I recently re watched this episode.

I'm curious what you think of your feelings on the subject.

It's a powerful episode.

I believe the resistance fighters were in the right, even if their methods were questionable. But I can understand the Cardassians point of view.

One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist... Not only is this true, it is also a common theme of DS9.

Personally, I love the fact that Kira is unrepentant, whatever else she is...

Quote:
Major Kira: None of you belonged on Bajor. It wasn't your world. For fifty years you raped our planet, and you killed our people. You lived on our land, and you took the food out of our mouths, and I don't care whether you held a phaser in your hand or you ironed shirts for a living; you were all guilty, and you were all legitimate targets!


Also, I'm glad this show was done in the 90s. I don't think that episode would have seen air, post 9/11. :roll:
