember talking with my friend's the next day, and we were just in complete shock but saying how well it was done. I know a history teacher who explained the episode in the way you said starri on how things like that put situations in perspective and how they did it willing. It was an ending, I don't think anyone was expecting. I know when Nana Visitar read the original script her reaction was: "WOW!"

I have to admit, Oliver has a very interesting way of getting into Harvard and I see some of the reasons why everything was painting him to be gay. I think if he would have just explain things to Anna-Kat, he could have avoided a lot of the problems. I am happy they have moved things with Taylor being more unaware of things than downright oblivious to common things. Making her more like Katie, but more to the point she doesn't pick up on things easily is how they should have her. I was cracking up at the line: "He's a better princess than me."

Funny and true.

I did like Ross better too, but I remember JJ Abrams saying when they were working on both the relaunch and into the darkness, he was tired of the admirals being useless and brainless. Of course look at what happened in Into the Darkness. Ross also knew that sadly, people like the Dominion, even races like the Romulans, Kligons and Cardassians are going to do what they want to do. Nechayev wanted everyone to play nice and her option was: "Just tell them, they'll listen." Yeah, like how the Maques right?

I hated how Rick Berman and Michael Pillar brought the useless (I slept my way to the top) Admiral McChariff, She was such a useless character in the three episodes in Next Generation and they hammered her to signs of ridiculous to where in the season 3 premiere even the DS9 crew's fantasy induced by the Dominion showed she was a moron. I know that Rick Berman later explained that the point of her character was to be a high ranking person who had lost touch with what was going on because being behind "a desk." Later on, they said they dropped her because there were only two choices: 1. Killer her off or 2. Kill her off in a blaze of glory. And they didn't want to do either do to the actress. So, they dropped her.
