I'll be honest here, with Deep Space Nine, Star Trek peaked. The franchise has been going down ever since. It took Voyager 3 seasons to find it way, and was still mostly unsatisfying. Enterprise was just bad. And the less said about the Kelvin timeline, Discovery and Picard, the better. DS9 wasn't only well written and acted, be it did things no other Trek tried. A single parent who parents while he commands. A former terrorist who becomes XO. The list goes on. Then there's this episode, created for Treks anniversary. A tremendous, fan friendly show, filled with tons of Easter eggs, the highlight, other than the seamless way the show was fitted with the modem characters is Dax, who, thanks to her Trill memories, is a total fan girl. Gushing over Spock, a carnal memory of McCoy, remembering having a tricorder... All great stuff. Written by fans, for fans, a true highlight of any series.
