Customer Reviews of Star Trek - Deep Space Nine, Episode 120: Children of Time
After 200 years Odo finally tells Kira about his feelings The old paradox about going back in time and killing your grandfather which means you were never born and therefore could not go back in time and kill your grandfather is the key idea behind "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," Episode 120, "Children of Time" (Written by Gary Holland and Ethan H. Calk, Aired May 5, 1997). The "Defiant" is investigating a planet surrounded by an energy barrier in the Gamma Quadrant, when the ship is crippled and Kira gets duplicated for a moment. Without medical attention back at DS9 she is going to die. However, on the planet they find a colony led by Miranda O'Brien, who tells them that in two days when the "Defiant" tries to departs, the barrier will cause the ship to crash on the planet 200 years in the past. This colony was founded by the crew of the "Defiant" after Kira died and they became resigned to their fate. Sisko is convinced that since they know what is going to happen, this time they will be able to escape; but that means the colony will not longer exist. Yedrin, a descendant of Dax, has a plan to duplicate the "Defiant" when it enter the barrier; that way the crew can go home and the colony will be preserved when the other "Defiant" crashes.
Now, that is a pretty good plot line and a nice "Star Trek" time travel paradox, and whatever decision Sisko makes you know he is going to have second thoughts. So there is another one of those passionate debates that Sisko seems to thrive on. But the pivotal moment in "Children of Time" comes when Odo, still alive after 200 years and looking more human than ever, tells Kira something he never got to tell her when she was alive. If you thought that the war between the Dominion was a long time in coming, that is nothing compared to the Constable's unrequited love for the Major. Good thing there is a war going on back home on DS9, because Odo is going to have some 'splanin' to do when he gets back. This is a pretty good "Star Trek" time travel episode on the basis of just the situation facing the crew, but with the Odo-Kira bit thrown in it becomes something special. More importantly, there are clearly some elements here that are going to be continued.
Children of Time
This is definitely one of the finest DS-9 episodes - and there are a LOT of DS-9 episodes to choose from that were wonderful. This episode was beautifully written, poignantly directed, and features superb performances by Nana Visitor and Rene Auberjonois. The ending is surprising, effective, and heart-breaking, all at the same time. If you are a DS-9 fan, this episode belongs in your collection.
One of DS9's Finest Episodes
I'll spare you another synopsis (you can just read the ones below). But it's a wonderful episode...to me, it is on my list of the Top 5. For those of you who love Odo & Kira the way I do, this episode is a biggie--it directs their "close" friendship to a certain path. The ending is shocking...but it leaves a huge mark. If you loved watching them in "Crossfire," then you want to see this one!
