DS9 Season 1, Episode 4 (Netflix: S1 E2): A Man Alone
Rating: 3
As happens every once in a while in Star Trek, A Man Alone is a murder mystery story. Like other Trek murder mysteries, the actual mystery isn’t very compelling. In this case the solution to the mystery is just some sci-fi trick. Fortunately this episode contains a number of enjoyable Odo scenes, which makes it worth watching. If you aren’t a fan of Odo, and don’t have much interest in Dax (who is also developed a bit) then maybe you should skip it.

Read what the A.V. Club has to say about it.
“I’ll never understand the humanoid need to couple” -The Constable

The first of many episodes dissecting the Dax character, which theoretically is interesting, but it seems like the writers have trouble defining her right now.
First appearance of Keiko in DS9, and the introduction to her starting the school.

“Laws change, depending on whose making them…Cardassians one day, Federation the next…but justice is justice” -The Constable A good summary of the constable’s view. They’ll be hitting us over the head with his love of justice a lot in the beginning, so be ready.
They kick off Jake and Nog’s friendship in this episode. I actually like their relationship, even though it seems like it would be annoying.
“Departure from Alderaan Spaceport”? Get outta here Star Wars

I like how the constable gets annoyed that Sisko might not be acting straight forward with him
It was nice of the vandals to write in english so the audience would understand.
