HRH The KING 0 Posted June 6, 2005 Hmmm, this is an episode that I really enjoyed...I wonder why? Written By Ronald D. Moore & Naren Shankar WOW, will you look at that!!!! :lol: No wonder I liked this episode so much. Two DS9 writers took this episode to a very high standard. FINALLY a decent episode featuring Wesley Crusher. See what happens when you make him fallible??? He becomes more endearing. Very good performances in this episode by Wil Wheaton and Robert McNeill, who as you all are aware would go onto play the charming and very likable Tom Paris in VOY, who was practically the same character he played here. A story of cover-ups and something sinister going on at Starfleet Academy. Excellent episode. I highly recommend you see it. Gold standard Rating = 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youbroughtheryouRiker 2 Posted January 30, 2008 5. In fact, they should have had McNeill keep the character name of Locarno in VOY. After being expelled from Starfleet Academy, he joined the Maquis, got caught and arrested, then got blown into the Delta Quadrant. Fits together. Anyway, good mystery story, and it unfolds well.
