Since I did next week last week, how about this week?

Wait, that's not a real Kevin James movie?

Yup. You need Inquisition for Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges, and Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges is awesome, because Sloan and Section 31 are uniquely interesting concepts on DS9 that struggle every other time they're brought up (See Section 31 on Enterprise, Into Darkness, the current comics, etc.)

To be fair though, is there any other episode after that one that anyone would argue for a single episode focus? So far it's been Duet, The Visitor, and Far Beyond the Stars that got the deliberate focus. There's not another of that caliber after next week left.

Needs more TUSK! Still better than the Emmys though.

Which, in turn, is one reason why Counterpoint is one of the rare good episodes for Janeway and Voyager. It's the one time they let her have a relationship that's adult and intelligent rather than pointless holo-romance novely.

Wrongs is also a very interesting followup to Waltz, because after an episode of Dukat talking about how he arrived on DS9 as an early reformer, we see him arriving on Terok Nor with his ‘enlightened Cardassian ideals’ even as he’s, you know, authorizing essentially sex slaves for himself and his men. Of course, Dukat…

Some SPOILERS in there, but I mostly agree. Spock's death was perfect but impermanent, and the rest are generally pretty mediocre. I wonder if part of it is the way the shows are built, around episodes of the week and ensemble casts who want to keep cashing paychecks, rather than any kind of unified creative vision…

DUDE SPOILERS.

I haaaaaaaaate NuDisqus. What's with "Comments Awaiting Moderation"? Three of my comments have disappeared into that ether even as the rest keep popping up.

Eh. It becomes a running bit for the rest of the show, in the vein of them fighting the Battle of Britain or their other holo-fights over the years, though it does have great symbolism for one episode. It just always amuses me that it shows up for the first time in something that's otherwise a completely dark, morally…

"They've pushed me too far, Benjamin. They took all my good intentions and turned them into something ugly… made me into something ugly… and now they're going to pay for it. They thought I was their enemy? They don't know what it is to be my enemy. But they will. From this day forward, Bajor is annoyed. All of Bajor.…

Side note: Wrongs Darker than Death or Night is the first mention of the Battle of the Alamo for O'Brien and Bashir.

Or, sadly, FRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKES.

The first thing Dukat does after deciding he's dedicated to the end of all Bajoran is call up and troll Kira with "BTW, I fucked your mom!" He's got issues. Glorious issues.

The problem with Change of Heart is everything feels small, and not in a good way. It's just a whimper.
