    • 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.

    10/10
    Great premise
    I really like this episode especially watching it a second time, knowing what Task knew. There is a little bit vilifying Hunters per usual in the Star Trek universe. I wish we had replicators, until then hunting is the most ethical way to get your meat. I'm not a hunter I have alpha-gal. back to the episode I think it was really great one of those that makes your mind work, and you might be thinking about it when you're trying to go to bed tonight. Love Star Trek love the way it makes you think.
