Review : Dukat's back, but not quite up to some of his other episodes although Marc Alaimo is still very convincing. He and Nana Visitor always seem to balance each other very well, as do their characters. Not so sure about the plot, however, although I have heard similar ideas from Devil worshippers (God is really evil). There's not much point in trying to explain Dukat's actions, he's clearly gone half-mad, and the other half is still as evil as ever. Still, his actions at the end, the suicide cult and deciding to fake his own death, that was the same Dukat we've always known. Personally, I think that the Vedek should have tried to kill himself with Dukat's pill, thus proving Kira right when it doesn't work. Verdict, watchable enough. Incidentally, the cult can't have had many good engineers, they still haven't fixed Empok Nor's attitude control problems.

Review : Another episode I watched in horror, not able to believe how far they've pushed a spinoff to the gentle TNG. This is one of the darkest episodes - in light levels as well as content - and Dukat, if he wasn't already, has become irredeemably evil by this point, with no chance that the writers can "wimp out" and make him sympathetic again. As events unfold, through the birth and to the story's somehow inevitable conclusion, I felt a growing disgust at Dukat's actions and applaud the writers for this. As usual, Kira provides the perfect counterpoint to Dukat; I've always thought many elements of DS9's mythos came down to Dukat versus Kira, regardless that Sisko is the nominal hero of the series. It's a strong role for a woman to play in Trek, even today. While I will always love TNG for its comfort and ease of viewing, there are hardly any episodes of TNG that match DS9 at its best.
