[DS9] Facets

[DS9] Season 3, Episode 25: Facets

facetsRating: 2

I’m a little on the fence for this episode. It’s good for illustrating Dax’s character, and making her different hosts distinct rather than mere references that can be hard to keep track of. It also showcases more of the Curzon character, which is interesting. It’s just a little too dull, and comes at a time when we’ve already seen a bunch of episodes analyzing Dax. I probably would’ve given this episode a 3 if it had been in the first or second season.
