    • Goofs
      In the previous entry Babel (1993), Quark was trying to use the computer to locate the functioning replicators, but the computer's security prevented him from doing so until he changed some data rods, in effect, hacking into the computer. Yet now, when Tosk asks the computer where the weapons are stored, the computer shows him without any resistance whatsoever. It would seem the location of the stations weapons would be much more security sensitive than the food replicators.
    • Quotes

      Tosk: [on holosuite programs] I have no use for fantasy adventure. I live the greatest adventure one could ever desire.

    The Most Dangerous Game
    Here is a slightly new twist on the continuing idea that there are alien races that hunt others for sport. A being, a Tosk, has had his ship disabled and is brought into the space station. He is secretive and while he develops a relationship with O'Brien, he doesn't reveal his role. What happens seems cruel to reasonable beings. But there are options. Miles does a good job of balancing the Prime Directive and the realities of the situation. This basic plot will be reprised in Star Trek: Voyager.
