Synopsis: Kira leads the evacuation of a Bajoran moon which is being converted into a massive power plant that will render the entire surface uninhabitable, but an old farmer refuses to leave.

Memory Alpha Summary: Yay, capitalism

Review: This concept was done much better in The Ensigns of Command.

Synopsis: Ezri returns to her home to ask her family’s help in finding O’Brien, who disappeared while searching for the widow of a dead friend.

Memory Alpha Summary: O’Brien watching others suffer for a change!

Review: My, my.  Lots of “end the conversation by walking away indignantly” going on in this episode.  Maybe it’s because I’m from Minnesota, but I’ve almost never seen this in reality. Once in a while for dramatic effect is fine, but nobody in this episode likes saying, “See ya later.”

Synopsis: While hosting her first Trill initiate Dax discovers a tiny, expanding protouniverse that threatens to destroy the Bajoran system.

Memory Alpha Summary: But let’s talk about it for only ten minutes.
