Production Number 569

Summary
The Dominion and the Breen, and Dukat and Winn, very strange friends to say the least.

The Review
A very nice little entertaining episode. I can't help but feel it is extremely difficult to review the 'Final Chapter' episodes because they are no longer short stories, but parts of a much, much larger story. In all honesty I feel that 'Strange Bedfellows' was here to help construct the bridge for the plot to cross over into... ?

The Dukat/Winn relationship has taken a very nasty turn.. Dukat has suggested that the Paghwraiths are indeed the true gods of Bajor. For this subplot the episode focused mainly on Winn's trouble as a spiritual leader to accept the Paghwraiths as gods. There was a powerful scene with Kira in which Winn faces whether or not she is of any use to Bajor any longer. Truly amazing.

The Worf and Ezri story arc appears to finally be sizzling out. The tense relationship between the two has dissappeared and replaced now with friendship. Despite entertaining it would seem this subplot has lost it's former interest.

The Breen are very present this episode, in most cases they are consulting with Weyoun 8, who by now has learned he will be the last Weyoun clone. On a whole I really do not like the Breen prescence. Seemingly they are more of a conveneince than a usefullness. There would have been a great deal to examine about their role in this war, such as motivators. Yet we see none of the such. This struck me as the only weakness of the episode, and maybe the entire Final Chapter.

Rating: A-
