Stardate 50975.2: Rom and Leeta are set to be wed, but, aside from the wedding dress, they need one more thing: The Emissary to perform their ceremony. Captain Sisko agrees to do it. However, there may not be time as a fifth wave of Jem'Hadar ships enters the Alpha Quadrant bound for Cardassia. With the Dominion making their presence felt, the entire Quadrant has become a hot zone.

Episode Notes |
| |
This episode marks the beginning of the Dominion War. It also begins a seven-part story arc that culminates with the Season 6 episode "Sacrifice of Angels".
| Log Entries:
* Captain's Log, Stardate 50975.2 - The next Jem'Hadar convoy is due in five days, but our efforts to mine the wormhole have already provoked a response from the Dominion, who have sent their Vorta ambassador, Weyoun, to speak with me.
* Captain's Log, Supplemental - Bajor has signed the nonaggression pact with the Dominion. All Bajoran personnel have been ordered to evacuate the station. As someone once said, "These are the times that try men's souls."
| Sisko reminds Nog of the one hundred ninetieth Ferengi Rule of Acquisition: Hear all, trust nothing.

Episode Quotes |

Leeta: Captain, can we speak to you for a moment?
Rom: If...you're not too busy.
Sisko: Ah, go ahead.
Rom: Would you marry me? I mean...us? I mean...would you...perform...our...wedding ceremony?
Leeta: It would be a great honor to be married by the Emissary.
Rom: It's not for another two weeks so you'd have plenty of time to...get ready.
Sisko: (smiling) I guess I'll have to start brushing up on my Bajoran.
Rom: Me too.
| Odo: I've been thinking about asking you out...to dinner.
Kira: I've been expecting something like this.
Odo: I could tell. You've looked a little uncomfortable around me lately.
Kira: Well, you've looked a little uncomfortable yourself.
Odo: Which is why I wanted you to know I'm not going to do it. No dinner invitations, no flowers, no attempts at changing the nature of our relationship. Until the current crisis has passed, we both needs are minds to be clear. To be free of any unnecessary distractions.
Kira: Well, that's probably a good idea. So for now, all we need to concern ourselves with is deploying the minefield, maintaining station security, and preparing ourselves for a possible invasion.
Odo: Hmph. Well, I don't know about you, but I feel more comfortable already.
Kira: (gives a relieved sigh and smiles)
| Dax: Chief, I'm going to have to take evasive maneuvers.
O'Brien: If you do, you risk setting off every mine on this ship.
Dax: And if I don't, we may not have a ship left.

"These are the times that try men's souls": Thomas Paine
In his last log entry aboard Deep Space Nine before the Dominion attack, Sisko says, "As someone once said, 'These are the times that try men's souls.'" This is the first line from Thomas Pain's The American Crisis. Published on December 23rd, 1776, it was one of most influential treatise written for a call to arms for independence from the British. More information on The American Crisis can be found here.
| Dominion Fleet: Star Wars IV
The Dominion Fleet moving towards Deep Space Nine, with the focus by the camera on the lead ship as the camera moves from left to right past it, is similar to the new footage for Star Wars IV: A New Hope, which showed the Rebel Fleet, with a Rebel X-Wing in the foreground, moving towards the battle with the Death Star as the camera pans over it from left to right. The release of the movie with the new footage occurred four months prior to the premiere of "Call to Arms".
