Worst Episode Ever[]
I know there was a little background info about how "disapointing" this episode was but maybe more could be added. I know opinion is generally discouraged here but I think this is a leading contender for the worst epiosde in all of Star Trek. I would apriciate any data confirming this opinion from anyone who worked on the show. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Vince47 (talk • contribs).
- "A little"? I count four separate Background items, three of which are from people "who worked on the show". Apriciate? Disapointing. Epiosde! 76.200.159.34
You're absolutely right. I just felt that there should be more evidence. It was that bad. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Vince47 (talk • contribs).
- what?! I just saw this episode and I thought it was pretty enjoyable. Sure the last act with the cavern dragged a little but the twist was good, albeit a little obvious (the moment Bashir was removed from the game it was clear something like that was coming). I'd say it's better than a lot of the rest of season 1, certainly nowhere near the wost in Trek. Worse than Threshold? Spock's Brain? Sub Rosa?! --24.240.63.137 07:28, July 24, 2013 (UTC)
- It's not as bad as people remember. "Children of Time" is a much worse episode. Lt.Lovett (talk) 17:49, March 12, 2014 (UTC)

Irrelevant[]
- Wadi is an Eritrean word, meaning child or son. It is also an Arabic word meaning "valley" (sometimes with the sense of a dry riverbed), and has been appropriated into English with this sense.
Removed as irrelevant. — Morder (talk) 06:36, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
