Miles O'Brien befriends the first alien to come through the wormhole. The alien, Tosk is nervous about something but needs O'Brien's help to fix his ship. Come to find out Tosk is a member of a sentient species that is hunted for pleasure. Since I find all hunting for pleasure repulsive, I found it hard to swallow the implied message of "different culture, different values." I don't think O'Brien was buying that either but he naturally had to concede to Tosk's wishes. Meaney did a wonderful job in this episode and it great seeing him in such a dominant role. This was a thoughtful, interesting and memorable episode but it was a little slow. But that's okay because if every show was non-stop action, that would get boring. So a nice change of pace.
