A young Jem'Hadar finds himself on DS9 and Odo tries to civilise him.
This is a solid episode that explores the mentality of Jem'Hadar and has some good character moments.
The plot is DS9's answer to 'I Borg' but with a quite different twist in its tale. I think the story is good, and reading that Avery Brooks' wanted to capture the mentality of youth gang culture with this episode, it works well for that theme.
Rene Auberjonois is on great form and his performance is one of the strongest aspects of it, along with how it firmly establishes the Jem'Hadar as a credible threat.
There is a subplot involving Jake and Dabo girlfriend that has some quite good banter that works for developing his character. I also like the scene with Chief O'Brien that relates to this.
For me it's a 7.5/10 but I round upwards.
