Season two of Deep Space Nine starts off well for the viewer but not so well for non Bajorans on the station when a group of ultra nationalists known as The Circle start activities on board. At first it is just acts of vandalism; painting their logo on a wall but later the escalate their activities and brand Quark with their logo. Around the same time The Circle's activities start Major Kira learns that a Bajoran war hero Li Nalas, who was presumed dead, is in fact still captive on Cardassia Four despite Cardassian assurances that all prisoners have been released. Kira goes to rescue him along with Chief O'Brien, they have a little trouble with the Cardassians but manage to rescue Li Nalas. Once back on the station he is not ready for his fame and confides in Sisko that his fame is based on an event which wasn't half as heroic as his supporters believe. Sisko tries to persuade him that sometimes the myth is more important than the truth... this leads to Li Nalas getting an appointment that could have major implications for a member of the DS9 crew.
This was a good season opener with good action scenes on Cardassia Four even if the planet was of the standard Californian desert variety. There was some nice humour too, Li Nalas's tale of how me killed an under-dressed senior Cardassian was both plausible and very funny. At the end we are left with a nice "to be continued" ending.
