 Treks just don't get any better than this ... September 1, 2000
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
STARSHIP DOWN is an outstanding tale, reminescent of all those great Cold War films from Earth's 1960s ... the enemy is out there, but we just don't know where it is. Heavy on subplots involving red shirts that, sadly, we never see again, Worf, Quark, Dax, Bashir, and Kira all have lessons to learn in the midst of a conflict to save their lives while the Defiant is falling apart around them as they're trapped in the atmosphere of a huge gaseous planet ... all this with 2 Jem'Hadar ships in close pursuit! Some terrific character moments from what was arguably their best season of DS9.

Starfleet is trying to get some information out of the Karemma, the same race that helped direct the Defiant to the Dominion communications relay in The Search (Part 1). The Jem'hadar get wind of this and are not impressed, attempting to destroy both the Karemma vessel and the Defiant. With the ship crippled, Sisko calls for them to head into the unstable atmosphere of a gas giant. Once in there they need to come up with a way to get home, all the while three meanacing Jem'hadar fighters are searching the gaseous atmosphere. The major characters get divided in the most hilarious circumstances that should've been serious but looked slapstick and totally scientifically inaccurate. Thinking that they're all going to die 'secrets' are revealed in the heat of the moment, nothing shocking, nothing exciting, add to that one of those "the Captain's going to die unless we get back in 40 minutes" stories and you have a melodramatic predictable episode.

On a mission in the Gamma Quadrant, the Defiant is attacked by the Jem Hadar who are out to punish the Karemma. When the Defiant pursues the Karemma and Jen Hadar vessels into the gaseous atmosphere of a giant planet, the ship is attacked and severely damaged. Struggling to repair the crippled ship, Dax and Bashir become trapped in a turolift, Sisko and Kira wounded on the bridge, Quark trapped in the Mess Hall, and Worf and O'Brien in the Engine Room tring to save the ship. A great episode. The effects were good. Just a great episode.
