A really strong episode, maybe the strongest so far. This dude (Harris Yulin, some guy I’ve never heard of that looks like a vet single episode actor) gives a great performance as a captured Cardassian. Beyond that, I won’t say what happens. It’s not quite as predictable as these things usually are. The ending kind [...]

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 [...]

This was a pretty well done episode in general. We meet another Gamma quadrant lifeform – this one a digital “puppy” that now lives in the computer system. I wonder if they’ll ever come back to that? I hope so. Lots of possibilities there. Diana Troy’s mom pops up, and hits on Odo and they [...]

Another split-plot episode. A-plot: Kira talking to some old man with lots of stories about relocating him, some kind of like thing with the value of one’s home and relocation and stuff. And Kira learns a lesson. CUT! Also, people don’t know how to set phasers for stun and almost accidentally kill old men. And [...]

OK, the B-plot here was the dumbest plot so far. I’m not even gonna go into it, other than to say that it was really dumb. The A-plot involved a young Bajoran girl thrust into a leadership position via the death of her parents, and now she’s stuck trying to negotiate with her group’s Hatfield [...]

This one went by pretty quick, probably because I was playing a game while watching it :). So, Kai Opaka, the Bajoran (why do I always want to spell it “Bjoran”?) Pope type deal (but female, and they apparently only have 1 major religion) wants to visit DS9. Cool. Then she wants to take a [...]

In which we encounter a 3rd gamma quadrant species, which is also incredibly douchey, and saves us from having to interact with them again (or the writers having to write them again) by “knowing all about” DS9 and the wormhole & having no desire to interact with them. A brief recap: species 1: hunts sentients [...]

Wow, this episode was really annoying. Don’t you hate it when some alien race does something totally douchey that makes you fear for your life and think all your friends are dead? But then they just get to walk away from it because it’s a new species and a misunderstanding and uh, you don’t have [...]

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 [...]

First off, I just wanted to say how amused I am that I am (bothering to) blogviewramble about a TV show almost 2 decades old. I suppose it’s even more amusing (to me! I don’t care what you do in your spare time. Unless it’s sick and wrong then you should probably stop and turn [...]
