Synopsis: Ambassador Lwaxana Troi visits the station to attend the Bajoran Gratitude Festival, resulting in an outbreak of passion throughout the station as people admit their secret feelings for others.
Review: This might be the only Lwaxana episode where she doesn’t get a lot of screen time. It’s a fun episode from a costume and music perspective, but it’s just so been done before on Star Trek. Naked Time, Naked Now, even bits here and there earlier in Season 1.
Review: A straightforward episode about refugees and Bajor’s unwillingness to help. I like that they had an episode where the universal translator takes time to catch up to a foreign syntax, just to remind us that English doesn’t somehow permeate the Gamma Quadrant.

Review: It is not a coincidence that the title and look of this mobile game is reminiscent of Tecmo Super Bowl. It is steeped in the best facets of arcade gaming, emphasizing ease of play over realism.
Synopsis: Grand Nagus Zek has become a philanthropist, and Quark worries that he may have gone insane; Bashir is nominated for a prestigious medical award.
Review: I know the cast and crew were very proud of this episode, but man I just have a hard time getting into a Ferengi drama. The conflicts are overly simplistic–a female is trying to work AND wear clothes!?!?–and their indignancy is unpleasant to listen to. It was nice to see Rom get angry and use some trickery to resolve the conflict, but when it comes down to it, I just don’t care. One cool thing this episode does is mention the start of Nog’s future Star Fleet career.
Review: Rather than be content to upgrade the previous installment, Tecmo decided to overhaul the game itself. It remains an arcade version of football with no penalties, but the gameplay became visually less appealing and also less intuitive.
Review: The original version of this game for the NES wound up the #1 game on my countdown. I’ve spent more hours of my life playing that game than any other. However, this sequel for the Super NES comes in fairly close behind it.
Synopsis: Kira, Damar, and Garak are ambushed on Cardassia; Quark receives a message from Grand Nagus Zek appointing him the next leader of the Ferengi Alliance.
Review: I was prepared for the penultimate episode being a tour de force, wrapping up the Dominion War while leaving the final episode for the denouement. Instead we have a decent story for the Cardassian rebellion usurped by one final mess of a Ferengi episode. While it’s fitting that Rom would be appointed the Grand Nagus given how much their society has changed under the leadership of Moogie, nobody cares, and it sets up another rant by Quark about how he should be able to sexually exploit his workers. Was that supposed to be funny in 1999? Gee willikers.
