"Children of Time" is a very, very good episode of "Star Trek: Deep Space 9". It begins with the Defiant getting stuck on a distant planet. However, the folks that greet them are a HUGE surprise-- they are descendants of the crew of the Defiant! Huh? Well, it seems that when the ship will try to leave the planet, it will be knocked back in time and crash--and the people they are talking to now are their descendants! It's confusing, I know, but far weirder time accidents have happened on the show. The problem is this--if they go back some other way, the nice people and wonderful civilization they've encountered here will be undone--and will never come to exist. What actually happens to end this episode just blew my mind and it concerns Odo.
This episode sure did a lot to further the progression of the relationship between Odo and Kira. Because of that, it's very important and a must-see. It's also a terrific episode regardless.
