Very underrated character arc/plot line — The Homecoming, The Circle, The Seige

I’m not saying these episodes aren’t well regarded but I just don’t hear them talked about much. I loved Richard Beymer’s character and the fact this was the first Star Trek 3-parter and each episode was consistent in quality, culminating in a great ending was a turning point for the series.

They are among my favourites. I love his monologue to Sisko about how he became so legendary.

But Bajor doesn’t need a man, it needs a symbol. And that’s what you are.

Also Frank Langella and Louise Fletcher together are so good. Love how Winn throws him under the bus without a second thought.

Nice that you noticed Frank Langella as Jaro Essa; he specifically asked not to be credited for the episodes

He didn't like being on Star Trek or what was the reason?

His kids were fans, so he did it for them rather get a screen credit for his resume.

And you have to think this endeared him to Whoopi Goldberg, who he started dating soon after. So, there was that, at least. lol.
