GhostofMajorHayes 10 Posted April 5, 2008 I gave this two parter a 4 rating. All around good trekking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youbroughtheryouRiker 2 Posted May 10, 2008 3. Loved the Odo aspect of it, felt the whole "test run" thing was a screw to the audience, aka "it was just a dream!" kind of ordeal, and I really hated that part. But I did like how the Jem'Hadar and the negotiations were actually able to stir emotions in me, the audience. If they had *JUST* written this one a little bit better, I could have really loved this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted May 8, 2011 I'll give it a 4, it was an interesting 2 parter and introduces the Defiant to the series but it wasn't one of the episodes (two actually) that I just want to see multiple times. I'll re-watch it when I'm going in order from start to finish but if I'm skipping around I usually skip over this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
