Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe opening scene as shot was different from the opening scene that aired, but it had to be cut for timing reasons. Originally, the episode opens in Kira's quarters, with Kira and Jadzia Dax looking at Ziyal's paintings. Dax points out that Kira still misses Ziyal, to which Kira answers, "I'll get over it. Death and I are old friends." Dax then suggests that Kira bring Death to dinner. They get up and leave the room, and the scene then picks up in the corridor as seen in the finished episode.
- GoofsO'Brien calls Sisko into OPS because someone is attempting to beam into OPS, but no one prepares for this unknown and unauthorized person by having weapons ready.
- Quotes
[first lines]
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: What about Captain Boday?
Major Kira: Captain Boday? You want me to bring Captain Boday to your quarters for dinner?
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: It's just a suggestion.
Major Kira: Well, it's a bad suggestion! Number one, you used to go out with Captain Boday, number two, Worf hates him, and number three, and we've discussed this many times, Captain Boday has a transparent skull.
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: And you don't like to see a man's brains. -... - What about Doctor Trag'tok? He's intelligent, he has a good physique... and he has a very opaque cranium.
Major Kira: True. But his eye bothers me.
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Which one?
Major Kira: The middle one.

I am not a fan of this episode. I wouldn't describe it as badly made, but the placement of it after another romance-focused episode and the tension of the Dominion war arc is questionable and (to me) it adds nothing to Kira's development.
It is character-driven, about someone being coerced into doing something bad and the dilemma of whether they will see the light before it's too late. I think this is a decent premise, but for me, it moves too slowly and some of the dialogue is pretty flat. Philip Anglim makes the best of the material, but for me he cannot make the character engaging. He does not feel like the loveable rogue the other characters are making him out to be and this aspect feels quite forced. His dialogue near the end makes him seem defeatist and like he is being shepherd's crooked off the stage for the reset button to be pressed.
Kira carries the story in my opinion, thanks largely to Nana Visitor once again successfully switching between the two versions of the character. She provides virtually all of the entertainment (along with Worf in the double-date scene), regardless of how irritating it is to see such a cool character caught up in this arc.
