DS9+17: 109: The Passenger
I guess I’d gotten so used to the idea of Quark as an almost-main cast member that I forgot he is (or was, at this point) a “bad guy”. He was willing to hire some guys to hijack a ship… hijacking frequently leads to hostage situations and/or loss of life, I would think. Also, Odo you kind of look like a dick here for not catching/busting Quark.
Oh, and random Starfleet security officer? I’m not sure why you needed to be in this episode, but I’m pretty sure we’ll never see you again.
So, on with the breakdown:
- Odo and Quark have another moment. I’m starting to get that this might be a “thing”.
- Bashir is like, a total dick, yo? Not only a lech, but way full of himself. Does he grow out of this? I forget.
- O’Brien is still on vacation? This seems weird for a show to have a cast member go awol for multiple episodes so early into its life.
- A time limit was introduced. OK, no, there were two. I just noticed that this is a regular thing. Going on the checklist/drinking game list!
- We’ve got a 2.5 way knowing smile with a handoff in the closing : Sisko to Dax & Bashir. CRAZY!
Oh, and some dude transferred his brain into Bashir and shot some guy and yawn.
[...] I suspect she’s going to be like that Starfleet security guy that turned up in two episodes (109 and 110) and then vanished. Except she probably won’t even make it to two [...]
