In this episode Captain Sisko must walk the thin line between right and wrong again. But here it is very well done, very well written, acted and directed. Here the stakes are much higher and the moral transgressions less grave than in 'For the Uniform'. And the way it is told, by Sisko wrestling with his conscience about what he has done is brilliant. There is more emphasis here on the moral issues, which make them more obvious to everyone. That is probably why some may think this is not a typical Star Trek episode. But it is precisely because of Sisko's struggle with those issues that makes this one of Star Trek's finest episodes.
