Fun Stuff

Quotes:
Odo: Frankly, in my humble opinion, most of you humanoids spend far too much time on your respective mating rituals.
Sisko: It does help the procreation of one's species.
Odo: Procreation does not require changing how you smell or writing bad poetry or sacrificing various plants to serve as tokens of affection... in any event it's all irrelevant to me.

DS9 begins to Show its True Colors (though weakly) in this Soapy Detective Story, 2 February 2008
6/10
Author: mstomaso from Vulcan

Keiko, Miles O'brien's spouse, is having a difficult time adjusting to life on DS9, and Constable Odo appears to be having a difficult time adjusting to Federation hegemony. A merciless Bajoran smuggler who Odo tries to kick off the station turns up murdered in a room which has been locked from the inside and, understandably, Odo is the prime suspect. The episode is crucial to understanding Odo's relationships with Kira, Sisko, and Quark and introduces the show's standard approach to story arc multitasking which will be greatly elaborated in the later seasons. Odo - who really is a man alone - must learn to trust others to help him figure this one out and clear him of suspicion.

The two-story approach was not very well perfected in this episode, and some of the important developmental aspects of this episode (Keiko, Jake and Nog's parts) come across as a slightly annoying distraction from the more intense and interesting mystery story.

As usual, the cinematography and writing are all good.
