Political stability erodes under the threat of shape-shifting infiltrators.

Not as consistently good season three, but pretty good. They start out the season with more ambition than even the movies have: a full-scale battle with Klingons. The willingness to take the story in unexpected directions fizzles out, though. Some of the more interesting moves (like renegade Gul Dukat) are ignored as soon as they're set up. And the season finale, which is meant to end on a cliff-hanging twist, basically serves to point things back in the direction of status quo.

Political stability erodes under the threat of invasion.

Aaaaaand now it's better than The Next Generation. What the hell. There isn't a single bad episode all season, and a surprisingly large handful are great. I'm kind of glad I never gave this show a chance in the 90s - I get to watch it now like it's new (like Star Trek didn't die a slow, painful death over a decade ago), and I am excited to find out what happens next.
