Meridian DS9 Season 3, Episode 8

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 3 Episode 8 "Meridian" explained. Join me as I review and recap the episode where Dax has a fling with Goodwin from "Lost" and she wants to abandon all her friends and her entire life she knows for 60 years for this dude she just met, and barely has any chemistry with. So yes this story line sucks. But I must admit that I do really love the B plot about a filthy rich cretin trying to get Quark to make a personal Kira hologram for him to have his way with. There's some great character interactions between Kira and Odo, and the comedic timing in this is just perfect, and it's quite a predictive commentary on deep fakes, a topic that wouldn't really become a thing until several decades after this episode was made, so it kind of saves the episode for me. Come see my first reaction as I breakdown the episode and attempt to give my in depth analysis
