There are moments in Trek that are so touching and human, that episodes like "The Muse" validate the beauty and ever-present relevance of the various series. I suppose that Majel Barrett's (the first lady of Trek) involvement in the writing of this episode had to do with it's touching nature. There were moments between she and Odo that had me reeling. Then there's the whole bit about Jake and his writing Muse which is also so poetic. This is one really heartfelt episode.
