Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Equilibrium (1994)
Season 3, Episode 4
7/10
More good than bad, but some wasted opportunities

Jadzia experiences strange emotions and hallucinations.

This is a decent episode with some good visuals and strong performances.

The story contains a great idea for a mystery and it starts off very well, particularly with Jadzia's out of character behaviour and the hallucinations, which are nicely designed. However, as the plot progresses it becomes less cinematic and more geared towards characters' verbal explanations.

I'm not sure the medical drama works given that we always know know Jadzia is going to be okay. It might have been better for her character to lead the story rather than Sisko and Bashir. I think if she had to unlock the mystery and contend with the psychological issues it would have been really good.

Terry Farrell, Avery Brooks and Alexander Siddig are all on great form.

For me it's a 6.5/10 but I round upwards.
