This is the discount version of the DS9 nine episode called 'Paradise Lost' that attempts to put a spotlight on fanatical members of the federation. If this episode was redesigned to illuminate factual truths spoken by Fullerton and provide us with some genuine conflict that would have gone a long way to peak my interest ----- Sadly, Fullerton is more villain than antagonist and I find that boring.
The jealous sub plot with Worf will not go down as one of the better characterization moments in star trek history. I could buy into this if Worf was a 15-17 year old human male completely out of a control overdosing on testosterone but he's a professional trained starfleet officer and should be above such primal emotions controlling his behavior.
I did find enjoyment in Leeta breaking up with Bashir so she could pursue that 'dreamy' Rom.
Quarks role felt more like a contractual obligation?! He was essentially furniture in this episode and that is unfortunate given Armin's acting range.
The major sin of the episode is that is was boring. I will occasionally throw out some fanfic idea's for how I would have fixed an episode but given the premise of this episode, I have no idea how to make this episode work.
