This is a great episode in my opinion. It definitely has it's flaws as do most ST episodes but we don't watch this show for flawless execution, it's because we love the world and the characters. Here we get to see more of what DS9 was like when it was Terok Nor, the Cardassian orbital ore refinery, and also get to know a bit more about Odo's history, which I always love because personally he's probably my favourite character.
As a totally nerdy aside, the whole orbital refinery thing makes no sense whatsoever, because it's far more efficient to refine the ore on the planets surface then ship it off, and not have to lift up all the waste rock and whatnot...
Anyways, a very intriguing episode and well written. Worth watching for sure.
