User Reviews

Brilliant

People will claim this episode is stupid and totally out of place in DS9, I don't care, it is an immensely fun episode. I love the fact that it is a parody of 'The Magnificent Seven' Western movie and it is a great adaption of the original. Every series can benefit from the odd comedic episode, and this is a great example.
