Starship Down DS9 Season 4 Episode 6

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 4 Episode 6 "Starship Down" explained. Join me as I review and recap the episode that tries to be like "Balance of Terror" and "Disaster" and ends up doing neither very well and is done much better years later in "Strange New Worlds". The cat and mouse theme with Jem'hadar is exciting and works for a while until we get to the Disaster elements, then the episode kind of falls apart. Sisko and Kira act like they're not close friends which they are. Kira acts like she worships Sisko as a deity, which she doesn't. Worf acts like he doesn't know how to communicate with Junior officers, which he does. The Karemma act like their honest actors who value honesty in business, which they're not. And the Bashir and Dax thing is fine, but nothing really happens in it. So all in all this episode is a disaster. Come see my first reaction as I breakdown the episode and attempt to give my in depth analysis
