Markus W.

Not the soulless minions of orthodoxy! Looking forward to watching this tonight, Jen! 🖖

Ian

As always a brilliant thumbnail to go with what I already know is a 10/10 reaction 🔥🔥

Ian

Only a couple of days left of august so anyone with any picks left hurry over to Jen's request site www.jenmurrayxo.com and get them in before the new month begins

Arthur 'Two Sheds' Jackson

Every time I see Jeffrey Combs it reminds me of Re-Animator "I gave him LIFE" 😂😂

Bammer

Here we go. Buckle up.

Fanchman

What's great about the last few seasons of the series is that I have forgotten a lot of the episodes. Maybe it's because I'm getting senile in my old age :-) but it's like I'm watching them again for the first time along with Jen. Engage!!

Banes

Hi Jen - I don't think you watch on Paramount Plus, but I noticed that they have S6 episode 2 switched with episode 3. Hopefully you'll see this...or that you don't watch there x)

Banes

Man, I love these two. The end of In the Cards gets me right in the gooey feels. The music swelling in the soundtrack is what does it I think! And who would have expected us to lose the Station in the finale?? Crazy innit?!?

Dean

WORF BETTER NOT HAVE TOLD YOU ANY SPOILERS IN YOUR DREAM! I'd be SO mad at him!

Gall the Absurd

In answer to your question Jen, "Yes, you absolutely should watch Andor."

Obyredyll

and Finally the Dominion War has started!! The greatest conflict of the Star Trek History is just begun...

Summer

Too much to say, love how you loved In the Cards, no one spoil Jen at all

TC Green

On my they are in order 🤷‍♂️

Dean

My god yes! Please watch Andor! :) You don't even need to dive into too much lore beyond the original 3 movies and Rogue One. It's only 24 episodes and is the DS9 of Star Wars

TC Green

Begun, the Dominion War has.

SirJohnCard

Since they left the station, isn't it "Star Trek: Terok Nor" going forward? 🤔

Michael B.

I'm envious! I have been a Star Trek fan all my life and I've never had a Star Trek dream - and with Worf no less. Wow!

Summer

Information cannot be given until you keep watching

Summer

You are going to have great spy/warrior instincts by the end. There were three kisses in this episode

Hok'Tar

Hey Jen. Don't be angry with Starfleet. Sisko said in his speech that a Starfleet and Klingon Taskforce crossed the Cardassian border and destroyed a shipyard while the attack on DS9 was taking place and Weyoun confirmed it at the end when he said that the Dominion lost the shipyard and over 50 ships

Julian San

I’ve seen the finale a bunch of times, but I gotta say, that final shot of the Federation/Klingon fleet…CHILLS!!!

Summer

Star Trek dreams are rare and neat

Summer

Still, Jen makes a good pount at the end there, if Starfleet could have sent the Defiant back with the Enterprise they probably could have taken that group, nonetheless this was the right move

Summer

Last note the Andor they referenced here was Andoria near Vulcan where the blue Andorians are

William Rosmer

narratively speaking using specifically the enterprise would be an interesting choice. it runs the risk of overshadowing ds9 crew with the tng crew. edit: damn auto correct.

Summer

In season 4 the icons doe Hippocratic oath and Visitor were switched but the right episode played

Summer

Enterprise was more analogy for big ship or two but I agree

Dean

...and she should also watch Andor the Star Wars series. It's great!

Chaos T

Jen, when you were talking to Worf in your dream did he say "I am not a merry man!"?

Summer

I have never seen it but if she watches it I might

ParallaxNick

Jen watching "The Wounded" in August, 2024: "It definitely set up a future conflict with the Cardassians". Me: "You. Have. No. Idea."

SirJohnCard

One of my favorites in all of DS9 is in "Call to Arms". When Rom discovers Jake has stayed behind, he is genuinely concerned for Jake in such a fatherly manner. It shows a great side of Rom.

Dean

I think of it like the DS9 of Star Wars as it has better writing, does much more character work, and explores more grey areas than the rest of the franchise

WinkNudgeNudge

You absolutely should.. In fact go watch it now, and I almost guarantee you'll be looking forward to Jen watch it, too!

WinkNudgeNudge

Agreed, and it would have been SO MUCH harder to destroy the ship yards AFTER the mines went online... So they managed to cut off ship supply on the front and the rear supply lines at the same time... Which is huge.

Summer

Your username makes me want to say, say no more

Peter41

Jen, what the other Federation starships were doing was confirmed (sort of) when Sisko gave his good bye speach on DS9. He said that while the attack on DS9 was happening a Federation and Klingon joint task force crossed the Cardassian border and took out one of their ship yards. It's probably considered more important than DS9 because it likely puts the Dominion on the back foot for a moment allowing Starfleet to mobilise more ships.

Peter41

I just looked through the comments and couldn't see any comments like this. Then suddenly your one jumps out at me after I make my own comment 😀. Suppose best said twice than not at all.

BMAG33

In regards to your question of "where was Starfleet", the line at the end that they were off blowing up the Dominion ship yards was meant to imply the answer. Starfleet is playing to win, and consider themselves fully at war. A strategic withdrawal from DS9 after the wormhole was cut off was a small price to pay for destroying a major means of production for the Dominion in the Alpha Quadrant. Without the wormhole, DS9 is no longer the strategic asset it was. This is why Sisko was so annoyed. He understands and agrees, but he is still giving up his home.

tasty_coffee85

I got chills watching this reaction, even though I’ve already watched DS9 twenty times. It has begun. good reaction btw.

Joe Blankenship

Hey, when are we gonna do Project Hail Mary?

Joel

In the Cards -- The breath before the plunge Call to Arms -- The War Begins

Desmond

You're totally right about the difference with DS9 finales vs TNG. DS9 are not strictly cliffhangers but more about setup for the next season. And this one was a big one. I envy you, getting to experience it for the first time. 😉

Jessica H.

Yay! My membership expires today and I can't afford to renew so I'm glad it was still active for this reaction! 🖖

rocketdave

Bashir first talked about Kukalaka in the episode "The Quickening." I was also going to point out that Sisko already explained what the important mission was that prevented Starfleet from coming to the aid of DS9, but I see a few people already did that.

Summer

Its only the basics for a month

Slate

"The board is set. The pieces are moving. We come to it at last. The great battle of our time."

Matt Poppell

This season finale is my personal favorite in all of Star Trek. So much story building since the end of Season 2 and the writers were patient enough to let the tension build naturally and realistically. This episode is the payoff of that. The Dominion War has begun...

Jessica H.

wow thank you so much! I'm totally broke had to pay my full disability check to get our electricity turned on after a month without power lol. Tytyty!! ❤️

Summer

Totally get it its not much but at least a few more episodes

Chaos T

Andor is excellent. It won an emmy for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series in a year with multiple amazing shows including The Pitt and Severance. Might be the best thing ever produced for the Star Wars franchise.

JR Bob Dobbs

The Federation couldn't send forces because they were sending their forces to destroy the Dominion ship yard on this side of the wormhole. They literally told you the reason at the end of the episode. This isn't a spoiler, you already got the answer in this episode.

John Sullivan

We need more info on this Worf dream for the Jen Wiki

Laura Thornley

I'm stirred every time I see the ending shot. Seeing two Galaxy class starships flying side by side alone is enough - but the dozens of other ships of all sorts alongside them is such a powerful image.

Laura Thornley

Yeah, its a little canon error (or maybe an in-universe slip of the tongue or confusion) - Andor is the name of the planet (a gas giant), Andoria is the name of the moon that the Andorians actually live on.

Desmond

Abandoning DS9 (and Bajor) was essentially a tactical retreat. Holding that position (at that time) was simply untenable. And as others have mentioned, the rest of Starfleet was busy taking offensive actions against the Dominion.

Curran Dobbs

Cellular Ennui would be a good name for a band.

Sykonee

One of my Nannies had that matador painting! Or one very similar to it. Nice to see it survives into the future and into the tending care of Morn. (also: Part Two of 'The Great River Trilogy') Between this Season Finale, and the one VOY pulled that same year (not to mention B5's as well)... yes, this was one HELL of a grueling Summer Of '97 to wait out through.

Tom Evans

These episodes have an important connection to the episode "The Rapture" in which Sisko was having visions. At the end of that episode Sisko stumbles into the ceremony for Bajor's admittance to the Federation and shouts "Locusts! They'll destroy Bajor unless it stands alone!" The locusts are the Dominion. If Bajor had joined the Federation they wouldn't be able to sign a non-aggression pact with the Dominion, and the Dominion (or really Cardassia) would re-conquer Bajor. Sisko saved Bajor by delaying their admittance into the Federation, thanks to his visions from the Prophets.

Patrick

Garak can really knock out a monologue or anecdote on a whim. Also, Jake is really dumb sometimes. Even Wesley wouldn't be as stupid as to stay behind over an inflated ego.

Summer

Maybe because Kai was saying it the Universal translator messed it up

Jen Murray

Thanks for the insight everyone on where Starfleet was. I guess I didn't really know what 'destroying the shipyard' meant or that it was apparently so important!

Jen Murray

I'd love to watch it, though I read the book so not sure if that changes if you want a reaction to it

Joe Blankenship

Any excuse to watch it again. It's really good. Plus, it does good numbers on the Youtube. And other book readers have said it's just as good as the book.

phillip giroux

In The Cards is kind of like starting The Lord of the Rings in the Shire and shows the good that is worth fighting for before the darkness falls.

Bobby Coolbreeze

Epic season finale and cliffhanger So the reason Sisko told to the Bajorans not to join the federation was to protect from the coming war. War has come! This was unprecedented in Star Trek for a series. This won’t be over quickly.

Summer

Most of the people pointing it out have seen the episode multiple timesthings can be missed the first time

Andrew Roach

No, but she should certainly watch Babylon 5! However the "person's" name who said that line did start with a G. And no, it's not Dumbledore...

SteelPookie

The answer is YES, watch Andor.

Ortizmo

Watching the Defiant and the Rotarran join the fleet still holds up for me as among the finest seconds of Trek. I remember watching it as it aired back when I was in my mid-20's and not since Best of Both Worlds had I been so keyed up about a Trek finale. Prepare yourself......the final seasons coming made this show the legend that you've heard about.

Roni

"Andor - no, that's Star Wars" If you want to know more about the Andorians in Star Trek, you will have to watch Enterprise after Voyager - which I really hope you do, it is a good show :0)

Marcus Hicks

I love "In The Cards". Its a wonderfully light and comedic outing that makes a nice break from all the really heavy episodes we had prior (especially Blaze of Glory and Empok Nor) & the really heavy episodes that are yet to come. I also love that you picked up on the Wizard of Oz reference 😉.

Brent Justice

We aren't just a fleet in space, I mean yes, that's what Starfleet is heh. Sisko would naturally go back to Federation space. He can be the captain on a starship, or live back on Earth, or any number of Federation worlds. Remeber, DS9/Bajor/The Wormhole is not in Federation space. The Wormhole is owned by Bajor. Starfleet was just protecting it for them, and helping to run the station. But naturally Sisko and crew would live back in Federation space, taking on new roles there as officers assigned to other duties onboard starships, or starbases, or planets in the Federation. Because Bajor has a non-agression pack, it means they can stay out of the Federation/Dominion War. The only logical thing was to let DS9 get taken back, and be protected in that way. They said in this episode that the fleet (Starfleet/Federation ships) were sent on a secret mission to destroy the shipyards of Cardassia/Dominion fleet. That's why they couldn't send ships to DS9, it was explained in the episode.

Clyde Frog

Might be the best season finale and cliffhanger in the whole franchise. Best of Both Worlds is iconic, and has a special place in my heart, but this has 5 seasons of story building up for this moment. So good.
