    Deep Space 9: Episode 17 – Sacrifice of Angels: Forging New Alliances with Bonds that Defy Time and Space
    Nov 9 2024
    Get ready for an exciting new season of Because That’s What Heroes Do. In this season, they take a deep dive into their favorite 15 episodes of Deep Space 9. Alex Murphy (Murphy), a Star Trek aficionado from Montreal, joins Tom and Megan in this exploration. He is a local historian, a cinema and TV enthusiast, and a lover of weird foreign films, all things horror, and obscure media. He has been a fan of Star Trek since he was a young punk, and his love for the show has endured throughout his life. In this episode, the team reviews the conclusion of Sacrifice of Angels, the two-part ending of the first phase of the Dominion War. Character development is an essential component of storytelling that enriches narratives by allowing audiences to witness the evolution and transformation of characters over time. The DS9 episode “Sacrifice of Angels” vividly illustrates this through pivotal moments for characters such as Rom and Gul Dukat, among others. Megan reflects on Gul Dukat’s complex character arc, particularly his descent into madness following the loss of his daughter, and contrasts the cultural philosophies of the Dominion and Cardassians, noting Dukat’s more human, narcissistic evil. Tom highlights the importance of character growth, especially Rom’s development, and appreciates the narrative risks taken, such as the use of magical elements that deepen the storyline. Meanwhile, Murphy emphasizes the evolving relationship between Rom and Quark, describing Rom’s transformation from a naïve younger brother to a forward-thinking character while also appreciating the expansive universe that facilitates dynamic character interactions and growth.
