Meridian

This Story: Season 3 Episode 8 (production code 454)
DS9 Overall: Episode 54

Airdate: 14 Nov 1994
Story by Hilary Bader & Evan Carlos Somers

Notes

  • The original title of this episode was “Prophet in the Wind”.
  • The DS9 Companion book says this episode is based off of the musical Brigadoon.
  • The first appearance of Jeffrey Combs on Star Trek in the first of his 8,000 characters.  This one was Tiron.  He would later play the much larger roles of Weyoun & Brunt on Deep Space Nine (and something in every incarnation of Trek after this).  Combs was one of the actors who auditioned for Riker on TNG.
  • The settlement on Meridian is just a re-use of a shot for the TNG episode “Birthright, Part II“.
  • The first time Dax verbalizes that her spots go “all the way” down her body.
  • The first episode where we see the transporter room for the Defiant.
  • The backstory of Odo’s “feelings” for Kira are expanded on here.
  • The second of three DS9 episodes directed by Jonathan Frakes.  The remaining one is “Past Tense Part II“.
