I very much enjoyed this episode, and although it wasn't the season highpoint - as it was promoted to be by the show's producers, it did achieve most of the goals it had set for itself such as showing how the war affects people on the frontlines. Bill Mumy (Lennier from "Babylon 5" is terrific as Ezri's possible romantic interest and the rest of the guest cast are equally as good. I also enjoyed Quark's views on humans at war - which are quite true actually.



RATING: 4 out of 5
