I know many other seasoned Star Trek fans out there have probably experienced this one many times before. But I just watched this episode for the first time and the writing, acting and story just blew me away. So far it is by far one of my favourite scenes and episodes of the series so far. The dialogue between Bashir and Garak at end the of the episode is a classic.

I don’t like giving too many details … all you Star Trek pros already know what this episode leads up to. For those who don’t, or haven’t watched it yet, it is completely amazing episode to watch just for the writing and acting alone.

This is the first time I’ve been able to watch DS9 from beginning to end and although I’m still in Season Two, I’m completely loving it. So much of the conflict and complexities of war and its aftermath are still very relevant today and its amazing to see. Then they give you a breath outside of the politics and give you interactions like this with Garak and Bashir and I find it completely enthralling.

I know this may be kind of a fan favourite that’s probably been stated many times before … I was just so happy to see it that I had to share my enthusiasm.

    Enterprise is the next series on my list but I think it will be a while before I get there.

    It was probably me that shared that video because I had just recently discovered the cartoonist and his Youtube Channel … Steve Cutts is a genius as far as I’m concerned because he really does describe our civilization in the greatest ways … he holds a mirror that we should all look at and think long and hard about what we see.

    MAN

    His Youtube channel and his work is full of great content

      Welp, thanks for the new source of content! In such a succinct short are we put on display. Also, he’s clearly fond of Idiocracy and how increasingly prescient it may be.
