Teaser
Doctor Julian Bashir treats Odo in the Deep Space 9 infirmary, still unable to make any significant progress in curing his sickness. He estimates Odo has one week, perhaps two, before dying. Odo persuades Kira to leave his bedside to accompany Damar back to Dominion space in order to help the Cardassian Liberation Front, for his sake as well as hers. Elim Garak reminds Kira that they need to leave quickly before the Dominion border patrols are changed. Odo appears to be in an advanced state o...
Act One
Later that evening, O'Brien stumbles across Bashir throwing darts in a closed Quark's; they are both restless. Bashir tells O'Brien that he, after thinking over the conspiracy to infect the Founders with the disease, has concluded that at least seventy-three people must have been involved in the plot; a fact that leaves a very bitter taste in his mouth. They concur that Section 31is an evil that's crawled its way into the heart of the Federation which must be destroyed. Bashir says that they...
Act Two
Bashir manages to stabilize Sloan's body, but the higher cortical functions in his brain will cease to function within the hour, so Bashir prepares a multitronic engrammatic interpreter to link minds with the dying Sloan. This will allow him to see information through Sloan's memories, though the memories could be anything from Sloan's past, including his childhood. O'Brien insists on accompanying the doctor on this potentially lethal travel through someone else's mind. Bashir explains to O'B...

Not the most pleasant devices, but very efficient." "They're also illegal in the Federation." "Oh, I hope you can appreciate the irony of thatstatement." 1. - Doctor Bash...
The Final Chapter
1. Ronald D. Moore's decision to bring regulars into the Cardassian Rebellion plot, which had been made during the composition of the episode "When It Rains...", had a serious knock-on effect for "Extreme Measures". For Moore, the most logical choice of characters to send to Cardassia was Kira and Garak. However, David Weddle and Bradley Thompson were already working on "Extreme Measures", which at that time involved Kira and Odo hunting for a cure to the morphogenic virus. It was suggested t...
"Extreme Measures"
1. According to the script, the working title of this episode was "Night Tremors". It also mentioned the Tilavan art theft. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion - A Series Guide and Script Library) 2. As explained above, this was originally written to be an Odo episode. Ronald D. Moore stated "Initially, our thought was to have Odo going into Luther Sloan's mind and having a surreal adventure where he eventually ran into Dr. Mora and learn that it was his own "father" who created the changel...

Oct 27, 2017 · Extreme Measures is built upon the idea of O’Brien and Bashir breaking into the brain of a high-level secret agent and trying to escape with some vital information. It should be absurd, it should be ridiculous, it should be outlandish. Instead, Extreme Measures just plods along the path of least resistance.
May 17, 1999 · Written by Bradley Thompson & David Weddle. Directed by Steve Posey. Review by Jamahl Epsicokhan. "I misread you. I thought you were just a misguided idealist. But you're a dangerous man. People like you would destroy the Federation if given a chance." — Sloan to Bashir. Nutshell: An unpleasant surprise.
Analysis: “Extreme Measures” doesn’t have a particularly original storyline and in many ways is reminiscent of the far-too-many virtual reality episodes we’ve seen in Star Trek over the...
