10 Best Foreshadowing Moments In Star Trek

10. Synaptic Potential

All of Benjamin Sisko's life was foreshadowed. Let's not get ahead of ourselves, however. Struck by yet another addition to Quark's rap sheet in Rapture, the Emissary's synapses showed future potentials. 

Behold, B'hala, and let's get biblical! Before the rivers and the waters of the Alpha Quadrant ran red, there were the locusts, "billions of them," heading towards Cardassia. Zocal's Third Prophecy proved accurate. Sisko's pagh'tem'fars were far from farfetched. 

"The coming war with the Dominion"? The writers had a plan.

"Here we actually did know what we were doing," writer/producer René Echevarria noted in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion. "[Through the locusts], the Prophets are telling the Bajorans, 'Don't join the Federation, because if you do you will be embroiled in this war." The prophecy was fulfilled and all-out war with the Dominion began at the end of the same season in Call To Arms.
