Tallman noted that "everyone on the set freaked out, but I said, 'No, don't stop! That was really good - it looked very authentic!' So we finished the fight there and then."

Featured review
Enjoyable Jadzia episode
A skeleton crew on DS9 are taken hostage by a Trill and henchmen.
This is a decent episode with some good moments for Jadzia and the Trill species.
The premise contains an excellent idea about stealing a symbiont from its host, but as a hostage drama it is pretty standard. Everything from the skeleton crew, to Quark's behaviour and Odo in the box feels contrived.
All the development of the Trills is very good. Jadzia is made an even more interesting character with this story and Terry Farrell does a great job of portraying her in a pretty vulnerable position. John Glover also delivers a strong performance as the primary antagonist.
To be fair all the cast are on good form with Avery Brooks and Alexander Siddig both having strong material that makes the most of their abilities.
I liked the visual effects used in the symbiont scenes which for me were quite realistic and well designed.
