Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Not really. When going back and watching early seasons of DS9, Sisko with hair is always one of the most jarring things.

You’re telling me it won’t be hard for me to get used to it? Wow! Thats presumptuous of you.

Recall that I did not originally watch past early season 3, so Sisko with hair and no goatee is what I was used to.

Yeah, sorry, poor phrasing on my part, I was intending it more as a commentary on the transition in general, not your perception of it.

Thanks. No worries. I'm sure I will eventually get used to it and then maybe I, too, will look back at early Sisko and think his hair looks strange!

For me it was the opposite. After seeing Brooks as Hawk, in "Spenser: For Hire", my brain couldn't accept him with hair and no Van Dyke.

I see that Kira not only gets a new hairdo but also a new uniform as well! Both hairdo and uniform are so much better than the old ones.

Why don’t the other Bajorans (and Odo) get new uniforms too?

It's Bajor, they're not made of money. Kira's the one who shows up on the news and interstellar conference calls.

“Hippocratic Oath” is an interesting episode. It begins with O’Brien almost admitting that he’s attracted to Bashir, and it ends with O’Brien telling Bashir that he can write him up for disobeying his orders.

Is this the end of their friendship, or do they make amends? (I hope the show doesn’t just move on and pretend this incident never happened.)

Its more or less resolved at the end when Bashir is like, "yeah I dont want play darts...but maybe in a few weeks." I thought this was an excellent episode, if somewhat ship in a bottle. One of the themes for the Bashir character is maturing through experience, and Miles has already taken that road as his friend and sort of mentor. Hippocratic Oath takes that further in the role of Bashir as a doctor and O'Brien as a former solider.

Examine the possibilities from both Miles and Julian is interesting. As a doctor obviously Julian wants to help people. If he can break the Jem'Hadar of their addiciton, he can free them from the heels of the dominion. Miles is old school and you dont help your enemy during a conflict, but I think he also goes the extra mile to save a friend. Who knows what these Jem'Hadar would do after the cure let along the rest of them? It might be a worse menace setting them free to the Federation.

Yeah, the episode was really good from that perspective. I was just wondering if there were any long-term consequences for Bashir and O’Brien.

Kira gets high heels too....

Note, Odo is not wearing a uniform.....Odo IS his uniform
