middle of the road rejected TNG episode

Bad, but not offensive. Just very middle of the road D-tier TNG episode. There's been an uncomfortable number of episodes this series where the cast are just.. Hating being there. Colm phones this one in so hard that Bashir's performance actually looks competent by comparison. There's a scene in particular with entirely ADR'd dialogue because of the wind machine where Colm might as well be reading from a phone book. Really cringe stuff.

Some cute stuff with Jake and Nog and Odo elevates this to a 4, but as an episode it has no linking theme between the A and B plot resulting in a disjointed mess that doesn't say anything. Trek at its best asks big moral questions. This is just community theatre and asks nothing.

Random cameo from The Punisher Jon Bernthal as an uncredited Bajoran villager.
