Star Trek Quietly Erased Deep Space Nine’s Darkest Sisko Storyline From Trek History

The new Star Trek series, Starfleet Academy, recently revisited the events of DS9 and brought back characters from the more recent timeline. One episode focused on the conclusion of Benjamin Sisko’s story, but a less explored aspect of his life is how it all began. Viewers first met Sisko as the first officer on the USS Saratoga, which was destroyed during the Battle of Wolf 359. This battle saw Starfleet fight the Borg, and their famous Captain Jean-Luc Picard was assimilated, becoming Locutus of Borg. Though the Enterprise crew eventually rescued him, Picard became a legend among those who survived Wolf 359 – remembered as the only Borg so dangerous they earned a name. However, the initial episode of Deep Space Nine never fully delved into the tension between Sisko and Picard.

‘The Bride!’ Review: Jessie Buckley Breathes Life into a Monstrous Mess

Jessie Buckley’s powerful performance is the main reason this ambitious, though somewhat chaotic, film manages to work. While her character, the bride, represents the movie’s ideas more than a fully realized person, we root for her because of the intense anger she feels at being resurrected simply to satisfy a man. That man, Frankenstein’s monster, played brilliantly by Bale, is more relatable and evokes our sympathy through his clearer emotional journey. Though this unconventional couple doesn’t quite deliver the feminist statement the film aims for, director Gyllenhaal deserves praise for taking such a bold risk with creativity, especially at a time when most studios play it safe. Even if the film doesn’t fully succeed, the attempt is admirable.
