One of the best scenes in Star Trek ever. Great stuff.
"I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all... I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again, I would. Garak was right about one thing - a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant."

  • 'In the Pale Moonlight' is one of my favorite DS9 episodes. I loved the huge battle scenes between Federation and Dominion fleets, but this one is above the rest.

    DS9 did what no Trek did before it. True character development. Sisko's log at the end really made the episode and the tone dark tone the series took.

    In Voyager Janeway was too concerned about the Prime Directive to bring her crew home. Here you realize if Sisko were in that position he would do whatever it took to get back home.

  • Does anyone else think that Sisko's TRYING to convince himself to live with it, when he really can't?

  • @333oceanbreeze Babylon 5 presented a similar scenario, with a far deadlier and malevolent adversary pushing Capt. Sheridan into making an impossible decision: Speak up and watch in horror as billions die, or say nothing and again watch in horror as millions die. There's no way you can make such a decision and not lose a part of your soul. 

  • The synopsis for this episode could essentially be "Sisko dictates a personal log, then deletes it" and it sounds like crap. But when you watch it... One of the best episodes ever!

  • I don't think I can live with it. :^]

  • This episode more than any other just goes to show that Dukat was right, they are more alike than Sisko would like to admit. I guess those high-minded federation principles go out the airlock when you want something badly enough. But they say the only difference between right and wrong is that the right guys knows the difference...

  • ah fuck this is amazing

  • Not everyone likes this episode, not everyone can stomach what it puts forward, and they don't want to live in a world where what's necessary comes before what's right. I know that.

    But I can live with it. And so will they. Because what's important is that we'll still live.

  • DS9 kicks ass, awesome episode

  • @SolomonKull Lifted right from the pages of the Prince.

  • Garak was right!

  • @AdisloKazdan

    Let them start a war. They can't stand up against both the Federation and the Klingons.
