| I wonder what Empok Nor means. It sounds Cardassian (DS9 was Tarek Nor, wasn't
it?)

| >> DS9 was Tarek Nor, wasn't it?
Close. I would have thought "Tarok Nor" or "Tarek Nor" myself, but Robert H.
Wolfe recently answered the spelling question, and it's "Terok Nor".

| I'm on the fence about this one. I thought the suspense was well done, but I
also felt there were few surprises (except one, which I'll discuss under a
spoiler). Excellent acting jobs by Garak and O'Brien; I really like those
characters.
Spoilers...
The one surprise was at the end of the fight with O'Brien re-asserting he
wasn't a soldier, he was an engineer, and then showing what an engineer can do.
Good one!
I also liked the conversation at the end between Garak and O'Brien; really well
done.
But, as soon as I saw four new crew members with speaking roles, I knew they
were history. I was kind of rooting for the blue guy and the woman, they
appealed to me, but no such luck. And perhaps the previews or press info gave
it away, but I knew Garak was going to turn on them; I think the whole business
about the psychotropic drug and Garak's weird demeanor (plus the yucky stuff he
put his hand onto) made that obvious anyway. The pursuit scenes were staged
well, but the whole episode was one big pursuit scene; the plot could have been
summarized in ten minutes.
I did like seeing how O'Brien faced his past as a soldier, and how he handled a
dire situation, and how Nog worked under pressure. Garak was wonderful; I
loved his scene where he was trying to get into the computer system and talking
to himself. (I thought he would babble on for five minutes or more, and then
someone would claim it was a Babylon 5 tie-in.)
