Nice and creepy here. I love James Sloyan in every Star Trek role I have seen him in and while I prefer his Romulan role on TNG, this is another terrific acting job by one of the best Trek guest star regulars.

Jack's Review
Very neat episode but I am wondering how Bashir cured O'Brein so easily since he was infected with some genetic weapon that was supposed to be so terrible. This one adds more depth to what will, I am sure, become the Geordi/Data team of DS9.
Episode:214
