Shadowplay: excellent episode

Don't see Shadowplay mentioned very much if ever, but it's an excellent episode.

RA and the Taya actress both gave phenomenal performances. This plot of if holograms are real and/or important has been rehashed endlessly in Trek, but Shadowplay took that stale old plot and made it amazing due to their very strong acting.

Whilst I find Shadowplay excellent, I find most other Trek episodes that use this concept of 'we must care about holograms!' to be unwatchable drivel, ie: Fair Haven, A Fistful of Datas etc. etc. Although I also love Vic Fontaine because he too was a very well-played and fleshed-out hologram person and the episodes regarding him also used this theme well.

Anyone else appreciate Shadowplay as an amazing episode due to RA and the Taya actress?
 
I thought the hologram plot was ok, but the part of the episode I liked was the Kira/Bareil plot back on the station. I just love the two of them together. They're a cute couple, and their personalities are good complements for one another.
