I like episodes about Kai Winn. After all, she is incredibly evil, nasty and easy to hate. So, naturally I enjoyed "Shakaar" because it showed yet another side of this awful lady....and it was every bit as awful as I'd hoped!
The episode begins with Major Kira learning that the leader of the Bajoran council has died. If this isn't bad enough, Kai Winn has now taken his place!! And, since she is now the head of the government, the Major has to report directly to the Kai!! But to make things worse, she wants Kira to deal with a problem involving a friend, Shakaar. How can Kira remain loyal to her government, her people and her principles?
This is a pretty good episode--one I was about to give a 7 to until the ending--which earns it an 8. Like the best Kai Winn episodes, it features a nice twist at the end that make it worth seeing.
