Can't wait to see your thoughts on it. It has what I think is one of the best constructed twist-reveal scenes I've ever seen on TV. I shan't say any more :)

That's true. Though, even in that circumstance, I find there is *always* something vaguely ominous whenever Odo talks about "people" — because it always reminds us that he doesn't consider himself one of them. He may be trying to convince Kira in this case, but (and maybe I'm reading too much into it) it feels like…

"proto-fascist" might be harsh, but I think Jimmy is right — there are glimmers of the Founders' desire for control and order in Odo.

I noticed they took every opportunity in this episode to have people be surprised at the fact that Rick & Co cleared out the prison — definitely setting up the idea that they are the baddest-assed of badass post-apocalyptic warrior troupes
