Someone needs to smack Jake upside the head

I don't care for the Mirrror, Mirror episodes. I'm not a fan of this particular story line, and I wish they'd have done the one and that's it. Or not even the one, really.

As far as this episode, we open with Jennifer from the mirror universe showing up for some reason as yet undisclosed. Jake walks in on Sisko and Jennifer talking, and from then on becomes infatuated with his "not-mom."

So the idiot decides he "just has to see" the mirror universe and goes with Jennifer across, where naturally Sisko will follow. What the little creep doesn't know, is that they'll both die or become slaves if the Alliance manages to retake the station. He didn't bother to ask any questions apparently before jumping into his little "vacation."

And the entire episode, Jake continues to act like a jerk, and Sisko never once tells him off and explains to Jake just exactly what he got the two of them into by acting stupidly and irrationally. That pissed me off even more, that Sisko never once laid it all on the line and gave Jake the smack upside the head he really needed.
