Mini Review #28: Star Trek DS9 "The Siege" and "Invasive Procedures" (Patreon)
Content
The end of the 3 episode arc brought about a fantastic climax episode in "The Siege"! I loved that the siege wasn't just the Bajorans sieging DS9, but also Sisko and co. sieging back DS9... a siege within a siege! I could really tell there was a budget in this episode and we got a glimpse of an EPIC ship battle over Bajor which was so much fun to witness, as well as some great set piece moments and lots of cool character interactions.
Invasive Procedures felt a lot more like season 1 in the respect that it was an episodic episode however, it still felt like it had a small budget increase from the last season due to the insane space shots that kept appearing periodically throughout the episode. I loved taking a closer look at the Trills again as a species and found the exchange of the symbiont from one host to another very fascinating. The change in personality and demeanour was a cool touch and having the antagonist be a trill with Dax inside of him (along with some fun Klingons!) was a very entertaining premise.
