More than makes up for the crummy prior episode. Honestly, I have only one gripe...Odo's hair....when it gets messed up he looks stranger than usual...and that is saying something.

This was a really fun episode. It reminds me of something they would have done on Voyager with the Delta Flyer.

A simply beautiful episode that does a great job of firing up the most heartwarming love story in the series and introducing a terrific new character. Plus, I love James Darren, so this one was a no-brainer.
