What We Watched:



Overview:
Minerva Mirabal (Michelle Rodriguez) and her sisters are from a privileged, well-to-do family in the Dominican Republic.  But as their country sinks further into despair under the iron fist of Dictator Rafael Trujillo, the sisters unite, daring to stand up against the brutal leader of their beloved land.  As Trujillo's bloody reign spreads, Minerva and her sisters push harder against the dictator's heavy hand.  Despite all of their efforts, the vociferous trio is faced with a gruesome end, slain in a sugar cane field in 1960.

My Thoughts:Overall:  4/5

The Defiant crew land on a planet, where they meet descendents of themselves. As it turns out, they will catapulted back two hundred years when trying to leave the planet and crashland there.
Now they have deal with the dilemna that avoiding the accident which brings them back in time would result that the colony of 8000 people will never have existed.
A well executed episode which I always enjoyed.
