[DS9] Season 3, Episode 11: Past Tense Pt. 1
Rating: 3
This episode is mostly stage setting, establishing the interesting segment of Earth “history” the characters are dropped in. Most of the real plot doesn’t kick in until the next episode, but that isn’t enough of a problem to knock this one down from a 3.

Notes:
The transporter path goes through some time warp thing and Sisko, Dax and Bashir are transported to the year 2024
For some reason I can accept that they were transported to the past, but I can’t accept that the transporter put them to sleep
In this time period homeless people are grouped together in “Sanctuary Districts” where they have rough living conditions and basically no chance of getting the help they need
Dax gets to hang out with rich people
Bashir and Sisko have to fill out paper work and wait in lines
They accidentally get a major historical figure killed. He happens to be the stunt double for Sisko
O’Brien tries to call the federation but they don’t exist! History has been changed! But there’s some kind of bubble around the Defiant making it so it wasn’t changed whatever
Then Sisko pretends to be the historical figure, even though that means he has to sacrifice his life
