Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA sequel to Statistical Probabilities (1997). Since the plotline revolves around Sarina, who was catatonic in the previous episode, the producers weren't sure if she could handle an episode where she must talk and carry a lot of the story. So they took the unusual step of having her audition for a part she had already played. According to the producers, "the role was hers to lose, but within seconds, we knew she was in."
- GoofsWhen Jack climbs over a table in the cargo bay and does a front-flip off of it, there is a quick cut and actor Tim Ransom is replaced by and obvious stunt double. In addition to the physical dissimilarities, when the scene cuts from the long shot (stunt double) to the close-up (Ransom), Jack's arms are suddenly crossed where they had been down by his sides.

Featured review
Why did they do a sequel to "Statistical Probabilities" in the first place?!
One of the poorer episodes of season 6 of "Star Trek: Deep Space 9" was "Statistical Probabilities"--a show featuring a group of genetically modified folks who were misfits and were forced to live in an institution because of their mental problems. Dr. Bashir became friends with these folk and the episode had MANY embarrassing moments because it was so poorly written. So imagine my surprise that they would do a follow-up--a follow-up that I assume many folks would NOT have looked forward to seeing.
In this new episode, Dr. Bashir is surprised when his misfit friends show up on the base unexpectedly and in Starfleet uniforms. No, they are NOT members of the fleet--they are just once again social misfits who think this is cute. It isn't. Anyway, once they're on the base, somehow Bashir gets the idea to do some medical procedure to Sarina to try to bring her out of her mute and somewhat catatonic state. It is a success and almost instantly Bashir is smitten by her and is making plans for their lives together.
This episode is embarrassing--as are most of Bashir's attempts to court women. The problems are that he has no real ability to engage in a normal manner with women--almost as if he has Asperger's Syndrome. He also has ZERO sense of ethics, as no responsible doctor would almost instantly begin hitting on their patient! Sarina's reaction to the ultra-creepy Doctor isn't at all surprising. And, it makes for a rather uncomfortable episode overall.
