So true. Tom cranking over that dry, frozen, meteorite-pocked engine with a battery that has been dead for centuries is one of the most absurd moments in all of Trek. Once upon a time, sci-fi stories were written by people that actually knew something about science.

DS9 "Q-Less" on H&I.
Sisko gets to punch Q in the face. "You hit me....Picard never hit me." Wah wah wah.

What if Voyager had found SpaceX's mannequin in a car too...with that Vis a Vis alien in the driver's seat instead of the dummy.

Had a bit of a Trek mini-marathon:
The Changeling (TOS) - I love it when Kirk talks a machine to death.
Blood Oath (DS9) - Great seeing the old Klingons again, although I have never been able to reconcile this version of Koloth with the one in The Trouble With Tribbles.
Flashback (VGR) - Because I was in the mood for more Old Kang after watching Blood Oath.
Relics (TNG) - my regularly scheduled episode on my DVD rewatch (I streamed the others), but it fit in nicely with my theme of TOS characters showing up in spinoffs I had accidentally started.

DS9 "Dax" on H&I.
While an interesting episode. I would think that the Trill government would have settled issues of host liability for a previous host centuries ago. Is Jadzia responsible for any outstanding bar bills from Curzon? I would think all of this would be settled law.
Knowing that Dax can hold her own against Klingons in a fight. It was dissappointing to see her fall so easily to the security people. Not to mention Bashir going down very quickly.

Unexpected (ENT) - The premise of this one never did much for me, but I realized this episode has moments that perfect illustrate both what I love and what frustrates me about the earliest episodes of Enterprise. On the one hand, we get the idea of space travel and exploration as difficult, challenging and new with Trip having to undergo decompression before entering the alien ship, and his difficulty acclimating after his arrival. On the other hand, he stops by the holodeck while he's over there. They just couldn't completely let go of the same old, same old.
Yeah, but keep in mind it's fresh and new to him, as well as new viewers whose first exposure to Trek was Enterprise. It's kind of weird to think that for diehard Trek fans, the ideas of things which amaze and excite the masses won't phase them as much because the tech will be "pre-normalized" for them. Not to say that the opportunity to use such things for real won't be a thrill, but the idea isn't new.
To my way of thinking, although the symbiont's personality and that of previous hosts it has consumed will assert itself, ultimately the current host decides what to do, whether to obey "the inscrutable exhortations of my soul" (symbiont and previous hosts) or do what they themselves want to.
