The story by series creators and executive producers Rick Berman and Michael Piller (with a teleplay by Ira Steven Behr) may be DS9's most explicit illustration of how this spinoff show worked hard at proving its legitimacy as a different kind of Star Trek while also connecting with the canon's established legacies. Yet the episode's focus, quite wisely, is on Sisko, who discovers (not for the last time) that the treacherous times in which he finds himself routinely claim old loyalties and shift alliances around in unexpected ways. Avery Brooks carries the ball here, though Marc Alaimo is wonderful in some of his earliest explorations of Dukat's multiple contradictions. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews of Star Trek - Deep Space Nine, Episode 41: The Maquis, Part 2
Quark teaches logic to a Vulcan and averts war Sisko now knows that his friend Cal Hudson (Bernie Casey) is fully entrenched as a member of the Maquis. If Hudson were any other man, Sisko would despise him for turning his back on Starfleet, but Sisko loves this man like a brother and desperately wants him to reconsider his actions and return to uniform before the Federation learns of what he has done. Hudson is pained at the situation that Sisko is in and even tries to persuade him in joining the Maquis. The two part ways after a battle makes the Maquis ship limp away - knowing that the next time they meet, they may be forced to kill one another. <

>Odo discovers Quark's dealings with the Vulcan Sakonna and he is thrown into the brig. Sisko tells Odo that Quark is to be incarcerated "forever." <

>Sisko begrudgingly works with Gul Dukat in trying to undermine the secret Cardassian dealings. The Cardassians are secretly funnelling weapons via a third party to the Maquis in an effort to escalate the fighting. As the fighting escalates, they can have an excuse to wipe out the colonist scum once and for all. These under-the-table dealings are being orchestrated by a small minority that could plunge the entire system into a bloody conflict. <

>When Sakonna is captured and placed in the brig with Quark, she receives a lesson in logic from the most unlikely of sources. Her course of rebellion against the Cardassians is logical, but Quark explains that peace can be bought at an all time low - if she does not act now, the price of peace will skyrocket. As she begins to absorb the logic behind Ferengi philosophy, she gains an incredible amount of respect for Quark as he convinces her to tell Sisko the Maquis' plans and location so a war can be averted. I was really hoping that the relationship between Quark and Sakonna would continue onto several episodes. The two of them married would have been a hoot. The whole dynamic of only mating once every 7 years would probably send Quark into a scheme to time travel. As Spock would say, the relationship would be "intriguing."
Sisko and Gul Dukat forced to work together to avert war
Calvin Hudson, the Federation attache to the colonists who is now a member of the Maquis, tries to convince Sisko that the Cardassians are supplying their colonists in the Demilitarized Zone with weapons. The Maquis have kidnapped Gul Dukat to learn more about these shipments, but the Cardassian claims he knows nothing about them. When Legate Parn, a high-ranking Cardassian official, visits DS9 the claims Dukat is indeed responsible for the weapons shipments and the Maquis can do with him what they like, Sisko becomes convinced Dukat is telling the truth. The enemy of your enemy is your friend, which means Sisko and Dukat end up working together, a fact that sticks in both of their craws throughout this episode. One of the more solid story arcs in the Deep Space Nine series is the continuing chess game Sisko and Dukat play out in episode after episode. This two-part DS9 episode ends much better than it starts, mainly because the larger conflict gets boiled down to the thoughts and efforts of the two opponents, Sisko and Dukat.
A stellar conclusion.
"Maquis 2" is an excellent, riveting, and down-right stellar episode, both in terms of concluding Part 1, and in being a dramatic success. Again, the story focuses wisely on Sisko, who is performed to perfection by the amazing Avery Brooks. Interesting issue's arise in this episode, but not in a such a way that they become overstated or preachy. The show mainly focuses on Sisko's conflict with his old friend Cal Hudson, which culminates in an exciting battle sequence. This puts the introduction of one of DS9's better on-going plots on a very personal issue. In a nutshell: an excellent character show, with wonderful drama, and a good set-up for many seasons to come. A must-see!
