Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Sisko, Jake, and O’Brien accidentally trigger an old Cardassian security system that believes DS9 has been taken over in a Bajoran workers’ revolt and puts the entire station in lockdown.
Our Take
A tight, old-school disaster hour that traps everyone in the station and lets them scramble. The premise is basically a haunted house with computers, but the pacing never sags and Dukat’s smug video call appearances are a genuine treat. It’s formula stuff done right, and honestly that formula is fun. Well worth your time if you like the cast bouncing off each other under pressure.
