DS9: In the Hands of the Prophets

Star Trek and Deep Space Nine are registered trademarks and copyright of Paramount Pictures.

This is the finale to the first season of DS9. Bajoran religious fanatics, led by Vedek Winn, have bombed the school on the space station because of its refusal to teach the students about the Prophets, the Bajoran gods. This event causes Vedek Bareil, front-runner in the race to become the next Kai, to come to the station to try and resolve the situation. Meanwhile, Chief O'Brien is trying to find out who has been messing around with the station's computer, and just what they are up to.

The song is "Something Dark is Coming" by Bear McCreary. It was originally used in the Battlestar Galactica episode "Lay Down Your Burdens Pt 1".

Awesome! Great work, and it fits the episode. I wish DS9 had a score like that in general.

[TheGodBen]

Thanks. I feel the same way about DS9, it deserved a much better score, that's why I'm making these videos. Hopefully I should manage 5 or 6 of them.

@Aislinn09 You mean the way they both have seasons of solid intriguing drama and conflict, and then throw it away and have magic and religion be the key to everything?

Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of BSG as a political and military scifi drama, but the religious and luddite crap they were spewing got annoying at the end.

I'm also a fan of DS9, and the spirituality dominating the show during the seventh season felt a bit forced in when they were balancing enough plotlines with with the war.

Oh, & that's why I finally gave up & just bought the whole bloody thing on DVD ;-).

@logiclovr Every so often someone posts the full episodes here, but as it violates "Fair Use", they end up getting deleted every time CBS goes on a rampage ;-).

Anybody know who has the full episode and not just a friggin summary?!

[Aphradonis]

I didn't know DS9 was shot in widescreen.

This is truly excellent work. I honestly liked the way you edited and attached the music to the prose. This wasn't one of my favorite episodes, but the way the music framed each scene changed my mind. You are very talented and one wonders if what you do for a living:) I hope you have done more of these!

Funny how Kai Winn is guilty of more crimes against Bajorians than Dukat.

[Aislinn09]

The fact is, DS9 & BSG are so much alike in tone (dark) & other things b/c they both had the same exec. producer writing some of its episodes: Ronald D. Moore, credited as an exec. producer on some of the best DS9 episodes & credited as a co-creator & exec. producer of the re-imagined BSG.

As a fan of both, I love what you've been doing with music from BSG & clips of DS9. I used to use DS9 episodes as lessons to my daughter: what you should & shouldn't do. Those were the best of times. Thanx.

Looking forward to them!
