- The chistiry between two people, doing nothing but talking is explosive and outstanding. This episode is the best story I have ever seen of read, about an interragation.
- Of course this episode is so emotionaly because it has stunning parelles to real life, and not just the odvious one of the holocaust, but about hatred, projudice, geonide, and vengence.
- The first season is the year that explained the most about the Bajoran people, and this episode is the best to show the aftermath of the Cardassain Occupation of Bajor. Episode like TNG's "Ensign Ro" and DS9's series preime "Emmisary" mention the occupation and go into some detail, but in those episode it seems so distant and cold, like picking up a news paper and reading about a thousand people being murdered in Afirica because of their religoin, it effects us but not strongly. Yhis episode brings it home to the heart, I suppose that some people may not be effected very much by this episode because they know it's all just fiction, however when you consider it's all a represtiation of real life events that effected this world in the past and the present.
= The whole plot of the episode and how it was written was also incredibly amazing. They bring a Cardassain , Marritza, aboard, and because Kira knows he was worked at the most infamous labor camp during the occupation, she tries to prosecute him to the fullest. Then she learns that this Cardassain is actually Gul Darhe'el, the head of that labor camp. Kira then becomes infurrated when Darhe'el justifies all of the acresitys he was responceble for. Then Kira learns that he's not really Gul Darhe'el that he is Marritza a file clerk who worked at the labor camp, and was helpless to stop the horrible things he saw, and pretended to be Darhe'el so he could be excuted so that Cardassia would be forced to admit its guilt. After he is released a Bajoran kills him, just because of the fact he is a Cardassian. This show the hatred, not only that the Cardassains hold against the Bajorans, but also the hatred the Bajorans hold towards the Cardassains. Kira went in there with the sole purpose of proving Marritza guilty and seeing him excuted, she didn't really care to find the truth, she wanted him to be guilty, so seeing him excuted would bring her saisfaction. However when she learns the truth about him, she learns to put her hatred and prejudice aside.
- Not only is this episode very emotionly and dramtic it is also very suspenful, it has more plot twists than a whinding road.
- We Also learn alot more about Kira and her background as a terrorist, how she struggles with all of the murders she had to commit to free her people.
