Kratak sadržaj: (preuzeto sa ST centra)
Odo i Kira slijeću na usamljen planet u maglici Omarion gdje otkrivaju kako se radi o Odovu rodnom planetu. Žena mjenjolik ohrabruje Oda da upozna tko je on i da mu pokaže vezu u kojoj oni dijele misli i osjećanja, a ta se veza zove Velika Veza.

...

* The bulk of the episode continually splits between reality (Kira and Odo on the Founders' homeworld) and the psychological projections created in the experiment being conducted on Sisko and the others. This is masked by the normal formula of having "A" and "B" stories; only in the last minutes of the episode (although it is fairly obvious by then) is the psychological experiment revealed.
* The abrupt realization that the Bajoran wormhole has not been destroyed and that none of the events Sisko and the others experienced truly happened is an example of a deus ex machina-style ending. However, rather than this being an avenue by which to create a quick resolution, the writers have claimed that the very point of the episode is to be found in this 'it was all a dream' ending; as Ira Steven Behr explains of the writers' attitude to two-parters in general, "We like to use the first part to set something up and then totally subvert the audience's expectations in part two." As such, the idea for the 'false reality' ending was two-fold. On the one hand, the writers wished to convey just how powerful the Dominion was - they were technologically so far advanced that they were literally playing with the Federation. On the other, in accordance with Behr's statement above, it was to show viewers that the real story of the episode was not the struggle for the Wormhole, but was in fact Odo's personal journey. Part I had focused on the larger plot, the bigger picture, and part II seemed to be doing the same, with Odo's story in a subservient position, but the conclusion exposes this interpretation as inaccurate, that it is Odo's story wherein the real meaning is to be found. Behr argues, "It was a perverse need to have some fun with the audience", and everything beyond Odo's story was "all just fireworks and mirrors." He says that he was trying to convey to the audience that real drama and conflict happens on a smaller personal level by tricking them into following the 'wrong' plot. However, he acknowledges that it doesn't really work and he understands why so many fans felt the conclusion to the episode was a great disappointment; "We wanted to make a point that this was a drama about people and conflict on a much smaller level. But no one seemed to get it, so maybe it wasn't such a great idea." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion) Interestingly, Behr would do something similar in the fourth season two-parter "Homefront"/"Paradise Lost", where what seems logical, rational and right in part I is made to seem paranoid and draconian in part II.
* The Female Changeling decides in this episode that war is the only option for the Alpha Quadrant, and from this point forward a Federation-Dominion Cold War existed until the episodes "In Purgatory's Shadow" and "By Inferno's Light".
* The monolith that is seen several times in the background of the garden on the Founders' planet is almost identical to the monolith which appeared in the episode "The Alternate" as a 'relic of Odo's people'.
* After this episode, we would not see the Vorta again until the season 4 episode "To the Death".
* Borath, the Vorta researcher who is also supposedly a Founder in the psychological projection Sisko and the others experience, was originally supposed to be Eris, the first Vorta encountered by the Federation in "The Jem'Hadar". The character was changed because actress Molly Hagan was unavailable.
* When Odo says he has been referred to as a Changeling "from time to time", he could be referring to the first season episode "Vortex", in which Croden calls him a changeling, and the second season episode "Shadowplay", in which Taya does so.
* The line "No Changeling ever harmed another" would return in both the season 3 finale "The Adversary" and the season 4 finale "Broken Link". This is dispite the fact that Odo is frequently threatened by both the Founders themselves, as well as their agents.
* The Female Changeling fulfills her promise to visit Odo in the episode "Heart of Stone", albeit by pretending to be Kira.

Gledajuci ovu epizodu dobijam dojam daje cijeli rat u alpha kvadrantu nastao zato sto su ulaskom u gamu isvojom istrazivackom politikom fedsi narusili monopol dominija na informacije i priprijetili founderima na nacin da im mozda oduzmu izolaciju od solida
Cijela predstava s jem hadarima i samoubojstvom je bila znak da se kaze , nemozete vise krsit nasu privatnost
A crvotocinu nisu htjeli srusit jer im je ona olaksavala povratak njihovih clanova razasutih po alphi , isto tako zanimljivo je da paranoja osnivaca se zasniva na teoriji , bolje bit napadac nego zrtva i samim time opravdavaju svoje akcije prema solidsima kao nuznost
Zanimljiva je i ta velika veza , jedno tijelo masu misli a kad misao odluci iznjedrit svoj jedinstveni oblik preuzima tu spojenu masu i izlazi iz mora osnivaca , tj velike veze
To tehnicki znaci da je njihov fizicki kolektiv jedno dok su spojeni a u bilo kojem trenutku , na bilo kojem mjestu misaona se cijelina moze manifestirat u svom odvojenom obliku
To je kao da se kap vode koja je inteligentna utopi u oceanu kod antarktike ali posto misao putuje brze od objekta se i odmah nakon toga formira kao odvjena kap (izađe iz mora) negdje kod velike britanije , to bi isto mozda i znacilo da se nove misli , tj bica formiraju tako da se misaono postojanje vise osnivaca spoji u novu cijelinu koja formira potpuno novu svijest , doduse nije mi jasno kako bi sve to fizicki funkcioniralo ali moraju se nekako i founderi razmnozavat

ps odo se pokazao kao dosta principjelna osoba

Ta quarkova mala parodija je bila zakon

Nije li ovo 3x02, a ne 3x01?

9

Dao bih 10, ali kraj "sve ste to sanjali" mi bas i nije sjeo najbolje.
No osim toga, epizoda je odlicna...

Dominij je pokazao koliko je jak tako se igrajuci sa likovima...
Ono sto me zanima je jesu li, kao sto su testirali posadu, isto tako istestirali i Defiant, da vide koliku im prijetnju predstavlja vrhunac Federacijske tehnologije... ne znam da li se to kasnije spominjalo u seriji...

Pojavili su se i Edington i nasa najdraza admiralica Nechayev

Odo se je opet osjetio ugrozenim kad mora djeliti mjesto vodje osiguranja s nekim
Dobro da se je na vrijeme prestao duriti, jer ekspedicija u gama kvadrant bas i ne bi dobro prosla da on nije bio prisutan...

Ono ljubljenje nagusovog stapa mi bilo bezveze... sprdacina...

Kao sto pise u background infou, i federacijski brod s cloacking deviceom je takodjer donekle bio no-no u Trek universeu....a i sam "warship" je koncept do tada nepoznat u Federaciji,... kao sto je Kira naglasila "I thought Starfleet didn't believe in warships"
DS9 zaista vodi Trek u novim smjerovima

I nije to toliko cudno, s obzirom sto su dopustili Romulancu da bude na vaznoj poziciji u najnovijem federacijskom brodu (zgodno za sakupiti raznorazne informacije) a takodjer, zauzvrat su dobili sve informacije koje su fedsi otkrili o Dominionu...
Quark bi im cestitao da dobrom deralu jer su sve to dobili u zamjenu za jedan posudjen cloacking device... pogotovo ako uzmemo u obzir i da bi federacija imala puno napredniji phase-cloak uredjaj da nisu s Romulancima potpisali da nece razvijati tu tehnologiju...

A sto se tice bahatosti - da prestanu biti bahati, arogantni, to vise ne bi bili Romulanci

@Captain, zanimljiva razmisljanja o osnivacima
Jesu li uopce u kasnijim epizodama objasnili kako tocno funkcionira velika veza i kako se razmnozavaju?!

Meni je to vise cinilo kao predstava da vide koliko im je federacija zaista prijetnja, i sta bi bilo s crvotocinom da se odluce na diplomatski pristup.... Suntsuovski "upoznaj svog neprijatelja"...
A ako je crvotocinu tako lako unistiti - vec bi onda po meni bila unistena vise puta
Bila je cijela jedna epizoda s frkom oko unistavanja (onaj bajoranski terorist) ... tesko da se ne bi nasao neki ljubomorni Kardasijanac koji bi unistio wormhole samo da je se Bajor ne docepa...
A i dojma sam da im je federacijska prijetnja osnivacima manje bitna od toga sto im se prvo "dijete" vratilo kuci... cak su dopustili Sisku i ostatku ekipe da se vrati kuci, samo da ostanu u kakvim-takvim odnosima s Odom...

Na kraju mu je osnivacica rekla istinu - da ce oni njemu vise nedostajati nego on njima...
Tnx, valjda sam za**bo dok sam otvarao anketu, no koliko vidim, netko je to promptno popravio

Šteta što su Osnivači negativci. Predobra su vrsta.

Da, ali bar nisu svi mjenjolici negativci, samo clanovi Velike veze

A svakako da su osnivaci, kao i druge egzoticne rase (Trilovi, Betazoidi,...) poprilicno zanimljivi...

Dobro, onda osam zato što je Odo upoznao svoju vrstu. Vorte ne volim pa zato manja ocjena.

Bas sam i ja to primjetio - da nisam dao devetku, u tom trenutku bi imala 3 desetke i ispala bi naj epizoda Treka do sada

Hajde ljudi glasati!

Jest da je glavno komentirati epizode i raspravljati o njima, ali i anketa nije za odbaciti
