Well, it's music to my ears.

It is a rare thing to actually emotionally move me. The performances, the dialogue, the beautiful idea behind the act of self sacrifice by Maritza pretending to be Gul Dar Heel all hit that perfect harmony.

This season suprised me with how serialized it actually was. Kira's been on a journey of self discovery about confronting the darker side of her history and then this episode happens. Up until this point the Cardassians have manage to overtake Romulans as the biggest jerks in galactic history and it was nice to see a sympathetic Cardassian character with depth.

Haris Yulan gets credit and it is well deserved for a great performance. I want to single out Nana Vistor as also being worthy of praise in terms of giving 100 percent every episode she is in. She's one of those actors that you can sometimes forget is putting on a masterful performance because the character just seems so natural in the show (Data in Next Gen as an example). Have no fear Nana --- I am appreciating your performance. Love ya.

Random thoughts:

Sisko ------ He's such a good guy team player. Bending the rules because he knows how important this 'justice' is for Kira.

Odo ------ Continues to impress with his ability to reason out a mystery.
