Needed a break from my usual watching (Have been watching Babylon 5, but at 3 1/2 seasons in, I needed a break) so I slipped in S1 Disk 1 of DS9 and watched Emissary...
I forgot how good of a start this episode was. Even was able to get my mom who visiting to see a bit, and even if it was mostly Cardassain and Kardashians (She immediately rooted for whoever was opposed to the Kardashians
) And she admitted she loved the dot work on Dax makup, for my mom who hates SF in all forms, that is high praise! (My mom at least gave credit to the art direction, though she did note the uniforms don't look as futuristic as they did back in the 1990s when it was first run.
Anyways, I thought it was a good summery of Trek in general, in the sense of imperfect people trying to understand each other and other species. And it was fun to see how some of the makup and writing was. (Bashir as a annoying twit of a kid, Dax being almost written correctly and not The Klingon groupie, and I forgot how nice looking Felicia Bell was in a bikini... And Do to the "Does Kira Whine" thread, I watched for it, and while she angry, it wasn't whine.. And I am still surprised they so quickly got rid of the first Kai, as she did a great job with the bad lines getting a spritual center in her role.
