I don’t know why people hate this episode so much.
It’s a little cheesy, but who cares? So are dozens of episodes people love
Personally, I find the main alien characters highly annoying and the little girl singing the song over and over again even more so. And that’s before we get into the “none of this actually mattered because there were no actual consequences” ending.
Edit: Not to mention, the exact same “this was all a game and there were no consequences” ending was done so much better in Shore Leave where Kirk still grew as a person despite the fact that he was never in any real danger.
To me, that doesn’t matter as much because the characters weren’t aware of that. Sure if it happened every other episode I’d be annoyed - it’s like the “it was all a dream” trope ending, in a way. But I don’t have issue with it if used sparingly.
I think it was also useful in terms of showing, early on, that Quark does care about people over profit, and signals to the viewer that he is very much a redeemable character, and will have character growth in the future.
Overall I view it as a silly but kinda enjoyable episode. I certainly understand why people wouldn’t like it, but I’ve never really understood why some hate it.
I don’t hate it, but it’s an episode I’d be fine to skip if I did a repeat viewing of DS9.
Fair
I’ve never met anyone who hates this episode. it’s one of my favorites
I’ve seen a lot of hate for it, although entirely online
Some people aren’t into cheesy stuff
Yeah but there’s a lot of cheesy Trek
