Quotes from the original thread, sans spoilery bit :) :-

Not an earth shattering episode but I like it
Usual good performances from Quark & Odo more good guest performances and an engaging storyline (for me anyway).
Love the way Listening Bloke ends up getting conned himself |

| And hoorah for having the balls to show off O'Brien without his top on - apparently this was an image they fought to keep in the episode |

Good fun. Not the best of episodes as Dave says, but still enjoyable.
Lots of great Quark/Odo and Bashir/O'Brien moments. A good, fun guest appearance from Chris Sarandon as Martus.

This one's up there with Second Sight and Sanctuary. Solid middle of the road stuff. The concept I still think is ludicrous, but the cast get the most out of the story nonetheless.

You always know whenever you see Chris Sarandon that he's going to be a bit slimey :lol: And first we had Smallville's Lex Luthor, now we've got Lois & Clark's Martha Kent - K Callan - turning up (love the way Quark walks in and tells Sarandon he's been swindled by her :lol: ). Not so happy to see Babara Bosson, because she always used to irritate the hell out of me as Fay Furillo on Hill Street Blues :rolleyes:
I quite enjoyed this one, mainly for the O'Brien/Bashir scenes. Poor old Julian, he really does suffer from foot in mouth disease. Quite amused by the pep talk Keiko gives Miles before the match, too :lol:
It did leave me wondering if they ever finished the game, though, and how all those punters reacted if they didn't :lol:

Also, it amused me to see an Antican hanging around in the background on The Promenade :thumbsup:

That's the kind of information I invariably think about mentioning when commenting on the ep and then completely forget by the time I actually get round to posting :rolleyes:
I think quite a lot of my DS9 comments ended up like that :lol:
Of course, in this case I didn't notice it but that's beside the point :lol: :snooty:
