Defiant

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

When William Riker from the Enterprise unexpectedly arrives on DS9 on vacation, he takes a liking to Kira, who has also been ordered to take some time off. However, when Kira gives Will a tour of the Defiant, it becomes clear that there’s more to Will’s vacation than meets the eye.

Our Take

Very good — not the series’ peak, but an hour that reminds you why Star Trek: Deep Space Nine works.
