The Marquis is an integral storyline for Star Trek canon. Remember that this season corresponded with the last season of ST:TNG (Next Generation), and that is when the action is heated up with the Cardassians in the two series. It also leads to the launch of Star Trek: Voyager. About this episode: A great conclusion. This is one story that I'm glad had 2 parts. Just great Star Trek. There's space battles, aliens, Federation is on the brink of war, QUARK, and more. It's a must see if you are watching the series, or just browsing through the good episodes. Be sure to see Part 1 before seeing this. 4.7/5 Stars. ~Keep On Trekkin'
