"Honor Among Thieves" - DS9
"Change of Heart" - DS9
DS9 is so damn consistent. Honor Among Thieves was a fantastic O'Brien episode. Not the most original concept, but all of the acting, in particular Colm Meaney and the guy who plays Bilby is outstanding. A fun little spy story. Excellent.
And NOW I understand why people love the Jadzia/Worf relationship. That long dialogue scene in the shuttle was so well-written. This episode established their relationship better than any ep previously. This could have and should have been a much earlier episode, maybe even preceding their marriage. Then I would've been on board with them from the beginning.
I'm so close to In the Pale Moonlight, I can taste it. Never seen it but its reputation is inescapable. Looking forward to it.
