Star Trek DS9 Episode 133 - Statistical Probabilities

"Bashir attempts to reintegrate genetically-engineered misfits into society, but they are asked by Starfleet to become a think tank when they provide insightful analysis of upcoming Dominion peace talks."

To say that these people are misfits is an understatement, they are down right insane. They had received the same illegal modifications that Bashir had received as a child but theirs had gone awry. They are still super intelligent, but also complete mental patients. While Bashir works with the wackos, Strafleet decides to use them during the Dominion negotiation. They come up with the surprising conclusion that the Federation will be destroyed if they negotiate. They are contemplating the think tanks conclusion when Bashir discovers that one of the fruitcakes sabotaged the data, the conclusion was wrong. So crisis was averted. The screwballs go back to the nuthouse, but they promise to work on a solution to dealing with the Dominion.

This episode was directed by Anson Williams?!?!?!

I hate this episode. Dumb premise, obnoxious cast. It's all Potsie's fault!
