~Crims~ 0 Posted November 30, 2003 (edited) I was sort of inpartial to this episode. It was ok, but was a little too TNG for my tastes. I prefer DS9 to be DS9. Edited November 30, 2003 by ~Crims~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted November 30, 2003 (edited) I loved this one! One of the amazing things about DS9 was how well they crafted so many early series episode's to have that "third season episode feel" to them, it truly felt like we had just been dropped into the middle of something that had been going on for sometime before we arrived on scene with Jake and Sisko. Know what I mean? Edited December 1, 2003 by Alterego Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Know what I mean? I do agree with that. The quality of the season 1 episodes were light years beyond what TNG was doing in their first season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Know what I mean? That is what I always liked about DS9. It was wonderful that season on top of season were not spent just giving background. Don't get me wrong I like learning the background of the characters, but DS9 mixed that in little by little without slowing down the seasons progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
