Aha, the typical DS9 stinker. I think Graham's a bit harsh on it with his 0 rating, but not far from the truth. It's not bad or awful, just boring. The story doesn't go anywhere, the writing's not convincing, it's just DS9 going through the motions. The easily-played token mad scientist doesn't even come off well. Not necessarily one to avoid, but hardly great entertainment. |

Awful episode. The basic premise of the story is mediocre at best, and the production does not improve on it in the slightest. The 'twist' at the end, such as it is, is ineffective and downright stupid, and the scientist comitting suicide is as believable as a lieutenant being in command of a Nebula class starship in a time of peace. Nit: Sisko gives the stardate as 47329.4 and says it is the 4th anniversary of Wolf 359. Eh? The Battle of Wolf 359 occured on and around stardate 44001 (Best of Both Worlds, Pt II). Therefore, not only is the anniversary four months late, it's a year ahead. Stardate 47001 would be the THIRD anniversary of the battle, not the fourth. |
