What a great episode. A moral dilemma about either saving 8,000 lives or getting back to their own lives. Boy that really made Odo look bad. But if they did choose to stay, wouldn't that have ruined their own timeline causing millions of other lives to cease to exist? Or would that just be one continuous loop where they keep going back and staying, etc... Sometimes time travel and time lines are a little confusing  |

To me it was a no brainer. Going back to their own lives was the right thing to do. It was 1 of many great episodes of this show. DS9 has always been my favorite post TOS show.

I can honestly say I like pretty much every episode in the series except maybe 1 or 2 of them. I am on my 2nd viewing. Before this I watched TNG for the 2nd time of my life and while I thought it was very good, I thought DS9 was far superior. But that's just my opinion. |

Or would that just be one continuous loop where they keep going back and staying, etc... Sometimes time travel and time lines are a little confusing There's no loop, the settlers were part of an "original" timeline that would have played out, ostensibly if the Defiant had never encountered them. They would have tried to leave only to get thrown back in time, giving way to their descendants. It's a grandfather paradox, but instead of killing your grandfather before your father is born, they simply don't become the proverbial grandfather. There is an unstable element to that though, because if the descendants cease to exist, the Defiant wouldn't meet them and end up going back in time. |
