Quotes
Doctor Bashir: I am aware that aging is part of the natural process of life; it's just that I don't wanna be reminded of it, that's all. And look, Garak - in two days I turn thirty. If I choose to be grumpy about it, that's my prerogative!
Garak: Oh, by all means, Doctor, be as grumpy as you like.
Doctor Bashir: Well, thank you for the support!

6/10

The build up to turning 30 is depressing, but when you get there it's fine

Dr Bashir is attacked and finds DS9 in a strange situation.

This is an okay episode with a decent performance from Alexander Siddig.

The start is excellent with a great opening exchange between Garak and Bashir, that is followed by a very promising set up of the 'what's going on' type of narrative where everything and everyone seems weirdly changed.

When the big reveal comes it is not too bad, but from then on (quite early) it goes downhill for me. I find the characters generally annoying and it seems a rather pointless way to explore aspects Bashir's backstory. His reflective mood on turning thirty is well portrayed though I must say. I was close to this level of early midlife crisis myself!

The actors do a good job with the material they have, especially Siddig who conveys a lot of feeling beneath makeup.
