As a DS9 fan, I am so glad that this arc actually feels like a DS9 season.
It does have that ds9 vibe alright.
RIGHT!!!
Likely the closest we'll get to Season 8, especially with loss of Aron and Rene
@William George Lul wut?
@William George Now that you mention it, the Borg Unimatrices in STO kinda look like mini V'gers.
I still love the look on the Jem Hedars face when Kira slaps odo. Seeing his god getting slapped lol
Agreed. But I was a little surprised they didn't vaporize her for that. I guess the fact that Odo had previously treated her as an equal bought her some slack.
@@daveh7720 Well Odo might have expected something like this to happen, so its possible he ordered them to not do anything to her.
@@Ower8x You're right. For a Founder, he's a righteous dude.
Forget the Jem'hadar, Garak's face alone was more than worth the click 0:45 😂😂
and garak's smile :)
Garak is to me one of the best additions of this chapter of the story. Even if Odo's part cannot be ignored either. Heck, Quark's stuff is excellent too.
I absolutely love this arc, but it also makes me very sad, as this is the last of Rene Auberjonois as Odo, and the last of Aron Eisenberg as Nog (even if he's not a main character in this arc) and it's just wonderful, but realizing that is just sad.
Looking into it, Rene Auberjonois seemed to love the character, as he did voice acting for Odo whenever there was a game, and he also voiced Mr. House in Fallout: New Vegas. He kept working on projects he loved up until he died of cancer.
I hope they were able to give the characters fitting ends, as I don't think someone as iconic as Odo can be recast.
Several of the other main cast are getting up there in years (I mean hell, Ezri Dax's actress (Nicole de Boer) is 50, Jadzia Dax (Terry Farrell) 57, and they're the young ones. (Yes, Dr. Bashir (Alexander Siddig) is 55 and Kira (Nana Visitor) is 63, but still, many are approaching their mid to late 70s.) Andrew Robinson, who played Garak is nearly 80.
You SEEN Nana Visitor though? Even at 63, she's still fitter and frankly hotter than women a third her age. Her and Jadzia's actress are close friends and keep fit together, and it's made them both age like fine wine.
Im really beginning to fall in love with Garak’s character...
That jem hadar on odos bridge is the one they found on ds9 as a baby in the wreckage quark purchased
Thats surprising he lived that long
Now that's a cliffhanger!
Good to see someone else appreciates Hale's 'skill set'
Tactics, disaster recovery, and, er, "diplomacy".
Remember that mysterious Klingon witch standing by Martok. We'll be seeing her again.
Another hot Klingon lady to add to the list.
Some remarks on Odo's actions:
- Odo knew of the real strenght of the Dominion. However he was truthfull that he was the only thing standing between most of hte Dominion fringe and Hurq destruction as well - given what the main dominions plan for the Hur'q was.
- He marked Bajor for two reasons:
1. It is close to the Wormhole. He could stage it that he just _happened_ to have arrived at that moment.
2. Hiding a Hurq lure on DS9 is next to impossible. Hiding it on a planet? Pretty easy overall!
What's interesting is that the Hurq can't be completely mindless... they did steal the sword of the hero who defeated them after all.
I kind of wonder if it was less steal, and more something like the sword stuck in the carapace and that individual one wandered off elsewhere in the swarm
Hmmm, A "Derelict Station," being guarded, powered down. Away team turns on said power, accesses different terminals, then detects a power surge.... 🤔 i wonder what that could mean? " *cue Alien Isolation soundtrack* "
"I need soldiers! I don't need anybody else, but soldiers!" _--The Pendari Champion_
It's too bad this storyline wasn't longer. I would have loved to learn about the ancient history of the dominion and all species they subjugated. The founder said they agents in all four quadrants. Would have been very interesting to learn more what data they collected from that time and if they still are conducting intelligence operations in those quadrants today.
Indeed. Their impression of the ancient Voth and Hirogen would be interesting to see, especially. Seeing as their modern tech is far in advance of Star Fleet, the Klingons, etc., I wonder if that was the case with the Dominion at the time. And if one or the other were enough of a threat to ward off expansion in that direction.
@@samuelharris6540 I think they were too busy trying establish themselves in the Gamma Quadrant to be much of threat to the star nations of the other quadrants. They reached the alpha and beta border via the wormhole but without any kind quantum slipstream or transwarp drive I don't see how they could do much other then observe via changelings. Besides if they did come into contact with the Voth or another ancient star empire I'm sure they would have equivalent technologies by now through spying/espionage like they did during the dominion war.
@@Not-Ap or one of there ships was taken by the caretacker and took the long way back but considering he kills all the cardessians i imagine he would don't the same with a dominion ship's chrew.
So wait, this is how the Sword of Ka'lesh got into the Gamma Quadrant?
I didn't see that coming. No wonder the Klingons are so important to the Temporal Cold War.
Why do I get the feeling I'm seeing a Lamar roasts Franklin meme acted out by Kira and Odo? 🎵"Founderrrrr!"🎵
By this point, Capt. Hale's "Well, ... shit." has become almost his catchphrase. And I chuckle everytime I hear it. 😂❤
Whether you're Dominion or Borg, when you start using numbers to designate all the species you're screwing with, you may just be the baddies.
*The Bynars disliked this*
I don't know whats worse, genetically engineered demons, or finding out that there are real actual klingon demons that predate them and know how to access the universe.
I mean the Klingons survived them, what does that say about them?
No need to decide, because those are both true! :P
Me: A new episode of startrek!
Episode: "Well i think we're done he....well $#!+."
Some STO stories can rival TV shows and movies.
By the way, any plan to return back to your command battlecruiser anytime?
The Armiger is an Odessey class, right? What command battlecruiser (I assume T6?) did he get, and when? I think I've missed something.
@@chemputer He showed it during the fight against Vaadwaur, in the Delta Quadrant. It was Concorde class.
I love the Odyssey class, but it's only T5-U.
He’s using the T-6 endeavor class with mostly odyssey parts.
making the Fek'Ihri real isn't a bad idea just interesting
Looks like a lot of them in cold storage, too.
What's interesting is that the demons are ALSO literally real, though :P
The fact Rick's thumbnails for the Klingon faction Fekiri missions look like Doom covers is disappointing.
I need a tee shirt with Hale's surprised face and "Well....shit." written on it. Seems to be his go to phrase.
:) I may have gotten it from the Dragon Age series of games....
@CertifiablyIngame your play through is awesome. Came across your lore videos and then stumbled into STOSS and really enjoy it. Humorous and filled with lore in its own right. I've been contemplating doing a play through like you have but pushed that idea back when some of my favorite missions got yanked lop
So if Hurq Warp tech is based on Dominion Warp tech, and the Klingons reverse engineered that. It would also explain why the Klingon ships could be modified to resist the Breen weapon. I doubt the Dominion would tolerate a species that could render Dominion ships vulnerable.
well the klingon ships already resiste dthe breen tech it was the fed and romulans who had to be modified.
@@saqwana25 not all of them one Klingon engineer Changed it’s ships warp field before the battle
@@saqwana25 Only 1 Federation Alliance ship (of 312) survived the 2nd battle of Chin'toka, the IKS Ki'tang. The chief engineer had just happened to make a modification to the tritium intermix to compensate for a containment problem shortly before the battle. The rest of the Klingon Fleet was able to make that same adjustment.
The Federation and Romulan fleets had to wait for a breen weapon to be captured to be able to work out a countermeasure.
@@magical_catgirl oh okay been a while since i watch ds9 so i might have forgotten that bit sorry.
@@saqwana25 don’t apologize, I just seen that episode a lot, there probably a ton I have forgotten
I always suspected that there was some sort of connection between the Hur'q and the Dominion given the emplacement of the "museum" where the Sword of Khaless was found in DS9...
I do always wonder what most of the other more average Changelings think about this. Both Odo & the female Changeling are ironically aberrations to the Great Link, a commonality neither seem to either realize or acknowledge.
Odo acknowledged it. The Founder did not.
Watching to the end all I can say is GET TO DA CHOOPA.
"The founder has no need of you right now".
Star Trek's answer to "Now is not the time for talk!!"
Quite a lot of revelations this episode. Both for the Dominion and the Klingons. Though I did noticed the time periods were a bit off. Odo say's the Vorta were created 2,000 years ago but the dates suggests 8,000 years (Unless of course, a Dominion year is much shorter than an Earth year). Also, Rick refers to the Hur'Q invasion occurring in the 4th century, but I think he actually meant the 14th century.
Good solid story telling. This is the last season of episodes worth playing just for the story, and if you stop playing with Victory is Life the game ends with a bang. Then they pulled the best writers from the game to work on other things and episodes afterwards are just a painful slog.
“Well… Sh..t!” That seems to be Rick’s/Hale’s favourite two words 😳😂😅
Dam wonderfull content! You should be spomsored by STO!
While I agree it's great content, it doesn't make any sense for Cryptic Studios to sponsor him for playing it and essentially just cutting out the story bits and adding in his own creativity where he can, as that story takes a lot for them to develop, and also is what drives some players to play the game in the first place.
After awhile, of course, if you're going to keep playing it, you run out of story (or at least, it arrives in such small chunks with new content patches that it's not the main reason to play), and you play it for the gameplay, and a story series like this could actually be seen as usurping the market for the story, as people can watch this rather than play the game. There are plenty of games out there where the publisher will copyright strike your video if it's just a compilation of the story cutscenes.
And to be frank, most of us are here because we don't want to play the game to get the story. I've dabbled in it, but I much prefer this presentation style.
5:09 "Be seeing you"? Wait? Is Garak a member of PsiCorp?
Or a resident of The Village? (See "The Prisoner" 1967 TV series. People in The Village were under constant surveillance. That seems like something the Obsidian Order would have enjoyed.)
@@daveh7720 Garak as Number Six does make a lot of sense...
Nice ending old man, You knew something was coming, there wasn't a battle yet.
Good vid, really like your stuff.
Not sure about the others here but I actually approve of Odo's plan that lured the hurq to Bajor... it shows how great a threat they (the hurq) are
Ah another story series ep another nice meal to enjoy it with loving the series and everything else on teh channel
Another excellent production. Such a delightfull atmosphere with quite the cliffhanger. Can't wait for the next instalment. Well done indeed!
I noticed you released this video on my birthday. That was nice of you.
Every time I talk to Odo in STO I feel like I'm back in New Vegas lol.
Tuesday once again, can’t wait for this
"be seeing you" a prisoner & Babylon 5 refrence
19:41 So at least the Founders weren't lying about the Vorta being kindred spirits.
26:29 something went wrong with the Fe'kiri then as unlike the Hurk or Jem'hadar they evolved independently and inhabit Grethor which has merit as a realm like the Celestial temple of Bajor's Wormhole. Why is it that the Dominion causes so much trouble.
The odyssey class is so beautiful
Oh boy new episode soon
I'm still waiting to see what Hale does during the mission right after this one.
I love your videos
Yes!
Garek is my fav character!
Voorta Fight!
It doesn’t make sense that one Founder would fire on and possibly destroy another, they wouldn’t even do that at the height of the Dominion War.
Maybe this information might go even over a life of one founder. As this is major shit stain to dominion to make galactic treat by tampering of species dna, and I am shure when and if this start to spread Dominion controll will be heavilly swayed.
Evidently the Female Changeling either fucked up so badly somewhere along the way that she's willing to tie up any loose ends, or Odo is seen as fair game because he killed another Changeling before.
She explicitly says "Fire to disable, Odo must not be harmed."
Hot damn! I forgot it was Tuesday already
The Hurk? Why does that sound familiar... oh, Star Trek Invasion. Amazing how this ties together. I never imagined a single game for the PS1 from the 90s would come back 20 years later to be a major factor in STO
And the Zenkethi used Protomatter weapons the arc before.
I'm curious if you got the offer to have a proper live action Star Trek series following the journey of Mark Hale with you incharge, would you go for that?
It's an uplift station.
This is what happens. Sure, dolphins are cute and all but then you make them smarter, give them access to waldos with hands and we'll be up to our ass in flipper fascists.
Humanity first
I remember seeing this station,i also tried saying kill the things you find in the station with fire but uh......yeah i had to say kill it with somthing else because they like fire
31:48 more nightmare fuel yay
Saw in the first 3 min XD
Good thing Odo is a Changeling (Founder) child... so he has no insane pre-existing bias to ally with really stupid Dominion decisions and just keep the actual welfare of the Dominion (and the galaxy by proxy) in mind.
Why target Bajor? It's easier to plant something like the beacon on a planet then a Station, and it hurts himself more, knowing how Kira would feel about it.
As the Vulcans are fond of saying, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, the fact he is willing to sacrifice his relationship with Kira to save as many lives as possible is quite respectable
You make such wonderful friends like the female changeling! Just everywhere you go!
Loving this into song. Since when do cardassians have cloaking tech?
I believe that they're Intel ships. Like the federation Intel ships, they were given cloaking devices
They are not beholden to the treaty of Algeron.
Its still kind of strange to me to hear the original actors re-doing their characters for a 'simple' game, and nice for old time Trek fans (and of course, sad to hear the voices of the actors that have since passed on like Rene and Aron :-(
I kind of compare whoever is writing the 'story lines' for Star Trek Online to the current writers of Star Wars on Disney+, like The Mandalorian and Clone Wars (Primarily Dave Filioni).
Like Dave, these writers seem to have a deep understanding of what makes Star Trek work, and are able to work within previously established canon to make some great now story content (although of course that content has to be structured to work within the confines of a MMO, but still).
Hell, I almost appreciate their efforts to work some of the Discovery Era trek into their setting, as much as I despise STD myself.
I like how the ending shows us something major coming, and then the youtube suggestion "DABBO" appears, as if the episode itself is screaming "JackPot!!!"
I am really enjoying this, but it makes me sad that this is as close to a continuation of the DS9 story and its characters that we will ever get. Its is good to hear some of the original voice cast in these roles again, but i wish this could have been live action in a legitimate Star trek series. They have had 20 years to give us good Star Trek but they have waited too long and now it is too late.
Glad I didn’t see that coming or anything... guessing by the end of all this the female founder will be back in prison or dead
Cliffhanger anyone?
What happened to the Hur'q? When the Dominion discovered them, they were intelligent and friendly... Was something done to them while they were hibernating?
No spoilers. Watch Ric's episodes to find out.
Probably, that's what Founders do. Sounds like they hadn't fully developed their genetic engineering tech and screwed something up, turning the Hur'Q into something like the Reavers in Firefly. Capable of interstellar travel but insane and insanely dangerous.
It would be even more interesting for a remnant of the original Hur'Q to turn up and join in the fight against the modern version.
@@markfergerson2145 No spoilers, lol
@@Corbomite_Meatballs Uh, okay- that's all extrapolation and SWAG (Scientific Wild-Assed Guess).
since when does any founder need verified access to anything?
This video contains a very _Star Wars_ -esque side wipe on May the 4th.
Hay were is sicko in this game?
....."Well... Shit..."
What in all the anime hells is up with that creature design
Question, how do you say "The Only One They Fear is You" in Klingon?
Edit: After asking around, the answer seems to be "DaghIjbogh SoH neH SoH"
According to the UT: "wa' puS"
Why would a drop in an ocean have different levels
Wow they wrote Odo as pretty cold because even if the planet was in no danger people and officials plus civilians were killed.
The old Odo would never put the woman he loves in the slightest danger.
He understands the federation and Klingon mindset.
He doesn’t need to lie about anything.
Offer the Klingons an honorable fight plus loot to one clan and all will jump in.
Klingons respect the dominion fighters.
The federation is harder by this time the federation has learned their lesson about ignoring huge threats.
But a simple demonstration on a deserted planet with the device will win the argument.
Plainly put that is not Odo but a changling that is conforming more and more like his people.
Considering some of the later stuff in this, I kind of suspect that Odo was as much trapped in this mess as everyone else.
It also seems like Bajor would have been a major target anyway due to the Hur'q that were in the Alpha Quadrant in hibernation. This just sped it up to happen earlier, and the female changeling seems like she'd be creating issues for Odo in other plans as well
Well shit indeed
That's exactly what I said when my Klingon captain walked in there on that mission.
Admiral Hale is a Cowboy Diplomat. He won't start a fight but he'll absolutely finish one.
Admiral Amane however is very much willing to shoot first if it means doing the right thing.
Hale flies a primarily exploration ship.
Amane flies a Galaxy X.
What a difference in command styles for captains from the same era.
Any more check the book of Enoch it might show more also
Well….shit…. 😂
Man, I hope someone answers that phone, because I fucking called it.
Attack bajor and yiubget the federation the cardassians and the Klingon interests.
That will bring Ferengi and the rest into the involvement all while allowing the dominion to engage and call the shots.
5 to one odds that the hurq are unaltered jem'hadar
Or they eat the Jem Hadar when they awake after a long nap. Jem Hadar out among the stars make them crazy?
Is there any point at which the female changeling is anything other than completely insufferable? She must spend most of her spare time practicing her sneer, because she's awfully good at it.
Why the hell the dominion allowed warp capable craft to get to the surface of qonos demonstrates a absolute foolishness.
They didn't allow it they were getting their asses kicked
@@alexthomas6602
So?
"No warp capable ships within 1 ly of qonos" isn't that hard to enforce and eliminates the Klingon getting the warp ships.
Under estimation of others is the dominions 1 main weakness.
@@damenwhelan3236 they probably didn't count on the Klingon being able to fight also the hurq weren't really taking orders from the dominion
Fate - The Winx Saga please can you review this book can you make a video about this book thank you so much please keep up your amazing work stay safe and have a wonderful and blessed day
12:53 The frick? Since when the Hell do the Founders have a pecking order? The drop becomes the ocean, the ocean becomes the drop!
Well, they hid things from Odo in the past, so...
I was wondering the same thing actually. In the shows the female founder seem to be a little bit baffled by the concept of a hierarchical command structure. Now how is it that the founders actually have one of their very own?
@@amandamills4133 Remember in STO that the female Founder had been locked up in Facility 4028 at least 30 years (until you had to get her out to save DS9), and in solitary. That's bound to change your galaxy-view on some things.
That's just what they tell solids, trying to get us to copy them to turn us all into Communists so we can be more easily controlled... or destroyed. ;>)
@@Corbomite_Meatballs Unless you're Miles O'brien
Then you'd get over all of the damage from solitary confinement just in time for the next episode
1st
Then serve your founder well
