Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Original airdate: 10/24/93. Stardate: 47177.2. In this second-season highlight, Andrew Robinson (perhaps best known to movie buffs as the killer "Scorpio" in Dirty Harry) reprises his role (from the first season's "Past Prologue") as DS9's resident Cardassian and alleged spy Garak, who provides Bashir with a blunt lesson in Bajoran-Cardassian politics when a young Cardassian orphan arrives at the station. The boy, Rugal, had been abandoned on Bajor after the Cardassian siege, and raised by Bajoran parents who taught him to despise all members of his own race--a hatred he expresses by biting Garak's hand, prompting Sisko to resolve the sticky issue of Rugal's rightful parentage. Through intelligent dialogue and nonverbal, character-based interactions, this well-executed episode operates on several levels, exposing Chief O'Brien's own lingering prejudice against Cardassians, deepening the intrigue of Garak's enigmatic character (to be further explored in subsequent episodes), and exploring Star Trek's time-honored theme of racial and/or species intolerance in the wake of tragic warfare. There's no action to speak of, making this a more cerebral study of DS9's volatile political context. --Jeff Shannon Binding VHS Tape. Format: NTSC.
