    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Although the storyline addresses the ongoing war with the Dominion, it is the last stand-alone story of the DS9 series. Every episode until the finale is one long story arc.
    • Goofs
      In the last external view of the USS Bellerophon, the designation NCC-74656 can be seen on the hull. NCC-74656 is the designation for the title ship from Star Trek: Voyager (1995), from which the stock footage came.
    • Quotes

      Sloan: Federation needs men like you, Doctor - men of conscience, men of principle, men who can sleep at night. You're also the reason Section 31 exists. Someone has to protect men like you from a universe that doesn't share your sense of right and wrong.

    Middling Spycraft
    DS9 struggles with weighty, and here they fail once again. The story is melodramatic in the extreme, and unfortunately Dr. Bashir is just not the right character for this. He's too goofy, too simple in his "moral sensibilities," not that he believes in right too much, or doing the moral thing too much, but rather that he comprehends these notions simplistically, again, melodramatically.

    And of course the actor is playing it so bombastically that he's nearly making it camp. I can see how some people would like it if they really like the show, but it's middling without grading on a curve.
