Excellent point. And it plays in nicely to Lwaxana's comment at the end of the hour as to why she's leaving.

It can be fantastically lonely to be in love with someone who doesn't share your feelings. I think the line works fine—Lwaxana allowed Odo to be vulnerable in a way he isn't with anyone else on the station, and that's special.

The difficulty in writing Mirror Universe episode reviews is that the problems are almost always the same—which means I'm sure I'm repeating myself a lot at this point. (Thankfully, they're spaced well enough apart that no one complains.)

Spoilers for the fact that

Sigh.

I thought so to, but we were both thinking of a different episode: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik…

From my side of the computer screen, I am also a fan of this.

The Langoliers is a Twilight Zone episode stretched out to novella length, for better and worse.

It's possible, but the problems with the episode run deeper than a lack of fantasy element. After all, "Two" is light sci-fi at best—it's essentially just two people deciding not to kill each other, and then maybe falling in love a little. And it's fantastic. "The Arrival" is a mess because the ending is a cop out,…

I had no idea it was Montgomery until I checked the cast list, and even the name didn't register until I looked her up. She's really great in this, too. (And, just to be heretical, I think she looks better as a brunette.)

I was hoping for an episode that would give me something interesting to talk about. As a viewer, I'm much happier with the episode I got. Duuuuuuh.

Given that O'Brien had given Jake some engineering training, I don't think that was _that_ big of a stretch. And the Dax scene was fine. It's actually useful to have characters pop in briefly like that; helps maintain a sense of place.

Dammit. Apologies. (And you'd think, if I was gonna put that in my notes, I'd at least get the attribution right.)

Because the Argrathi are dicks? O'Brien had been accused of espionage for almost no reason; it seems obvious in retrospect that the race was more interested in trying to break him and ruin the rest of hie life (thus helping to warn outsiders off of ever messing with Argrathi again) than it was in applying any…

"Moreover, "The Visitor" (as fine as it is) doesn't have the acting performance this one does. Colm Meany is outstanding in this episode. "

The ones in "Sons Of Mogh" were very well-handled.

Haven't seen "In the Pale Moonlight" yet, but "Hard Time" would definitely go on my top five list.

I was initially set to argue Todd on that point (ie, I would've argued against a single sentence out of an entire essay which I basically agree, because I'm the worst), but while I don't think it's an event as bad as anything in The Following, it wasn't Breaking Bad's most elegant plot mechanic. On the downside, we…

There are plenty of things that exist that people don't believe in. It's not exactly a logic-based relationship.

I considered that, but it doesn't really play; we spend more time with Rom than we do with Quark at the start of the episode, and Quark is presented as the antagonist for most of the running time.
