Star Trek DS9 Episode 36 - Shadowplay

Odo and Dax go to a planet to investigate the disappearance of villagers. There is not much to say about this one. Come to find out that the entire thing was a hologram and that the people are disappearing because the generator is failing. Only one man is real and he created the entire thing.

What was interesting about this episode, is that it had good character development for Odo. He shows emotion over being an orphan and bonds with a child who is in a similar situation. DS9 does a great job developing characters.

36 down and 140 to go

DS9 had a weird period where they kept writing Next Generation plots. They're good episodes and interesting stories, but when you go back and rewatch them, they just don't feel like DS9.

Exactly. There have been a handful so far in season two. Granted it must be tough to write consistently creative plots when each season has 24+ episodes. I kind of like how they make shows now. 10-13 episodes per season.
