Earl Grey 120: Rebel Without a Clause

Cardassian/Maquis Conflict.

The Next Generation often introduced "aliens of the week" that
may be referenced one or two more times before being forgotten
about entirely. The episode "The Wounded" introduced a strange,
new alien species, the Cardassians, who apparently were at war
with the Federation for a significant amount of time. A
controversial peace treaty finally brought peace between the two
powers, leading to an uneasy alliance. However, the price of that
peace was unhappy Federation colonists ("Journey's End") that
would eventually lead to the rise of the Maquis ("Preemptive
Strike").

Phillip, Daniel, and Darren discuss Next Gen's culmination of a
story line that would be developed by Deep Space Nine ("The
Maquis, Parts 1 and 2") and serve, essentially, as springboards
for both the creation of DS9 and Voyager. From the origins of the
memorable Bloody, Bloody Cardassian War to the political turmoil
of the Demilitarized Zone to raiders attacking Federation and
Cardassian targets - the Maquis storyline certainly showed that
it was not all one "happy, shiny, perfect Federation" in TNG.
Join Earl Grey as they tackle this ever-present storyline of the
Cardassian-Maquis conflict.
