    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Aron Eisenberg had some difficulty with this story considering that his role's teeth appliances interfered with pronouncing consonants in his dialogue, particularly in this case with the word, "stembolts." Considering that he was at most a recurring guest star at this time of the series' run, Eisenberg had a disconcertingly frustrating time with one scene which took over 19 takes before he could say his line properly, momentarily fueling his fear that he could be considered too difficult to continue in the role. Furthermore, when Eisenberg finally pronounced his line properly, Cirroc Lofton complicated matters by flubbing his own one word line in response because he didn't expect Eisenberg to say his own line well enough for the take to continue.
    • Goofs
      This is one of the episodes where Bajor is depicted as having several moons with apparently normal atmospheres and gravity. But if the moons were that large/dense/massive, they would not simply be orbiting Bajor. Bajor and the moons would be orbiting each other in a kind of cluster, which might have resulted in occasional collisions in the past.
    • Quotes

      Mullibok: You know, you look real good even from this angle. But you know something? You walk like a carnivorous rastipod.

      Major Kira: [unnerved] Now look...!

      [looks annoyed, but then starts smirking]

      Major Kira: You're trying to make me mad!

      Mullibok: How am I doing?

      Major Kira: Not well enough to get rid of me.

      Mullibok: Damn!

    7/10
    Reasonably good Kira episode
    Kira tries to remove a stubborn farmer from one of the Bajoran moons.

    This is a relatively enjoyable episode with some good development for Kira.

    If you have an interest in the mission you will likely enjoy this episode, but if the philosophising of an inflexible, pessimistic farmer isn't your cup of tea there will be little to take from this one.

    That being said, it is a good early character establishing episode for Kira as it portrays her struggling with the transition from her past life as a rebellious freedom fighter to being part of the established order.

    The scenes with Jake and Nog are fairly entertaining, and as we are shown (in a humorous way) more about the Ferengi aptitude for free enterprise.

    Nana Visitor is on top form as usual and Avery Brooks is also good.

    It's a 6.5/10 for me but I round upwards.
