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

Episode o' the Day
"Past Tense, Part II" (season three, episode twelve; 9 January 1995): Wikipedia-link.

Commentary: "Past Tense" affords us a rare opportunity: To watch episodes of Star Trek on the very days during which they are set. The Bell Riots broke out on 1 September 2024, lasting several days, though the precise timing of the bloody assault on the Sanctuary District by police, prompted by false rumors that the safe hostages had already been killed, is unknown beyond, "the first week of September."

Here are some thoughts on "Past Tense's" vision of the 2020s from the 1990s, from earlier in this year's "Section 31" re-watch: Wayback Machine, Part I & Wayback Machine, Part II.
