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


Sad long haired bloke.

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:

:blink:

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:
