An absolutely great premise that ends up with two flaws. One, there is no way they would have selected the Chief for this since he has a family. Two, the episode ends very abruptly.

Director: Jonathan West
Jack's Review
I think this one jumps the shark. Nana Visitor and Marc Alaimo are terrific as usual, but the story takes Kira way off character, feels very contrived, and like the writers are just trying to add fuel to make viewers hate Dukat.

This one has some great moments. There is a palpable sense of dread, plenty of mysticism, and pissing contests between Sisko and Kai WInn....but something about that end battle....just felt strange.
Episode:622

I had the end of this one figured out early in the episode - but that doesn't detract from the great acting and good-if-easy to figure out story.
Episode:626
