In their second year together, the crew of [[Deep Space 9]] face problems that will affect the galaxy forever. A [[Bajoran]] extremist group attempts to force the [[Federation]] out of the [[Bajoran system]]. The [[Cardassian]]s are secretly supplying them with weapons, hoping to return to reclaim the [[planet]] and hold the [[Bajoran wormhole]] for the [[Cardassian Union]]. However, the greatest enemy of all is lurking beyond it.

* The three mentions of the [[Dominion]] prior to the episode {{e|The Jem'Hadar}} were specifically designed to create a sense of layering and to convey the idea that the Dominion were involved in many different activities: in {{e|Rules of Acquisition}} it is revealed that they are involved in trade and commerce; in {{e|Sanctuary}}, it is revealed that they have a military division; and in {{e|Shadowplay}} it is revealed that they are imperialists who think nothing of invading and conquering an entire planet.

* The late [[Michael Piller]] was extremely proud of this season; "''When we really started doing stories about our [[Deep Space 9|space station]], and really made it unique to itself, that's when the series, I think, ''really'' became special. I think, if you look at the second season of ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Deep Space Nine]]'', and I think that I would, personally, put that on a par with any single season in the history of'' [[Star Trek]]." (''New Frontiers: The Story of Deep Space Nine'', [[DS9 Season 2 DVD]], Special Features)

* [[Robert Hewitt Wolfe]] also agrees that the show really found its footing during the second season; "''By the second season we knew how to do the right things, I think with more consistency, and we started to nail them more often. And we also started to develop the Dominion arc and to really understand more about the [[Prophet]]s and [[Bajor]] and understand the relationship with the characters. So it just became a stronger show''." (''New Frontiers: The Story of Deep Space Nine'', [[DS9 Season 2 DVD]], Special Features)

* The first three installments of this season form a linked story arc. "''The first three-parter was a commitment to say, 'Hey, look at us. Look at what we can do,{{'}}''" recalled Michael Piller. "''It was, in a sense, supposed to do for us what '{{dis|The Best of Both Worlds|episode|Best of Both Worlds}}' had done for ''Next Generation." (''[[Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages]]'', p. 338) Recollected [[Ira Steven Behr]], "''Michael Piller called me up and said, 'We're going to open season two with a three-part episode.' Something that had never been done in the franchise history. That's the moment where I started to think, 'Okay, ''Deep Space Nine'' gives us opportunities that the other shows do not have or did not have, and that's exciting.{{'}}''" (''[[What We Left Behind]]'') Piller continued, "''I think that we succeeded. Those three shows really did show the breadth of ambition of storytelling that we were able to do and the special effects were terrific, the guest stars were great, and the credibility was there.''" (''[[Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages]]'', p. 338) [[Colm Meaney]] observed that this triumvirate of episodes continued an exploration of the "very interesting" subject of religious fundamentalism which had begun in the first season finale {{e|In the Hands of the Prophets}}. ("Colm Meaney – Miles O'Brien", {{STDS9|5|10}})

Summary

In their second year together, the crew of Deep Space 9 face problems that will affect the galaxy forever. A Bajoran extremist group attempts to force the Federation out of the Bajoran system. The Cardassians are secretly supplying them with weapons, hoping to return to reclaim the planet and hold the Bajoran wormhole for the Cardassian Union. However, the greatest enemy of all is lurking beyond it.

Background information

  • This season was broadcast concurrent with Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 7.
  • Characters which 'cross over' from other incarnations of Star Trek include, from TOS: Kor, Kang and Koloth ("Blood Oath"), and from TNG: Admiral Alynna Nechayev ("The Maquis, Part II").
  • All references (of which there were three) to the Dominion prior to the episode "The Jem'Hadar" were specifically designed to create a sense of layering and to convey the idea that the Dominion were involved in many different activities: in "Rules of Acquisition", it is revealed that they are involved in trade and commerce; in "Sanctuary", it is revealed that they have a military division; and in "Shadowplay", it is revealed that they are imperialists who think nothing of invading and conquering an entire planet.
  • Michael Piller was extremely proud of this season; "When we really started doing stories about our space station, and really made it unique to itself, that's when the series, I think, really became special. I think, if you look at the second season of Deep Space Nine, and I think that I would, personally, put that on a par with any single season in the history of Star Trek." (New Frontiers: The Story of Deep Space Nine, DS9 Season 2 DVD, Special Features)
  • Robert Hewitt Wolfe also agreed that the show really found its footing during the second season; "By the second season we knew how to do the right things, I think with more consistency, and we started to nail them more often. And we also started to develop the Dominion arc and to really understand more about the Prophets and Bajor and understand the relationship with the characters. So it just became a stronger show." (New Frontiers: The Story of Deep Space Nine, DS9 Season 2 DVD, Special Features)
  • This is the only season of Deep Space Nine in which the Prophets do not appear on screen.
  • The first three installments of this season form a linked story arc. "The first three-parter was a commitment to say, 'Hey, look at us. Look at what we can do,'" recalled Michael Piller. "It was, in a sense, supposed to do for us what 'Best of Both Worlds' had done for Next Generation." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages, p. 338) Recollected Ira Steven Behr, "Michael Piller called me up and said, 'We're going to open season two with a three-part episode.' Something that had never been done in the franchise history. That's the moment where I started to think, 'Okay, Deep Space Nine gives us opportunities that the other shows do not have or did not have, and that's exciting.'" (What We Left Behind) Piller continued, "I think that we succeeded. Those three shows really did show the breadth of ambition of storytelling that we were able to do and the special effects were terrific, the guest stars were great, and the credibility was there." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages, p. 338) Colm Meaney observed that this triumvirate of episodes continued an exploration of the "very interesting" subject of religious fundamentalism which had begun in the first season finale "In the Hands of the Prophets". ("Colm Meaney – Miles O'Brien", The Official Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Magazine issue 5, p. 10)
