Crikey, I kinda feel a growing sense of unease and I certainly feel more than a little scared. The surprise of the Shentarian appearance is more than a little ominous, particularly in light of their change of tactics. Perhaps the Cats were acting a little cocky or thinking they had an easy target. I've a feeling that there is a lot more going on and taking the decision to come to an all stop has to be one scary ass decision to take. But the tachyon bursts? What the heck is that about?
I've also been duped by the wonderful warm and fuzzy start as we got Dryden reflecting on becoming XO. That was conveyed wonderfully and it made me proud for him and of Beth that he'd view it so. Then of course we switch to battle mode and the armour donning Captain with a twist - or should that be a plat?!
Also excellent way to convey the sense of the ships working in tandem. Something difficult to get across on the page and not managed really to any success on TV, if say one took the various large battles portrayed in DS9. Kudos.
