Short and Sweet

Resurrection

I apologize for the large gap in reviews!  I’ve been a little preoccupied as of late with a little game called Left 4 Dead (1&2).  Since I am trying to balance school, finding a job, watching Star Trek and playing Left 4 Dead, sometimes I get behind in one or the other.  But I finally watched this episode and I am ready to comment.

Kertrats, I see what you mean when you say this isn’t one of your favourites.  I found the episode kind of slow and not as exciting as the previous episodes in the season.  I was excited to see that LeVar Burton directed this episode.  I was not as excited that it was another alternate universe episode.  I thought one was cool.  I thought two was kind of neat.  But now it feels drawn out and not as unique.  It was kind of interesting that they brought back Bareil though.  I never thought I’d see him again! 

I was excited that we finally got to see inside of the Bajoran shrine.  I kept waiting for that moment when we’d get to see inside and I was really happy that this episode did that. 

I really enjoy the friendships that have developed on this show.  I really enjoy Dax and Kira together.  Their conversations feel so real.  They actually talk about things that girls talk about.  I find that a lot of shows get the relationships between girls wrong and it bothers me.  This relationship just feels real and I really enjoy watching them together.  I also enjoy Kira and Bashir’s relationship.  I thought it was hilarious that Bashir was inquiring about Kira’s night with Bareil.  I probably wouldn’t think it was as funny if Kertrats had not informed me that the two were actually dating in real life at the time.  It adds a little humour to the situation.

I like Quark, I really do.  This episode highlighted the fact that he’s not just a latinum hungry Ferengi.  He’s so perceptive at times and I think it adds so much to his character.  I love how the writers have developed his character into something so much more than a bar owner. 

I was a little unsure of how I felt about Kira’s relationship with the Bareil from the other universe.  It felt kind of creepy at first but then it almost felt right.  I just thought it was kind of creepy how immediate her strong attraction to Bareil was.  Just because she had dated the other Bareil and he was dead and it kind of felt like she was attracted to him because of her feelings for the old Bareil.  I am sure this probably played a part but as the episode progressed it felt more like she liked him for who he was and not because he looked like the dead Bareil.  I don’t know if I’ve explained myself properly, and I just want to make sure that it is understood that I wasn’t judging Kira for her actions. 

Anyways, I know this is short but I can’t think of much to say about this episode.   It wasn’t a terrible episode, just slower than the ones previous.  I liked it just fine.
