      Marritza: I am alive. I will always be alive! It's Marritza who's dead! Marritza, who was good for nothing but cowering under his bunk and weeping like a woman. Who every night covered his ears because he couldn't bear to hear the screaming... for mercy... of the Bajorans...

    Worthy of a movie. Worthy of an Oscar.
    This may have been the episode that made me a Deep Space Nine fan.

    Star Trek the Next Generation had always been on tv when I was growing up and my family watched it sometimes. Naturally I liked Star Trek TNG but when DS9 came around I didn't "get" it.... they're just on a weird space station 24/7 ??

    So now that I'm grown up, I'm very lucky that the reruns are currently still on (H&I network and others) fairly often. That's how I ended up catching this as a rerun.

    It's really true, that old concept about seeing the world as a child vs as an adult. Now that I'm older and a little bit wiser, I appreciate the story, the writing, the directing and the whole experience of a movie or a TV show -- and that's where this episode really shines.

    Many previous episodes of DS9 were spent trying to establish the plot or placate fans of the previous two versions of Star Trek. But this episode changed everything. Often times, Star Trek would make you think - and sometimes even re-think a social idea or concept. And they'r great episodes in many ways too. But this episode brings you in, twists the plot, ratchets up the tension, and in the end, genuinely makes you FEEL an emotion.

    This is powerful.

    I've seen this episode three times now and every time I see it, I get pulled into the moment, and when it's over, all I can help but say is "G*d d*mn" ... because you walk away feeling the weight of what happened.

    Between the writers, the cast and the directors, to say the least, this one hour episode of "scifi" transcended TV and reached deep into the soul - even if just for a moment- of those who actually stop and watch it. A rare accomplishment these days indeed.

    Bravo and well done, to all involved in this show. And thank you.
