Sanctuary DS9 Season 2, Episode 10

Join me as I review and recap the episode that makes an analogy about refugees, but doesn't do a particularly good job at it, as the story meanders and doesn't have a focus nor a particularly clear message. Also the analogy to modern times doesn't work, because unlike modern day refugees, these Gamma Quadrant refugees are offered a perfect paradise planet by a benevolent post-scarcity civilization and THAT certainly doesn't happen in modern times. But there are some good character moments for Kira, and it delves a bit deeper into Bajoran culture, and the ambiguity of the story does work for the tone of DS9, I like how the viewer is left to make up their own mind rather than being told what to think by the script.
