I really liked "Fascination"

[u/imgaming117]

20 year old Star Trek fan here. I recently started watching through DS9 for the VERY FIRST time and I've been enjoying it quite a bit so far. Some of my favorite episodes include Duet, Armageddon Game, Whispers, The Search, Civil Defense…there's a lot of episodes I don't care for but now that I'm on season three the show seems to be in its groove.

Last night I watched S3E10 "Fascination" and it turns out it's ranked one of the worst?? It's one of my favorites of the season so far! I like it when Trek gets goofy and watching Odo interact with Lwaxana will never get old. Plus his reaction to Bashir and Kira in the infirmary is hilarious. I don't know, I liked it. But I also found a tad bit of enjoyment in "Move Along Home" and didn't care for "Second Skin" so maybe my taste is all messed.

The premise and execution are quite bad. This definitely belongs in a "worst episodes" listing. You'll find most Lwaxana Troi episodes there. Most of us were fine having her character stay on TNG.

I enjoyed the last Hellboy movie and the saw it had a 4.8 score on IMDb so what do I know?

You're allowed to like things other people don't.

Valiiant is considered a bad episode and it is but I'll still fire it up so I can watch all those cadets die.

He might have been a good man, but he was a bad Captain

It is? I've used to teach teenagers leadership (and followership, ethics, chain of command, operational risk management, and other things), and could do.it easily in a class where few were actually Star Trek knowledgeable. I thought it was well written, and had very interesting points, another "morally grey" episode where it's not easy to pin point the exact moment we crossed the line, but it's easy to tell we went too far...

Don't think you meant to reply to me.

You are correct, but since you've read it, what do you think? Lol jk
