I don't even know why, but I think this is my favourite episode of pre-war Deep Space Nine. Perhaps it's the way they managed to pack quite a lot of story into one episode - the anti-revolt programme, Dukat's efforts to take advantage of the situation, the skill and talent of Chief O'Brien... More than that, though, is the sense of unreality to the whole thing. The actors do a superb job of conveying the emotion of watching a place you knew and thought of as home turn into a lethal death trap. The look on Dukat's face, even through the makeup, as he watches his old superior condemn him, is actually sad to watch. In conclusion, this episode shows us the grace-under-fire that became the hallmark of the DS9 crew. |

I love this episode. The writing is great, the performances excellent, and we have enough action taking place in various areas of the station to make for a fine episode without compromising character development- or humour... if onlu DS9 had had more stories like ths... |

Although most of the story was actually nice, and it certainly was an enjoyable episode, the only thing I was thinking throughout alost the entire episode was, why not use the runabout transporters. The station transporters may not work, but those of Gul Dukat's ship sure did when he beamed in. All they had to do was have someone contact a runabout after communications were back up et voilą. For that matter, send Mr. Garak that way, he could get there. Problem solved. Story and such: 5. Gaping hole in the logic: 0 |
