**** SPOILERS ****
Images in the Sand - Part I
Shadows and Symbols - Part II
In this first of a two-parter- after an assassination attempt on Sisko, he decides to search for the Prophets (who disappeared in the season finale). In the conclusion- Sisko finds something . . . interesting during his search for the Prophets. Ezri Dax is introduced in this episode. Ezri is a young Trill woman who doesn't want to be joined but she is only one there who can be joined when the Dax symbiont reacts badly to something coming from its damaged shuttle. Despite the fact that she really doesn't want to be joined she does anyhow to save the symbiont. She then (of course) ends up working on DS9 once she is joined. Since she underwent no training and didn't want to be joined- the joining process is kinda messed up and she ends up a complete nut. She is overwhelmed by Dax and the past hosts but at the same time, her will is so strong that she overwhelms it much of the time too. To make matters worse for Ezri, its seem that Worf is convinced that she is married to him, at least part of her (this scene is apparently VERY funny :-) She barely even likes him, when she is Ezri at least, but the Dax/Jadzia in her is still in love with him. This makes matters even WORSE for poor Ezri!
"She's had no training," [Ira Steven] Behr offers, "and she can't deal with all the personalities that are talking to her in her head at the same time. So suddenly, she's all these different people, yet not these people. She has all these memories and people's habits and things like that. On top of everything, she was an assistant ship's counselor, so it's the therapist who's more screwed up than the patients. This allows us to play the counselor in a much more creative way."
After Image
Garak first appears in this episode and interacts with Ezri Dax. Deals mostly with Ezri's relationships with Sisko and Worf.
Take Me Out to the Holo-Suite
Rom and Leeta are in this episode. An episode about Jake Sisko featuring, obviously, his love of baseball. He apperantly trys to teach Rom and Leeta the game.
Chrysalis
Features the return of the "Jack Pack", the genetically engineered "mutants" from Statistical Probabilities. Will show Jack as well as Serena coming out of her shell.
Dysfunctional
Ezri finally just can't cope with her joining to the Dax symbiont. She trys to escape this "horrible" fate by hiring an alien surgeon to remove Dax from her. Something goes wrong (but of course) and it results in the risk of losing both Ezri and Dax.

(*** Upcoming DS9 Episodes ***) **Spoilers**
"In the Pale Moonlight"
Written by Michael Taylor, with rewrites by Ron Moore.
A Sisko show, in which the Dominion War is featured front
and center. When the Dominion overthrow Betazed, Sisko
decides it's time to convince the Romulans to join the war
effort, and enlists Garak to undertake covert operations to
do so. However, the episode becomes very complicated
and in the end, Sisko will find himself in deep personal
conflict. Begins an increasing Romulan presence in the
series.
"His Way"
Written by Rene Echevarria.
Set in a holographic Las Vegas and features Odo and Kira.
Their relationship is further explored. According to Nana
Visitor, the episode features a cameo of James Darren.
"The Reckoning"
Written by Bradley Thompson & David Weddle.
A Sisko show that sees the return of Kai Winn (Louise
Fletcher) in which Bajoran faith is tested in the face of pure
evil, a common theme this season. Also sees the return of
the pah-wraiths which took over Keiko's body in
"The Assignment". This time, they possess Jake
while the Prophets possess Kira in the ultimate conflict
between good and evil.
"Valiant"
Deals with a Defiant class vessel (The Valiant) with a
rather unconventional crew. Jake and Nog are picked up
from behind enemy lines by the Valiant.
"Profit and Lace"

Leeta return in this Ferengi show which will change the
nature of Ferengi society as we know it.
"Out of Time"

now.
"The Sound of Her Voice" (Season Finale)
Title still unconfirmed.
Will deal with the fate of Dax (since Terry Farrell will be
leaving DS9 after this season).
Ira Steven Behr:
"At this stage in the game, when we have a season-and-a-half left of the show, I don't see the
war totally ending until close to the end of the series. That
doesn't mean every episode will be about the war. But the
war will become a constant presence in the lives of our
characters."
(*** Other DS9 News ***)
Nana Visitor (Kira) confirmed recently that Terry Farrell will
be leaving DS9 after this season. However, this still have
not been verified by Paramount.
The fate of Dax will be decided in the season finale.
According to Farrell: "I have a feeling that they'�ll put the
worm in someone else. Suddenly Worf is married to a
woman he doesn'�t recognize."
10th March 1998
Terry (Dax) Farrell is to quit DS9, season 6 being her last season.
She told TV Guide:
"It's not about money. That sounds like I'm really ungrateful for the job, but it would be great to try something different."
Terry Farrell was on the Howard Stern show (Feb 23rd)
and had just done a convention in NYC. She said the convention was
a chance to say 'goodbye'. When asked what that meant, she said it
was her 6th season on DS9 and that she hasn't signed a new contract.
She also stated that she was headed to LA today to do interviews for
a new job, it's the beginning of Pilot Season, when studios make
pilot shows to sell to Networks for television here in the States.
She said, and this is a paraphrase, "I need to look for a new job."
Michelle Walker at the Terry Farrell Fan Club confirmed that she
hasn't signed for a 7th season - and said:
"She mentioned that she is fairly sure Dax is going to be killed
off, as opposed to being sent to some remote base. She suggested
that they send Dax away in case she ever did want to come back for
a guest thing, but the writers told her that killing Dax off was
more effective.
She was given an offer and told to 'take it or leave it' and she
declined the offer."

Here are descriptions on the latest DS9 episodes
Waltz
While transporting Gul Dukat to stand trial for war crimes,
Sisko's ship is attacked and destroyed, leaving Sisko and
the mentally-deranged Dukat on a deserted planet.
Who Mourns for Morn?
Morn, having been caught in an Ion storm, is believed to
be killed. However, he's not, he's just believed to be. Morn
has left all of his belongings to Quark, and he won the
Bolian lottery. 1000 Bars of Latinum. Odo is ticked at
seeing that Quark has this, and they then go to see his
prize. Odo and Quark go into Morn's quarters, and see
nothing, except for a painting. Quark is so PO'd that he
blows the painting through someone's head, and there's
one strip of Latinum in the painting.
Quark turns it over and sees a number. He comes to the
conclusion that the number is the account number that has
all the money, and it is. He goes to claim his fortune, and is
first ambushed by two people. Nahsk and Krit, who claim to
be business assoicites Nahsk is a little on the stupid side.
They demand some of the fortune, and Quark gives it to
them. Then someone named Larell finds him, and asks him
for some, claiming to be his ex-wife. Then a guy named
Hain comes saying that it's really the royal family's
money. Quark then holds a meeting with all of them, and
they all hate each other.
We later find out that these 4, and Morn, raided a bank to
get all the money, and Morn's been storing it. Quark then
tells them to "pretend he's Morn," and split the money in
five. Everyone thinks that all the others agree, and all but
Quark plan to ambush each other and kill them, and take
all the money. They almost succedd, with Quark right
about to die when Odo shows up and saves the day.
Quark gets the fortune but... uh... there's no latinum in it!
Just plain, old gold.
Morn then comes back, and they find out that the latinum
is stored in Morn's second stomach. They then start
planning to sell all this regular gold to some unknowing
civilization...
Far Beyond the Stars
When Sisko falls in to a coma, he dreams that he's a sci-fi
writer in the 1950's writing about the adventures aboard
Deep Space Nine. This is the episode where Marc Alaimo
(Dukat), Jeffery Combs (Weyoun), Michael Dorn (Worf), Nana
Visitor (Kira), Andrew Robinson (Garak) and Armin Shimerman
(Quark) appear without make-up, and will apparently play
characters in Sisko's coma close to the characters they
play regularly. Brock Peters (Sisko's dad) and Penny
Johnson (Kassidy Yates) also return.
The fact that the actors appear as humans was apparently
a big secret that Marc Alaimo blew. Ron Moore says,
"Marc has a big mouth".
Honor Among Theives
O'Brien going on an intelligence mission. He's infiltrating the
Orion Syndicate, who have appearently teamed up with
the Dominion. They plan to kill Gowron, and make it
seem like other Klingons did it to stir up civil war.
Meanwhile, O'Brien grows attached to "Bilby," the person
who he's infiltrating the syndicate through. His boss for the
mission, Chadwick, tells him that Bilby will probably die (by
the hand of the syndicate), and O'Brien even feels worse
because Bilby keeps saying how "family is the most
important thing." And how he's always saving up to visit
them. O'Brien spills the beans to Bilby, and tells him to get
away, but he refuses because the syndicate would kill his
family. Meanwhile on the station, life is hell for most of the
people because none of the systems are working w/o
O'Brien."
Change of Heart
Dax and Worf are going on a secret mission behind Cardie
lines to get someone who wants to defect (not to mention
that that guy has info on all the Founders in the Alpha
Quadrent.) Worf and Dax go, and are ambushed by some
Jem'Hadar.
They kill the Jem'Hadar, but Dax is seriously wounded.
They mutually decide that Worf will go on, and pick up
Jadzia's (dead) body, and Worf does that, but he realizes
that it's wrong. So he goes back, without the defector, and
picks up Jadzia (who stays alive). When they get back to
the station, Sisko dresses Worf down, but then says that if
he where Worf and Dax was Jennifer, he would have done
the same thing. But Worf will probably never get a
command thanks to that. And Quark has been on a stroll in
Tongo, winning 208 consecutive games. O'Brien decides
that he needs to beat Quark, but then decides that it would
be better for Julian to, after all he's genetically engineered.
But Julian loses to Quark.
Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night
A reportedly intense Kira story which features -- shall we
say -- a rather unique chronological structure.
Patriots
Jake discovers that his father has not always played
according to the rules in his efforts to defeat the Dominion.
Inquisition
Bashir becomes involved with a shadowy organization that
may or may not manipulate the course of Federation history
from behind the scenes.

29th August 1997
On the AOL Star Trek message boards Ron Moore states that Colm Meaney has not, is not and never will by leaving Deep Space Nine.
25th August 1997
Rumours are suggesting that Colm Meaney (Chief O'Brien) will be leaving Deep Space Nine during the sixth season. In the 6th episode "Sacrifice of Angels" O'Brien will be severly wounded and have to return to Earth for treatment and to recover. If this turns out to be true I'm sure that O'Brien will be missed by all DS9 fans, but I am sure that we all wish Colm well in his movie career.
20th August 1997
It has been confirmed that the first 6 episodes of season 6 of DS9 will have a story arc of the crew trying to get back the station. The first 6 episodes are as follows:
"A Time to Stand"
"Rocks and Shoals"
"Sons and Daughters"
"Behind the Lines"
"Faver the Bold"
"Sacrifice of Angels"
After that will be "Once upon a wedding" with the marage of Dax and Worf,
and soon after that there will be a mirror universe show.
