Season Six is over! Does it die with a bang, or a whimper? The Dominion War reaches a crucial moment. This is not how we want to say goodbye to our space friends.

TV and pat solutions to logical problems that fail to satisfy,
What is the very least effort that Jadzia deserved for a sendoff?
Is it a shame that the prophets’ “death” is the more consequential?
