Reactions and Reviews

'Prophecy' is a Kira and Bashir story, so why there's a picture of Dax on the cover is beyond me. The story uses a time travel gimmick and has Bashir with amnesia for most of it. While I liked the story, it really isn't a DS9 story. To be honest, Kira and Bashir could have been interchanged with any other ST characters, and it would make very little difference in the story.
