His Way

Don't take me the wrong way, I liked the will they won't they story for Kira and Odo, and there have been other episodes dedicated to this storyline, e.g. Heart of Stone. But even that advanced the Dominion story a tiny little bit. But this did nothing! Nothing at all!

No Science fiction about this whole episode except the AI Vic Fontaine. But hey, that's nothing new either. Remember this episode is years after Voyager started when we were introduced to the EMH. Why was everyone surprised about an AI hologram? A year earlier Bashir was going to be the new EMH! And lets not forget Moriarty (TNG: Ship in a bottle) either.

I watch Star Trek for good Sci-fi and humanoid endeavour, not romantic comedy. And to be honest, it wasn't that funny either!

I don't like musicals so I didn't care for this episode, and between the sing-a-longs it's mostly cringe-worthy dialogue.

Odo is the first man ever to get out of a woman's friend file without saving her life. Great news for basement nerds everywhere except there's a reason it's called science FICTION.

Ye Gods some on here are right miseries! What on earth - or should I say - DS9 - is wrong with a bit of light heartedness now and again? Odo was really getting into the groove 'playing' the piano and he seemingly did get in a little practice with one of those lovely ladies. I loved it and that ending and kiss!!!

Finally after all these years i have gotten round to DS9 and boy it's rather good up there with the best of Trek TOS for me. What makes it so good I care about the characters as I did in TOS This is a Superb Fun Episode, the people giving it grief "Lighten up Folks" take the ride, roll the dice I have been to Vegas a few times since the 80s but this is the Vegas I would have loved to visit the Rat Pack man that is Living The actors in DS9 are just so good. I was never that fussed about Wolf but now I actually care about him This is a episode most blokes can get with, the "Horrible Friend Zone" the actors are having fun with this episode roll the dice, kick your shoes off and Chill people.

We have seen tons of holodeck episodes in TNG. Deep Space Nine luckily kept those episodes to a minimum. Because once you are in a holosuite, everything can happen which often makes the episodes quite pointless (the exception to this rule were the TNG Moriarty episodes).

In this episode Odo gets advice from a Swing singer that likes to sing Sinatra songs. Bashir programmed this hologram in a way, that he is aware of himself as a hologram and also seems to be quite eloquent and experienced with love and life matters.

Of course Odo needs practice in how to convince Kira of him and in the end the showdown happens and both have dinner together while Odo thinks, Kira is just another hologram and thus opens up to her and shows a more relaxed side of his.

I doubt that Kira would have reacted like she did in the episode though if she found out that Odo used her image to basically practice how to charm her in real life. She surely would have felt tricked. It is similar to someone stalking you to find out everything about you and then use this information to play a charade on you.
