With the Homecoming, you could clearly see in Sisko's first scene that Brooks was under orders to liven up his performance and be a little more playful. That didn't necessarily stick for a lot of season 2, but laid the groundwork for him to become more comfortable in the role. I always loved this story arc.

He's also on record as only doing the appearances for his children. Frank Langella has never been in the credits for the episodes he was in.

It really strains credibility that Kira could fly a runabout into the Cardassian solar system itself and pull off that rescue. The Cardassian wars were not long in the past.

I remember seeing his name in the credits of the show... so, not sure what that means. How was it uncredited? I remember seeing his name in the credits of the show… so, not sure what that means.

I remember how audacious it seemed at the time. A three-part episode? In Star Trek? Of course later on that was blown completely away by some of the 6 or 7 part epics. The funny thing is, this episode is one of the few that I missed in first-run. Like Michelle, I was pretty hooked on the show at the time. Unfortunately our local Fox station CHANGED THE NIGHT and I ended up missing the premiere that season. (It happened more than once, sigh, the perils of first-run syndication.) I saw it for the first time on DVD years later. Fortunately, parts 2 and 3 made total sense without it. DS9 was and is my favorite TV show. I don't always agree with Michelle's reviews but I get a kick out of hearing her DS9 fangirl-ishness, mainly because I know exactly how she feels. :) This was a great three-parter.
