HELLO, EVERYONE. While our uninterrupted run of Deep Space Nine does not last too long before I watch Generations and start Voyager, I’m still very thrilled to get to watch this show back-to-back for a couple weeks or so. LET’S TALK SEASON THREE.
First things first: predictions for last season!
- I think we’ll see the aftermath of Vedek Winn’s assassination attempt on Vedek Bareil at some point. GOOD LORD, I WASN’T READY.
- Meaning we’ll see both characters! I STILL WAS NOT READY.
- The next Kai will be chosen this season. LOOK, I’M ACTUALLY GETTING THIS RIGHT.
- We’ll get another episode addressing Sisko’s role as the Emissary. I’m counting “The Collaborator.”
- Quark will get locked up once this season. HE HONESTLY DID.
- Dax will meet another Trill this season. HAVE I EVER BEEN SO GOOD
- Kira will butt heads about Bajoran policy in DS9 with Sisko over the course of a whole episode. It cannot be a single plot confined to a single scene; it has to be the whole episode. Okay, this is a tough one. Does “Cardassians” count? WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS.
- Odo will learn more about his species by the end of the season! Unfortunately, no 🙁
- We’ll get at least two episodes that take place on the other side of the wormhole. so many episodes SO MANY
- We’ll see inside one of the holosuites this season. I notice that DS9 doesn’t really deal with holosuites much, if at all. There’s so much story to tell!
- We’ll see how Keiko deals with opposition to her school in this season. I honestly expected to see more of this in season 2.
- We’ll see Julian deal with romantic feelings for someone other than Dax this season. Garak counts. GARAK COUNTS.
- By the end of the season, we’ll get a new plot that ISN’T about the Bajoran reconstruction. T H E  D O M I N I O NÂ
- I DON’T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO PREDICT. TRUE
- Oooh! Jake will make a new friend on DS9. Did he? I swear one was mentioned.
- There will be at least one two-parter this season. SO MANY.
God, season 2 was a lot of fun. And thus, let’s move onwards to season 3!
Predictions for Season 3 of Deep Space Nine
- We will see who else belongs to the Dominion.
- At one point, we’ll see or meet the “Founders.”
- The Dominion threat will take up a great deal of season 3.
- Odo will learn more about his origins. (I JUST WANT THIS.)
- Another Garak + Bashir episode!
- We’ll get three episodes with Kai Winn and three with Vedek Bareil.
- We’ll get an episode about someone from Dax’s past.
- Kira will break things off with Bareil.
- We’ll get an episode that takes place in the Mirror Universe!
- I will not be able to handle the adorableness of Sisko’s relationship with Jake.
- We’ll see another Trill.
- I still want another episode dealing solely with the ramifications of the Cardassian occupation of Bajor. I’M NOT DONE WITH THIS STORYLINE.
- Maybe an episode solely about Gul Dukat???
- And one about Jake, too?
- I’M NOT READY FOR SEASON 3.
