Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Season 2 Disc 2

I'm not going to delude myself into thinking any of you know or care that much about Deep Space Nine, but let me just assure you that it's way better than Next Generation. Anyway, it's a Star Trek show about a space station in a politically unstable area of space made even unstabler by a new wormhole to an unexplored part of the galaxy. Season 1 was ok, but season 2 is largely boring. The show gets way better in season 3. Let me break this disc down:

"Cardassians" - Kind of interesting character piece (not any DS9 character) about a Cardassian (bad guy) child raised by Bajorans to hate Cardassians, so if you like kids you might like this one.

RATING: 61%

"Melora" - Awful, hamhanded story about a disabled person in the future (hint, she's an alien, way to be progressive).

RATING: 36%

"Rules Of Acquisition" - Quark, a Ferengi (a race who is singularly obsessed with profit, as though any one species could be singularly obsessed with anything, oh wait, Star Trek does that all the time post TOS) is involved in some trade stuff with some face paint dudes but also there's a Ferengi woman which is totally crazy because the Ferengi think their women are meant to serve and that's it, oh, and they fall in love or something I guess.

RATING: 41%

"Necessary Evil" - A great episode that weaves together past and present as Odo tries to solve a years old murder.

RATING: 85%

I always found Deep Space Nine really slow. Not as bad as Voyager, but bad enough that I didn't really want to watch it.
