Star Trek - Deep Space Nine, Episode 39: Blood Oath [VHS] Review
"Blood Oath" features another Dax-centered plot, this one trading on the way time plays tricks on those who befriend the symbiote and its host. This time, Jadzia Dax (Terry Farrell) encounters a trio of aging Klingons that the symbiote had befriended when it was in its previous host, Curzon Dax. Curzon had sworn a blood oath with the three Klingon generals that he would help them avenge a grievous loss; an enemy known as the Albino had killed the generals' families during a war decades before, then disappeared. But when the Klingons locate the Albino and come to DS9 looking for Dax, they are surprised to find a woman in Curzon's place--and it takes time for Jadzia to convince them that she should be allowed to fulfill Curzon's oath. She also must wrestle with the idea of hunting down and killing a man outside the arena of battle, which makes it a little too close to murder. Some enjoyable Klingon interplay and a nice Wild Bunch sort of ending, as the Klingons take on their final battle. --Marshall Fine
