The Orb 51: To Come As an Angel of Light

The Final Chapter, Part 2 of 9: 'Til Death Do Us Part. If Sisko had his way, the story of Deep Space Nine would have ended with a happy wedding. Benjamin Lafayette Sisko and Kasidy Danielle Yates would have ridden off into the Bajoran sunset for a life of comfort in their Kendra Province home. But the Prophets had different plans for Ben. So did Dukat. And Winn. And the Pah Wraiths. The list goes on. But in short, the story of the Emissary was not going to come to a peaceful conclusion. In this episode of The Orb hosts Christopher Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our series of shows that will take you through the entire nine-part, ten-hour Deep Space Nine finale with the second episode in the story, "'Til Death Do Us Part." We discuss Kai Winn's budding gig as a wannabe wedding planner, the difficulty Kasidy has in accepting Sisko's role in the Bajoran religion, and the evolving relationship between Worf and Ezri. We also examine the battle between the Pah Wraith's and Prophets, Dukat's surprising concern for Damar, and why no one needs to see (old) villain love.
