Section 31: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993-2024)

Episode o' the Day
"In the Hands of the Prophets" (season one, episode twenty; 21 June 1993): Wikipedia-link.

Commentary: Much of the billiance of Deep Space Nine can be glimpsed in the tension between Vedek Winn, a leader of the Bajoran religion, being a major, recurring villain throughout the series & the nuanced, respectful treatment of Major Kira's faith in the Bajoran religion.

"In the Hands of the Prophets" also stands head & shoulders above its peers, the first-season finales of the contemporaneous
Star Trek series: "The Neutral Zone" (T.N.G.); both "Learning Curve" (VGR), the aired finale, & "The 37's" (VGR), the intended finale; & "Shockwave, Part I" (ENT).
