The Review
All right... It's an interesting show, seriously. I am not going to be close-minded and give a bad review just because I didn't like it...but...I didn't like it. I am sure that this episode is crucial, but I really did not like it.

First, let's look at the Bajoran followers themselves. It's so obvious they are being manipulated. Mika's child, for example, the half-Cardassian, is so abruptly obvious I have to struggle not to scream. What kind of people would allow themselves to not see the truth? And then her "accident" in the airlock only continues to supply fuel for the obvious about Dukat. DS9 has always played the Bajoran people as the innocent and naive. I'm tired of it.

Dukat is the changing man. It would seem he has a different weekly motive. That frankly sickens me. It strikes me as a Star Trek cartoon. Where else but in cartoons is the villain trying something new every week? It's old, it's done. The writers need to decide exactly what they want to do with this character, and then stop fooling around.

So where do we go from here? I hope it get's better, atleast more entertaining.
