DS9 - Babel

In this episode, almost all of the station’s population is put out of commission, and those who are left, in fish-out-of-water situations. Quark and Odo end up crewing ops together, providing them with many good opportunities to insult each other. Another positive aspect of this episode is Major Kira; her sarcastic attitude is both appropriate for her character, and somewhat comical. In this episode, Doctor Bashir seems to have finally gained a level of maturity, a distant improvement from the stumbling puppy behavior in the previous episodes. The graphic of the euphasia virus is disappointing. It actually makes no sense as there are miniaturized versions of it floating in the background, and miniatures would serve no purpose except to clutter up the display.
