Review : We get a chance to see Odo in horrible shape for the first time. Also, Lwaxana Troi makes an unforgettable appearance! Odo and Lwaxana's relationship is priceless and something that should have been brought up again. Overall, a wonderful episode!

Review : I never particularly cared for Lwaxana; she reminds me of a banana cream pie in the face at a funeral. However, I think that the thing that really bothers me about this episode is the same thing that bothers me in all episodes involving technology failures: the "forgetfulness" of redundant systems. DS9 is equipped with several runabouts, each a standalone vessel complete with systems that are independent of the mother ship. The instant they realized the station's transporters are down, either Dax or O'Brien should have immediately went to a runabout and beam Odo and the Daughter of the Fifth House of Tacky out that way! This is probably the most enduring Trek Inconsistency: The transporters go down, or the vessel loses power, and that's it. The remaining hour is spent trying to get everything back up and running. Runabouts have warp drive; why can't they be used to re-power the host vessel, like using running jumper cables from a live battery in a car to a dead battery in another? Oh well. I suppose the real reason is because the 30 second solution makes for good television not. Maybe there could have been a line about how Starfleet and Cardassian technology are incompatible, or something. This at least make about as much sense as Star Trek usually does.
