DS9+17: 118: Dramatis Personae
This one was a little annoying to watch as everyone except Odo got mentalized by some alien “telepathic matrix” and started re-enacting some ancient mutiny. Basically, it was an excuse for them all to ham it up (persons of drama!) like there was no camera watching. BUT. On the bright side, they were hunting for dolemide at one point. I’m pretty sure this is just refined Dolemite. That shit is powerful. No wonder it almost caused the destruction of a Space Station!
- Morn stared on aghast as Kira threw Quark into a wall. Dude. She’s pretty strong. I mean, his head alone must way 20lbs.
- Having a complete non-humanoid around is incredibly handy.
- Cisco makes a clock while he’s possessed – I want to say I remember this turning up in later episodes. I hope it does, I love little things like that.
- Quark’s “clue” about Klingon weaponry had nothing to do with anything and was completely pointless - considering the Klingon crew members journals were about looking for a colony site and then finding the telepathic matrix on accident…. what?
- Dolemite!
- Is there anything that doesn’t kill people in the gamma quadrant? I’m just waiting for some good news to come through that stupid wormhole.
- Kira & Cisco tag-teamed the knowing smiles. His was a little creepy.
Everybody knows that everybody who goes into space gets possessed. Routinely and thoroughly.
Luckily they found Dolemite.
OK. They didn’t find it. But they were about to… and it would have torn shit UP! Or, just proved that these guys were terrorists… or something. Frankly, I don’t think they knew what they were dealing with.
