TREKCORE > DS9 > EPISODES > THE WAY OF THE WARRIOR > DS9 Chronicles (Part II)

These are 1-minute intros that were taped by several of the regular cast members. 40 episodes were chosen by the producers, and the intros were included in the reruns shown by some TV stations that run DS9 in a strip syndication package (i.e., five days a week). These intros, however, were only made for episodes in the 1st through 4th seasons.

Here are transcripts of the intros, for those of you who may not have a chance to see them. Each one is done with "Okudagram"-style graphics around the actor as he/she speaks, with a rotating image of the station, and the DS9 theme music playing in the background. The paragraphs in italics describe clips that were shown.

Bringing the Klingons to Deep Space Nine surprised everybody, even the writers.

"The Adversary", which ended Season 3, was a cliffhanger meant to be continued in a two-parter, but with Worf joining the crew, the emphasis had to be shifted, and the breakdown of the Klingon peace treaty opened the door to one of the most exciting conflicts ever imagined.

Sisko and Kira; Klingon ships; Sisko and Kira firing phasers; Klingons being shot

It was this episode that marked the first time in the history of Star Trek that the Klingons and the Federation were formally at war.

Klingon ships firing; a Klingon shoots a Bajoran deputy; Klingons beam in and charge with bat'leths

Although the Klingons have been called the best alien race ever created on Star Trek, you may not know that they were featured in only a handful of episodes from the original series. Yet they left an indelible mark that was aggressively explored on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Sisko; the station fighting back against Klingon ships

Loaded with some of the most fabulous special effects ever created for the series, this episode called "The Way of the Warrior, Part II" set the tone for the most exciting season yet.
