This one was really cool. Nice insight into the Jem'Hadar too. I didn't care for the ending as much as I would have hoped. O'Brien and Bashir are terrific together...so don't mess with that!

This one was actually hard to watch. I love Miles. Easily one of my favorite Star Trek characters. So to watch him suffer so terribly is gut-wrenching. So glad they got him back on track.
