Q and Vash visit DS9
This is an okay episode but for me is the relatively forgettable outside of some early character development in the series.
I found the plot quite uninteresting and technobabble heavy.
Quark is involved in a few scenes helping Vash to profit from her time exploring the galaxy. These work well to explore his personality and aspects of Ferengi culture. One exchange he has with Odo is particularly good. Armin Shimerman and Rene Auberjonois are great as always.
Q's appearance is okay from a self-referential humour perspective, but it's pretty pointless. The same point about people focusing on their own materialism and missing the bigger picture of life could have been made without him being there to observe. The references to Picard and the Enterprise get tiresome pretty quickly. John De Lancie does his best, but the material is not the strongest for the character.
There are more scenes of Dr Bashir being a sex pest that are slightly cringey, but if the early intention was to make the audience sympathetic due to his loneliness I guess it works. Alexander Siddig is great regardless of Bashir's characterisation.
For me it is a 5.5/10 but I round upwards.
