(First watched 2008-08-25)
(First watched 2008-08-25) A kind of stupid premise... but I appreciate that they handled it about as seriously as possible. And the set design of the circuit board tiny O'Brien and Bashir are walking around on is something totally unique.

(First watched 2008-09-03)  Feels like a combination of different things we've seen multiple times before.  We get to see occupation Bajor/Terok Nor again.  We get to see Dukat's actions as prefect.  We get to see the complicatedness of the collaborator issue.  We get nonintrusive time travel.

And then Kira almost (intentionally) killing her mother?  Iiiiiii dunno about that one.

I realize this is a TV show, but isn't the basis of this story an incredible coincidence? Dukat had a relationship with Kira's mother? It could go a long way to explaining his obsession with her, yes. But unless the earlier situation helped bring about the later one (and I don't think the Bajoran provisional government was taking suggestions from Dukat as to who to put in charge of their newly capture space station), it is absolutely lottery-winning odds that among billions of Bajorans, Dukat ends up connected to both mother and daughter.
