Review : The reveal with Bashir in the old-style uniform caught me completely unawares. While this doesn't exactly help the continuity of previous episodes (how can you not know your best friend who you live and work with every day is actually another person?), it introduces an unexpected line of drama and shows how good the Founders really are - let's face it, they've been top dog for as long as 40K's Imperium, they have got to be at least a little bit l33t. I love this episode and the one which follows and the episodes FEEL important.

Review : I absolutely love the way that the writers of this show portray trauma and how it manifests in different people. The way that Garak reacted to being in such an enclosed space and the way that he reacted to his own claustrophobia really adds a layer of mystery and intrigue to Garak's backstory and his upbringing. And the scene where he talks with his father one last time was just heartbreaking, honestly. Incredible episode.
