The Jem'Hadar attacks the Defiant whilst a miniaturised shuttle and it's crew helps with a hostage situation.
I enjoyed the concept that pays tribute to a classic sci-fi story of the 60s. For me the best scenes involve the visual moments of the shrunken crew. There is plenty of humorous banter that helps keep the tone quite light and enjoyable.
None of this helps the urgency of the situation involving the Jem'Hadar, as it all feels contrived to fit with the novelty of the shrunken crew. (As does the whole episode) In fact as antagonists they are made to look pretty incompetent at times. The concept of the alpha-gamma variants of the species is quite good, but should have been followed up with more significant material in later episodes.
The regular case are all on good form, particularly Colm Meaney and Alexander Siddig.
