"Things Past" is the 106th episode of the television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the eighth episode of the fifth season.
Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures on the space station Deep Space Nine near the planet Bajor, as Bajor recovers from a brutal, decades-long occupation by the imperialistic Cardassians. In this episode, DS9's captain Benjamin Sisko, security chief Odo and science officer Jadzia Dax, along with exiled Cardassian spy Garak, experience events that took place on Deep Space Nine during the Cardassian occupation, from the perspective of falsely-accused Bajoran prisoners.
"Things Past" received a Nielsen rating of 6.0 corresponding to 5,800,000 viewers, when it was shown on television in 1996.[1]
