4.0 out of 5 stars To the death... well 'til I'm tired!, August 20, 2000

This review is from: Star Trek - Deep Space Nine, Episode 96: To the Death [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Deep Space Nine is attacked by a group of Jem'hadar would steal some equipment and supplies. Sisko is outraged and takes the Defiant into the Gamma Quadrant to stop them, determined to send a message to the Founders that Starfleet will not stand-by and let Dominion ships go unpunished. Once in the Gamma Quadrant the Defiant finds a crippled Jem'hadar warship with a Vorta onboard, Weyoun.

Weyoun informs Sisko that the Jem'hadar that attacked DS9 are renegades and that they stole the equipment to make a powerful portal, utilizing ancient technology that allows them to transport to anywhere in the galaxy instantly. Thinking of Earth and how vulnerable it would be, Sisko teams up with the Jem'hadar in an attempt to take out these renegades before they fix the transporter.

Apparently these renegades are ruthless and want to rule the Dominion on there own, that is why Weyoun is after them, when they pick up sensor information that this portal is nearly fixed an attack is launched. Fighting side-by-side Sisko and Weyoun must destroy the portal... a bloody action-packed episode that sheds new light on the Jem'hadar society!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Founders, Vorta and Jem'Hadar are not always in harmony, good news for the Federation, December 3, 2011

This review is from: Star Trek - Deep Space Nine, Episode 96: To the Death [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Independent of the incarnation, the best episodes of Star Trek are those that delve deep into the structure of non-human societies. In this case, we learn a great deal about the relationships between the Jem'Hadar, the Vorta and the Founders.
A Jem'Hadar team attacks DS9 and steals some power equipment, leaving a great deal of destruction and many casualties. Determined to make them pay; Sisko takes the Defiant into the Gamma quadrant to hunt them down. During the pursuit they discover a damaged Jem'Hadar ship and recover the crew. They learn that the Jem'Hadar that attacked DS9 are renegades that are determined to construct a Gateway that would allow them to transport across light years and so they could invade any planet with ease. Neither the Federation nor the Dominion want this to happen.
A temporary alliance is formed between Sisko's team and the Jem'Hadar. They travel to the location where the renegades are building the Gateway in an attempt to destroy it. There is friction between the groups, but we learn a great deal about the society in the Dominion and how the three groups interact.
This is a very interesting episode, we learn that there is not complete harmony in the Dominion, the Jem'Hadar are not completely controlled and are capable of independent actions and even challenging the Founders. Extremely tough and capable soldiers, they are also capable of exhibiting some curiosity about other species, even though it is roughly expressed.
