Welcome back space travelers for Day 2
of Favorite Deep Space Nine Episodes and I feel this one in
particular will be appreciate by all Original Series fans. Beginning
Episode 19 of Season 2, carrying on with her duties Lt. Dax (Terry
Farrell) hears about a drunken Klingon threatening to
disembowel Quark while singing Klingon songs of victory and enjoying
a holo-suite program of the Battle of Klach D'Kel Brakt, a legendary
battle and victory over the Romulans almost a hundred years ago.

With a quick check down at the brig,
Dax sees Curzon's old friend, Dahar Master Kor (John Colicos
of Anne of the Thousand Days, Raid on Rommel, The Changeling, The
Postman Always Rings Twice and Battlestar Galactica) drunk as
a skunk and attempting to sober up. From Kor Dax finds out that the
blood oath that Curzon swore is finally coming to light.
Nearly 80 years have passed and Kor's
fellow Dahar Masters Kang (Michael Ansara of Broken Arrow, Law
of the Plainsman, Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends, Rambo,
Assassination, Babylon 5, Batman: The Animated Series and The Long
Road Home) and Koloth (William Campbell of Star Trek,
Black Gunn, Emergency!, Adam-12, The Streets of San Francisco and
Star Trek: Judgement Rites) shapen their blades and prepare
for glorious battle and revenge for the death of their first born
sons. A bandit and murderer known as The Albino (Bill Bolender
of Brooklyn South, The Commissioner, JAG, The Magnificent Seven,
Surface and Desperate Housewives) swore revenge on the sons
of the commanding captains of three Klingon battle cruisers, as he
had each first born son poisoned on a genetic level.

| So then he says, "Hoover? I don't even know her." |
Kang and Koloth mourn the loss of their
fallen comrade Curzon in their own way and feel that Jadzia has no
place with them in their revenge but Jadzia feels otherwise as each
of these men were in her previous life and much is owed to these men
of valor and honor.
As these legendary and honored heroes
of the Empire plot and scheme, Dax must wonder if the blood oath
applies to Jadzia Dax as well as it did to Curzon Dax. Should a new
host take on the obligations, duties and unfinished business of the
previous host?
All three of our Dahar
Masters(Legendary Warrior Status among Klingons) apprised their Original Series roles as Michael Ansara as Kang from
Day of the Dove, William Campbell as Koloth in The Trouble with
Tribbles and John Colicos as Kor from Errand of Mercy.
Interestingly enough, William Campbell played two different
characters on Star Trek as Kor and Trelane of The Squire of Gothos.
Michael Ansara's voice acting is also an easy spot asGeneral Warhawk
from the Rambo cartoon and Mr. Freeze of Batman: The Animated Series.
