A nice start to the series. The faceoff with Picard really adds to things too. Seeing Sisko being belligerent towards Picard at first and then learning to move past his misguided anger shows what kind of commander he will become.

Good trial episode. Love the cranky old Bajoran judge. The plot was relatively easy to figure out, however...yet still fun.

Oh dear god...yeah this one is terrible. The aliens sound like the Pakleds at times and Q the rest of the time. Just plain awful. This one reminds me of the clown episode of Voyager (The Thaw) only it is much worse.

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.
