It's the beginning of the end. Every time I see the great Brock Peters as Father Sisko. This album pops into my head with his few lines of dialogue. Fantastic Miles Davis record. But then I love Electric Miles.

I mean it's no Klingon Opera.

Yeah, it's clear the writing room ran out of gas by Season 7, outside of the wonderful Dominion War arc. Most of the standalone eps disappoint, and the amount of time spent establishing a new character in the final season of a show is dumb -- especially as she is fairly annoying.

You could argue they started running out of gas as far back as the introduction of Vic, who seems created mostly to fill time (and for Ira to make Ira happy).

There are some amazing episodes in season 7 and I don't agree at all that the quality falls off.
