Story: Past Prologue
Written By: Katharyn Powers
Series: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Year: 1993

This is a strong episode. It introduces some more elements concerning the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor, and Kira’s involvement in the resistance. A Bajoran seeking asylum from the Cardassians comes aboard Deep Space Nine. His prior relationship in the resistance and Kira causes conflicts for her.
The episode features the TNG recurring villains, the Duras sisters, as well as introducing us to a favorite of mine…Garak. Garak is the lone Cardassian still aboard DS9, and whether or not he is a spy and his reasons for staying are always a topic of fun banter between he and Bashir.

It is a solid episode, introduces one of my favorite characters, and has some decent plot devices driving the story.
