Civil Defense: Who gave Garak root access? Good Quodo content. Redshirt vape. Dukat hoist by his own petard. Garak and Dukat being petty bitches to each other. A good antagonist is a delightful thing. Flirting by threats of mass deaths. Elevating the stakes.

Meridian: I guess the writers just watched Brigadoon? O'Brien suffers level: Third Wheel. Surprisingly, the Dax plotline is NOT the horniest.

S3E5: Second Skin S3E6: The Abandoned

Second Skin: Sisko bullies Garak. Cardassians seem to have very good cosmetic surgery for a lizard species. The Cardassian Sleeper Agent program is weird. Cardassians use unlabeled data crystals. Cardassia has much more depth to it than normal "enemy" cultures, or even most non-Earth cultures.

The Abandoned: Justen loves a hot pirate lady. Odo now has a room for his bucket. 16-20 is not an age gap that we feel great about but it's... okay for some reasons we lay out. Sisko and Miles dadding is great. The concept of the nature/nurture thing is good, but the end result strays real close to "crack baby". The fact that Odo is willing to throw his entire life away to save one orphan is great, and it's run over by the actual plot.

S3E3: House of Quark S3E4: Equilibrium

House of Quark:

Possibly the most BabPod episode in the history of Star Trek. It's not Miles and Keiko's fault that they were written in the 90s; it's otherwise a great example of a real marriage. Gowron caught the car and is now suffering. Klingon-Federation Enemies to Lovers Arc. We are in the Ronald Moore era of Trek and it shows.

Equilibrium:

w o r m. Jude loves captains cooking for their people. The Trill situation is sketchy as fuck. A long side conversation about Star Trek books. Bashir and Dax finally feel like buddies rather than horny dork. Jude torments Justen about Bashir's underwear. Sisko treats the Prime Directive like he treats Quark.
