Spoiler-free notes: It's good to see some pretty immediate repercussions for Dukat after returning to Cardassia with Ziyal at the end of "Indiscretion." Great, just what I needed, another character pining over Kira. I have a hard time imagining how the Klingon intelligence network actually functions. Though TOS had a handful of Klingon spies, it seems a lot more difficult in this time period for Klingons to be subtle enough for espionage work. Though there would have probably been a way to neutralize them as a threat, Dukat's decision to kill the Klingons aboard the freighter is not without merit. They would not have sat idly by while the Cardassians worked to repair their Bird-of-Prey. Dukat's "I am the only Cardassian left" speech is really good, a nice outburst to remind us how bloodthirsty and arrogant he really is. His subsequent pleading with Kira to help organize a terrorist-style resistance against the Klingons clearly has an effect on Kira. Even though she refuses to admit it later, she is tempted to make a deal with the devil. This isn't a bad episode and serves as a natural follow-up to "Indiscretion." The fourth act--in which they best the Klingons--is also pretty exciting and cool. However, having another Kira/Dukat episode so soon feels a bit repetitive, and the episode takes a long time getting to the good stuff near the end. Though his role in this episode is fairly small and unimportant, we see Damar for the first time. He will go on to become a major recurring character, especially during the final two seasons. | |||||||||||
