Cardassians
Kim Kardashian and co have ruined this species for me, I just can't take their name seriously.
O'Brien is such a racist, even if he slightly learned the error of his ways. And corporal punishment still exists in the future ("I used to get hit on the bottom")?
A good episode! A nice twisty mystery and it raised some interesting moral questions. I'm not convinced sending the boy back to Cardassia was the right solution. His adoptive parents were the people he saw as his parents.
Melora
How thick are the DS9 crew? They have no idea why a "disabled" person might not want to be treated like a baby? And they are in space but have never ever turned down the gravity to see what weightlessness is like?
"Is that why my backside hurts?". Julian you dirty bastard.
Overall a below average episode. The "love" story felt weak, the low gravity thing only made sense one way (for the being from the low gravity environment) and the Quark subplot wasn't as fun as it should have been.
And what sort of strawberry floating nutter willingly goes to a Klingon restaurant?
Rules of Acquisition
The Ferengi are such misogynistic little gooseberry fools. And I'm pretty sure we're supposed to find it funny that they are groping women.
Other than that, this was a pretty solid little story. I've heard of (but know nothing about) "the Dominion wars" before and so I'm assuming that making contact with the Dominion is going to be a big mistake later on.
Necessary Evil
Looking on IMDb, it seems this episode is quite highly rated. I don't know why, I found it quite dull.
It was nice to get some backstory on Odo during the Cardassian occupation though. Other than that? Meh.
