Woah woah woah! We have our first properly good ep of ds9!
Rene absolutely carries it, but it's got actual intrigue and substance. Quark gets used for story and not just bad comic relief, Sisko has to toe the line between starfleet ideals and underbelly reality and the guest star can act. Firing on all cylinders.
Some really, really good space shots for the time, too.
Odo was maybe a little too quick to break the rules for a stuffy security officer, but his motivation to do so is sound and well explored in the episode.
This presents some exciting questions for the series to continue to answer.
Great episode.
