juhan Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Hey, does anyone realize that when the Defiant crashed into this planet with isolated Jem Hadars, the ending is missing? It just ends with Sisko barking orders to set up a burial detail. But they never mention how they get off the planet etc etc. Thats really weird, considering startrek.com actually mentions in the episode summary that Worf manages to fix the ship and send them home.

ml241 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 6x02- that was "Rocks and Shoals", wasn't it? The Defiant never crashed on that planet, they had taken the Jem'Hadar ship! Now that I think about it, the details of the ending are somewhat fuzzy to me, though I seem to remember that they were picked up by someone else. I could be wrong on this- that was hardly the focus of the episode, and it's hard to remember such peripheral details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhug666 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 yes rocks and shoals is the 2nd ep of season 6, and yes it they do crash using the stolen jem'hadar fighter as for the ep i'll post as a standalone later on 2day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juhan Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 Yep you're right it was Jem Hadar ship sorry my bad... but my main question is... the ending of it wasnt clear! It didn't show them being taken off the planet. Then suddenly 6x03 shoes Worf and Dax kissing in a room, presumably off the planet already. How odd!

TFMF Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Well actually in that ep (6X03) Sisko says to Martok about 'thanks for getting us off that planet' or somthing like that - Martok rescues them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holly18 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Seems to be some confusion... Is the ending actually missing as in: the video cuts out before the end and the file is damaged? or it just doesn't make sense the way it was written?

TFMF Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 No it is not missing - and it DOES make sense - you just have to watch the next episode and see Sisko and Martok talking :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juhan Posted February 20, 2006 Author Share Posted February 20, 2006 TFMF: if what you're saying is true, have a look at this: http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/series/DS9/episode/69038.html relevant extract from site description of episode 6x02: "At dawn, Remata'Klan and his men are trapped by the Starfleet crew, but Sisko offers to help the group escape. Remata'Klan refuses to surrender, explaining that as a Jem'Hadar he has no choice but to follow Keevan's command. Sadly, Sisko orders his crew to proceed, and the Jem'Hadar troops are massacred. The communication equipment is repaired, and Worf answers their call for help." I suppose its the same thing since Worf was probably in Martok's ship too. Lemme watch 6x03 again. And if you're right, then the producer didn't do a good job in terms of continuity coz it left the audience stranded and confused for a while (end of one episode: they are still on the planet - beginning of next episode: word and jadzia kissing in a room which doesn't exist on a remote unpopulated planet).

Mav Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Um..you do realize this is common "usage" of an episode ending right? If the conflict or arc of an episode is "complete" and the episode ends, the viewer is meant to assume they are ok. Case in point, the Jem Hadar are defeated in 6x02. They have food, water, and shelter. It would simply be a matter of time to wait until someone came along. Plenty and I do mean plenty of episodes in all Star Trek series end like this. TNG was probably the better ones at "clearing it up" before an episode ended but DS9, Voyager and even Enterprise all did the ending of an episode without actually showing the results. Stargate does this quite a bit, both SG-1 and Atlantis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcroft Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Also what is failed to be mentioned is that Keevan - the Vorta - had the comms unit - which his men couldn't fix - good soldiers, - but not the brightest of fellows, especially when suffering from withdrawl. Would then assume that the Federations contacted the Klingons to look for the missing Jem Hadar fighter used by the DS9 crew - Martok and Worf being in the area and such, went in under cloak and picked up the distress signal. Which you saw at the beginning of ep 3. Nothing wrong with continuity - just meant that you had to use the little grey cells and actually put 2 and 2 together - not quite quantum mechanics now really.

juhan Posted February 20, 2006 Author Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hmmm ok. My bad then. I just rewatched the beginning of 6x03 and realized that Sisko said to Martok "Thank you for rescuing us". The one line that I probably wasnt paying attention to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Yeah - it's hard to spot - since that's like the only line that makes Sisko and his crew being back on the Klingon ship make sense :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostShadow Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Well that was one of my fav eps of DS9, but I cant remember the ending. All I remember is that they crased DEEP in Dominion space...so who would have picked them up? But they did have that subspace desress becon that called for help, but I dont know WHO picked them up. And I dont think that it matters all that much either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
