It's amazing how O'Brien has improved the transporter technology on DS9 so that Sisko can fight the Klingons from both the station and the Defiant at the same time it seems. He's a miracle worker.
@@theOGofREDS even in humans, that sort of does happen... if nothing vital was hit, people continue fighting until they collapse from blood-loss or whatever other long term injury... people run with multiple broken bones in their feet, etc.
I think whoever edited this video had way too much fun gathering clips in bits and pieces from probably a dozen episodes :-) good job😊. The moral of the story is, none of the episodes were long enough to really show cool battle scenes😊
"Captain, the enemy ships are approaching fast! They are in range! Should we open fire with our base defenses that will obliterate dozens of them all at once?" "No, this is a double episode, we need to pad it out. Let them fly around and chase our only starship around the base while they do some damage. Then when we've received enough token casualties to make it look like a real struggle, let me make that confident general face and open fire!"
If the majority of the Klingon fleet concentrated their fire on one pylon until it was totally destroyed, 75% of the station's weapons would have been useless due to blind spots and what not. Then when a pylon goes, massive structural integrity for the rest of the station. It would need to put up extra shields just to hold back the crushing effects of space.
@@tilasole3252 I don't think they were hiding behind a blind spot of a station that can move. It's all for the dramatic effect. Clearly Sisko didn't give the command to fire till after the Defiant was flying around chasing a few birds of prey. Don't get me wrong, this is my favourite Star Trek franchise.
@@logon235 the station can not move in terms of keeping any pylon from being attacked from the entire fleet. When you attack a structure, you attack it's weakest link or you pick a spot and force it to be the weakest link. You may also attack from other sides to mask your true intentions, but this was just the Klingons firing at any available part of the station which was stupid. But had to be written this way because otherwise the station would have been destroyed or they would have had to surrender.
You ever use the restroom after a drunken Klingon who can't hold his bloodwine? Do you honestly think a warrior with the urge will wait patiently for you to give your customary final shake? Would true sons of kling hold any respect for the sanctity of Federation / Cardassian lavatories, or the effort O'Brien 's engineering staff put into .maintaining such a hybrid system? Trust that the Sisko knows best when he said "All weapon stations: fire at will." 🖖🏾
7:04 Leave it to Gowron to perform the digital version of a 1980's classic, slamming the phone down on someone🤣 Also that "you're the boss" line was hilarious🤣
Plot armour is strong, klingons, bred from birth to master combat, live it, breathe it, bested by women, and a ferengi bartender in hand to hand combat
Part of the craptastic military and combat scenes of Trek. So hilarious. I like how they stop shooting at groups of klingons to allow them to shoot back then start shooting again lol. Or how how the photos torpedoes don't even hit anything.......they just fly off into space. I mean we have better weapons now lol.
You have a women who has 300+ years of experience would have some martial arts/combat experience and the other woman spent her entire life fighting an oppressive regime. I pity the fools who fight against them.
Would have thought having some kind of body armour would have been developed by this stage to at least make taking a shot survivable in this show. Apparently its who fires first wins. The old west in space. Who knew it would make a comeback.
There was an episode of DS9 where some of the main characters were sent down to a planet to help defend some post or something (I know Bashir and Jake were there). In that episode, Starfleet personnel were wearing some type of body armor...but I can't recall which episode it was, only that Jake was a coward and cried like a wussy little baby.
It's fun seeing that even the Klingons have worse body armour than we do now as you would have thought that someone would have come up with at least a stab vest or similar by now.
Gowran was a great character, I loved how they paid off so many TNG characters on DS9. If anything it should get credit for fleshing out some amazing characters, though it had so many great moments of its own! I need to go back through DS9 now that I can truly appreciate the characters for what they were.
@@PhillipLemmon Dax is a Trill symbiont, they only bond with compatible Trill humanoids. The" old man" Sisko referred to was Dax in its previous host Curzon who was an old Trill humanoid host. Dax was never a Klingon.
I get how Dax would be formidable, given she was once Curzon. It seems a bit of stretch that Kira would so handily down so many Klingons, though she did end up getting stabbed.
wonderful cutted, and the idea to fly with a smaller starship to near at a greater ship, so they can't effective use their own weapons for defense it was given already in Battlestar Galactica (the old movies)
The BoP was nothing to laugh at in the right situation. This obviously however was not it. Maybe with numbers, or a surprise attack. But they also thought they were allies up until this point. And other than that, you still fight even if you have a weaker attack vehicle or ship.
I love how this video added scenes of the Cardassian attack on DS9 and the Enterprise shooting down a Klingon ship in a reality that no longer exists. Also Admiral Riker's Enterprise attacking the Klingons with a megaphaser and the Defiant attacking Klingons in an alternate reality. The original episode of DS9 was great! Leave it alone!
you call this an attack it's a Klingon induced nose bleed at best the time the Klingons really attacked the station had 40 times more ships attacking the station
Ah, that explains Sisko being on the bridge of the Defiant and in the command center of DS9. I thought maybe they'd spliced together scenes from the same episodes but out of order. Your explanation makes more sense.
It's always been a peeve of mine that these "Starships" all fly around shooting at each other like they're just big fighters. Battles between these ships should have been like engagements between CAPITAL ships of the second world war.
Not really. Don't want a common enemy to show up and unite the parties. Better to wait till they stand down after each loosing 80% of their fleets and armaments.
If I recall, Martok, the general beside Gowron, was actually a Changeling. Having the Federation and the Klingons at each other's throats was his doing and was going according to plan.
2:44 Why would Klingons beam aboard an enemy bridge to attack it with out having phasers drawn and ready to aim, the guy at the front? 3:33- 3:43 WHAT ??? Practiced from birth to be warriors with a batleth and taken down 2 in a row with bare hands, I would understand MAYBE a Jem'hadar genetically engineered for battle, 8472 or changeling doing this with such ease but not much else. Klingons were nerfed too much. You don't have to make enemies weaker to make the heroes look stronger. The plot armour is thick.
Why would you beam people with weapons on the enemy bridge if you could also beam a photon-torpedo on the bridge? It would end the story in a very fast and boring way. ;)
@@zvpunry1971 A photon torpedo would do too much damage and the klingons were trying to take the station, not destroy it. However, any boarding party would be ready to fire the moment they appeared and would likely lay down covering fire immediately regardless of seeing a target. They'd have whatever grenades klingons use. And what's to stop them from beaming in a couple piles of grenades first and then the boarding party?
It is so hilarious to see unarmed people (including women) resisting armoured Klingons with batleths and even knocking them out. ST is laden with plot armour, that's understood, but there should be a limit to that...
There’s quite a few Klingons who were knocked UC rather than killed during the attack on DS9. It would make tactical sense to check which Klingons are still alive and eliminate them.
The federation fought the klingons, the romulans and the cardassians with ships that were not strictly militaristic. After the Borg invasion and the Dominion War that changed. Now the power that fought wars with non purly warships started to make pure warships..... And Janeway brought back tech to the federation that could 1 shot a borg cube......
That stock footage tho!! xD I thought Sisko was bluffing... I remembered the refitting of DS9... ...but there was some other ST scene where they bluffed such a thing... ...not even sure it was DS9...but I think Worf was involved tho...anyone..??
You are thinking of the pilot episode :Emissary. A poorly equipped DS9 faces off against 3(?) Cardassian warships, and Kira tells O'Brien to shoot 6 torpedoes across their bow, because that was all they had.
The first wave of Klingons have disruptors when they beam in, the second wave just batleths ... what, did the run out of disruptors? And the defenders don't have any phasers ... ok, they ran out of power ... but there are probably 30 of 40 Klingon disruptors on the floor ... can't you use one of them? No - we have to go hand-to-hand or it's not fair .... ^^
The bridge scene, you just happen to have Worf, a well-practiced user of Klingon weapons, Dax who is a legendary Klingon hero and Sisko, he who has infinite plot armor.
Or save energy and just transport crucial bulkheads two feet to the left. Maybe beam some of those weapons arrays to their own ships. Anything but beam unsuited soldiers to a space station they are in the process of trying to destroy. You really need to suspend disbelief and ignore all the obvious winning strategies when watching star trek. Any star trek.
Taking down the shields doesn't just give them free reign to do whatever they want. There's still other defenses in place after that to keep crew members safe and I imagine there must be some transporter overrides on the station itself to prevent enemy ships from just beaming around willy nilly. The Klingons boarded to gain control of the station and probably try and disable all other defenses to get complete control
Or just all Klingon ships sustained shooting at once at bridge of ds9? Instead is flying around everywhere. Shields can't hold that long against that attack. But I enjoyed it.
