Listen "130: Perfect Storm of Wonderfulness"
Episode Synopsis
The Way of the Warrior, Part 1. Following the revelation that the Founders had infiltrated the Alpha Quadrant, tensions are high and Starfleet is preparing for the worst. Those tensions rise when the Klingons arrive at Deep Space 9 on a mission—allegedly—to support their Federation allies. As trouble begins to brew, Sisko brings Worf to the station to help smooth things over and find out what is really going on. Once the Klingons’ plans to invade Cardassia are revealed, the relationship between the Federation and the Empire quickly deteriorates and the 80-year-old peace treaty is dissolved. In this episode of The Orb, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing discuss Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s fourth season premiere and what amount to a soft reboot of sorts—one that would propel DS9 to become what many consider the most complex and interesting installment in the franchise. We talk about the many changes that came with “The Way of the Warrior," including the addition of Worf, the subtraction of Sisko's hair, airlocking the Khitomer Accords, and the introduction of the character who would redefine Klingons: General Martok.
