Review of Emissary

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Emissary (1993)
Season 1, Episode 1
7/10
Captain Sisko's new assignment
11 October 2019
Looking at this inaugural episode of DS9 that provide a hint as to what happens to Avery Brooks in the conclusion. But for now Lt.Commander Ben Sisko and his son Jake are going to a space station that was recently occupied then trashed by the Cardassians as Bajor overthrew their occupation.

What is discovered by Brooks is that there is a wormhole that the Cardassians missed during their stay. That wormhole is central to the overall plot of the series.

The rest of the regulars are introduced. Already on the job is Constable Odo a shapeshifter played by Rene Auberjonois and the Ferengi Quark who runs the local gambling and other sinful activities played by Armin Shimmerman.

Nana Vistor is Major Kira Nuryes of the Bajoran armed services who will be Sisko's number 2. Alexander Siddig is medical officer Dr. Julian Bashir who is anticipating adventure and he got his wish. Terry Farrell is Jadzia Dax who is a double being, a trill. And Colm Meaney transfers from the Enterprise and Chief O'Brien's duties will be keeping the station's systems running.

It was a good beginning for my favorite Sta r Trek franchise series.
