Past Tense: Part II

Sisko takes a very active role in the history of Earth as he plays out the role of Gabriel Bell as Dax tries to convince people on the outside that they need to take a more active role in disputing the claims of the government, that they should stand up and be heard.

For Sisko, I think this really goes to his character… more so the character we will see, his passion for Bajor, his resistance to the Fontaine holo program in season seven. It was also a nice touch to show us the historical photo of Sisko as Gabriel Bell, something that’ll come up again in another episode.
