532 - Resurrection

Data Stellare Sconosciuta: Quando uno sconosciuto si materializza a bordo di Deep Space Nine e prende Kira in ostaggio, la bajoriana scopre che questa persona assomiglia in maniera impressionante a Vedek Bareil. Lo sconosciuto si rivela essere Bareil stesso proveniente dall'Universo dello Specchio e sta fuggendo da un'Alleanza che sta tentando di catturarlo.

In questo episodio...

• Sisko utilizza il codice di accesso «Sisko 7-1-green».

Note

• La Star Trek Encyclopedia segnala erroneamente che questo episodio è stato scritto da René Echevarria.

YATI

• Quando Bareil viene teletrasportato dall'universo alternativo in OPS, O'Brien rileva il segnale di teletrasporto, ma ciò non accade quando l'Intendente si trasporta sulla Stazione.
• Quando Bareil con Kira in ostaggio esce da OPS per andare alla navetta, non utilizza il turboascensore, ma va a piedi attraverso i corridoi. È strano che, poco dopo essere usciti da OPS, i due salgano per una scala, dal momento che OPS si trova nella parte più alta dell'anello di attracco.

Scene tagliate

Prima della conversazione tra Dax e Kira riguardo al capitano Boday, nel teaser erano previste queste scene:

FADE IN:

1    INT. KIRA'S QUARTERS

Early morning. KIRA is hanging one of Ziyal's framed
ink brush paintings on her wall. PULL BACK TO REVEAL
two more of Ziyal's paintings already hanging on the
same wall. The door CHIMES.

    KIRA
  Come in.

2    DAX ENTERS

as Kira finishes hanging the picture and steps back to
see the effect. Dax YAWNS, not yet fully awake.

    DAX
  Is it my imagination or does oh-
  six-hundred seem to come earlier
  and earlier?

    KIRA
  Either that, or you've been going
  to bed later and later.

    DAX
  I'd forgotten how... strenuous
  married life can be.

Kira and Dax exchange wry grins as Kira finishes
hanging the paintings.

    KIRA
   (re: the paintings)
  What do you think?

Dax takes a moment to take in the Ziyal memorial wall.

    DAX
  I think Ziyal was talented... but
  not that talented.

Kira tries to study the wall with a more objective eye.

    KIRA
  Too much?

In answer, Dax walks over to the wall and takes down
two of the paintings, leaving a single picture. Dax
steps back and stands next to Kira.

    DAX
  There, that's better.

Kira has to agree.

    KIRA
  How did you know that was my
  favorite one?

    DAX
  I guessed. Come on, we're going
  to be late.

Kira nods and they head for the door.

    DAX
  You really miss her, don't you?


3    INT. HABITAT RING CORRIDOR - CONTINUOUS

Dax and Kira emerge from her quarters and walk down the
hallway.

    KIRA
  I'll get over it. Death and I are
  old friends.

    DAX
   (joking)
  Maybe he can be your date tomorrow
  night.

    KIRA
   (an old argument)
  I told you, I'm not bringing
  anyone.

    DAX
  I know what you told me, but
  people change their minds.

    KIRA
  Not me. Not about this.

Dax isn't about to let Kira off so easy.

Quando Kira e Bareil sono nel tempio bajoriano, dopo l'ultima battuta di Bareil sulla sua fede, il rito del vedek prosegue...

From behind them [Kira e Bareil], we hear a loud SHUSHING sound. Kira
and Bareil look at each other, then revert their
attention to the elaborate ceremony being performed by
the Vedek.

26   VEDEK OSSAN

stands at the dais, where the orb has been placed, and
solemnly places both hands on the sides of the box.
Closing his eyes, he begins to chant:

    OSSAN
  Yelim cha ono... tarnah purono
  dhar jeek... teram far che...
  yavar ha iktasho...

27   BAREIL AND KIRA

as she and the other Bajorans close their eyes and join
in on the chant.

    KIRA
   (to Bareil)
  Close your eyes.

    BAREIL
  Excuse me?

    KIRA
  Close your eyes.

After a beat he does, joining the chant as best he can.

    GROUP
  Yelim cha ono... tarnah purono
  dhar jeek... teram far che...
  yavar ha iktasho...

Durante la cena da Worf e Jadzia, dopo che Worf offre altro vino di sangue a Bareil, era prevista questa scena:

    WORF
  Now I will tell you one of my
  stories.

    BAREIL
  And I suppose every word of it
  will be true.

    WORF
  Mostly.

Worf finishes pouring the bloodwine, and begins telling
his story to Bareil.

    WORF
  I was seventeen and serving as an
  ensign on the U.S.S. Hawk. We
  were two days out of port when
  this anomaly hit us --

As Worf goes on with his tale, Dax leans over to Kira.

    DAX
   (sotto voce; re: Bareil)
  I'll say this for him, he might
  not be as spiritual as Vedek
  Bareil -- but he's a lot more fun.

Kira smiles... she might not agree fully with Dax's
statement, but she's happy to know her friends like her
"date."
