This week, Miles and Julian learn about larping and friendship, Kira
learns about clay and the inevitability of authoritarian male
religious figures, and we learn about subtext and delightful character
development — all thanks to Jane Espenson, who, it turns out, is the
real hero of the episode.

This week, we discover to our surprise that there’s a lot to enjoy in
a flawed and ultimately unsuccessful episode episode of
Deep Space Nine — two wonderful guest actresses, some
(largely) cringe-free sexiness, and a mature and gentle romance.
Meanwhile, some TV writers imagine a just reward for their life of
constant backbreaking labour.

There’s a get-to-know-you buffet at 1930 this week, as the crew of the
Defiant team up with the Jem’Hadar to fight some Jem’Hadar
rebels who want to take over the Galaxy. And, surprisingly late in the
series, we get the first appearance of Jeffrey Combs as Weyoun.

This week, on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Quark wants Grilka,
Dax wants Worf, Nerys wants Miles, Worf wants Grilka, Miles wants
Nerys, Worf wants Dax, Odo wants Nerys (probably), and Julian wants
not to know any details about any of this. Meanwhile, Joe wants more
of this sort of thing, while Nathan just wants some special effects
and reflective surfaces, but will settle for a turbolift that goes up
and down without jerking.

It’s a soap-opera extravaganza on Deep Space Nine this week,
as Garak reconciles with his long-lost father, Dukat abandons his
long-lost daughter, and Julian discovers a scheming lookalike that he
never knew he had. Meanwhile, there is a shift in the balance of power
in the Quadrant, as the show rewrites its own premise in the way that
we have come to admire and enjoy.
