What the hell?, 30 October 2007

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
Eddington uses a biogenic weapon to render a Cardassian colony uninhabitable by Cardassians (some sort of chemical that's only harmful to Cardassians).
Captain Sisko later uses a biogenic weapon (trilithium resin), rendering a planet uninhabitable for 50 years...and there's no recourse? The planet was *inhabited* by Maquis at the time he fired two *quantum torpedoes* loaded with *biological warfare agent* at it.
This was all in the effort to rein in the ex-Lieutenant Commander Eddington, who apparently fancied himself Jean Valjean to Sisko's Inspector Javert...so Sisko decided to really play the "villain" in order that Eddington might sacrifice himself to stop the "evil maniac". But...Sisko actually nuked the planet.
Eddington gives himself up.
The end of the episode has Sisko and Dax returning to DS9. Here is their conversation:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sisko: "Captain's Log: Supplemental. Resettlement efforts in the DMZ are underway. The Cardassian and the Maquis colonists who were forced to abandon their homes will make new lives for themselves on the planets their counterparts evacuated. (Trilithium resin, apparently, does not negatively affect Cardassians...an assumption you are forced to make) The balance in the region has been restored...but the situation remains far from stable."
(Dax and Sisko step through the airlock) Odo: "Captain...Commander. Welcome home."
Sisko: "It's good to be back."
Odo: "I gather your trip was...productive?" (Eddington comes into view. Sisko and Eddington stare each other down.)
Sisko: (pointedly, to Odo) "Constable."
Odo: "This way." (Odo hauls Eddington away.)
Dax: "Benjamin, I'm curious. Your plan to poison the Maquis planet...you didn't clear it with Starfleet first, did you? (smirks)"
Sisko: (glibly) "I knew I'd forgotten to do something."
Dax: (still smirking) "Big gamble."
Sisko: "That's what it takes to be a good villain."
Dax: "You know, sometimes I like it when the bad guy wins."
(end credits)

What the hell? Who wrote this, a 15-year-old at the school cafeteria table?
