You quit watching DS9 just because of that ONE episode!? Isn't that just
atiny bit over-reactionary? Did you stop watching TOS because of silly
episodes like "Miri", and "The Omega Glory"?

...Actually, "The Omega Glory" isn't *that* bad of an episode when you
strip out the patriotic elements (*). On the other hand, when you do,
you wind up with "Star Trek: Insurrection".

(*) Then again, I *loved* the patriotic elements. Go figure.


The only things I found worthwhile about that episode is the opening
scenes on the U.S.S. Exeter (beautiful FX for the time of the Enterprise
and Exeter in orbit together), and Morgan Woodward's superb performance as
Captain Ron Tracey (it's truely chilling when he describes how he and his
men killed thousands apon thousands of Yangs with just four phasers!).
