I also like that Chuck pointed out the 'group think' mentality of the Great Link; you see that a lot whenever you read a news article these days, no matter what the subject is.
-
With the Prophets we're never quite sure what they are or what their connection is to Bajor. Here's two ideas- 1) The Prophets (and the Pah-wraiths) once lived on Bajor and are the 'first evolution' of sentient life on that world and have evolved into non-corporeal beings, 2) The Prophets are descended from the Bajorans as we know them today, and since they live outside of linear time, can interact with their ancestors as they do.
-
The problem with the Prophets was that they were never really developed. When Sisko first discovered the wormhole, the Prophets didn't even know about the existence of linear time. They had no idea that the Bajorans worshiped them. They went from wanting to explore linear existence to actively interfering with the universe with no transition in between.

Another excellent review. I hope you get my comments because I really enjoy the reviews and I want you to know it!

@shuboy05 Thats why I put "gods" in quotation marks.
The prophets never really demonstrated them selfs to be god like. Yes they have demonstrated themselves to be powerful inside the wormhole but never really showed themselves to be that powerful outside of it. Going by power displayed Trelane, The Organians, and Q are far more powerful than the prophets.
Th Bajorans are understandable. Their civilization grew up with the prophets and religions die hard.
-
@Bogdin7 Every time we see Janeway she is evil Janeway.
-
It must be noted that Star Trek has always had "god-like" beings exist within the universe. Trelane, The Organians, and even Q might be considered "gods" in a way. However Trek had always treated them as powerful aliens. The Prophets, however, are treated both as aliens (by the Starfleet crew) and gods by the Bajorans and, now, Sisko.
-
Since there are some shared writers I find it interesting that DS9's prophets are so much more effectively used, defined and set up so that when they did finally act it fit with the story as opposed to how New Battlestar's "God" wasn't set up, never made sense, never had his relationship to human nor cylon defined whatsoever and did turn into a Deus Ex Machina, one of many reasons New Battlestar was such a complete mess.
I just think that's interesting is all.

I don't think you were meant to be invested in her specifically, her importance was as an accessory to Dukat and specifically his lone anchor. People often complain about his new arc that comes after this point but personally I can buy it, because Dukat died when she died. The guy we see in the future is subsequently and believably an entirely new and even more fucked up creature.

Oh hey, you included the clip. CHECK OUT THE BATTLE SCENE ON MY CHANNEL /shameless plug
Also, it's pronounced like "Can I"

@BloodiestMargie I watched a documentary on the battle to verify pronunciation, and all the experts but one said "Canny," so that's what I went with.

Just an update: I'm not able to upload replacement videos at this time, there seems to be a problem with that. I will be checking in regularly today to flip them back to public if they go private again, and once the upload problem is sorted I will re-upload both videos to hopefully ensure this doesn't happen.
I have also spoken with the webhosting company, and they are still working on the problem that causes my website to be unavailable. Hopefully it won't cause further problems.

It's automatically switching it back, so I'm manually switching it back to public. I'm attempting a re-upload for a more permanent solution.
