Hilarious at times, serious at others....pretty much sums up all of DS9, I think. I know he is the jerk, but I can't help liking Dukat.

While DS9 has been one of the best series I have watched, this episode was a real stinker. Unexplained cuts, issues with unseen happenings...just not good. Only the acting keeps it aloft.
