The Emissary’s prophecies.

In “The Reckoning,” Doctor Bashir said that if you look hard enough, you'll find a Bajoran prophecy for just about anything. The Ancient Texts, he feels, are a tangle of vague contradictions. But that's not everyone's view—certainly not if you are Major Kira or Kai Winn. The list of believers extended to include Captain Sisko in “Rapture,” when his discovery of the lost city of B'hala solidified his acceptance of his connection to the Prophets. The visions that led to the find also ended Bajor's impending entry into the Federation and almost cost Sisko his life.

In this episode of The Orb, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing discuss the events of “Rapture” as we explore the role of faith and spirituality in Deep Space Nine, Roddenberry's vision of the future and how religion has been portrayed throughout Star Trek, as well as how the story of Bajor, the Federation, and Sisko's journey balances the natural and supernatural to allow people with diverse backgrounds and beliefs to work together.
