Description

Dominion Breadcrumbs, Part 2.

While Deep Space Nine may be best known for the Dominion War, getting to that storyline was a gradual process for the writers. After the Gamma Quadrant's imperial force was finally revealed at the end of Season 2, there were still a lot of mysteries to unshroud as Season 3 began with "The Search."

In this episode of The Orb, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing conclude their Hansel and Gretel-style journey following the breadcrumbs sprinkled by the writers as they set up the story that would come to define one of Star Trek's most complex chapters.
