Man, DS9, Our Man Bashir is either the very best or very worst episode of the series and I can't decide which.

Best overall holodeck episode, any series.

Top 20 non-arc DS9 episodes.

When faced with a choice like this, I tend to ask: "Did the cast visibly enjoy doing this?" If so- as is clearly the case for Our Man Bashir- it is one of the very best.

Nana Visitor was clearly having more fun than anyone else. Her hammy accent is amazing.

She's great at hamming it up. Check her out in the Night Court episode "Educating Rhoda".

A Bond ripoff where the villain's plan actually succeeds is a great idea. That Bashir triggers the plan is the icing on the cake.

Wouldn't work. Eventually the rule would be broken.

Roddenberry and/or Gerrold said at the beginning "no space pirates, not now not ever" and by the end of TNG we'd seen at least two episodes with space pirates.

I'd be fine with The Traveler making the Enterprise go Warp 15 if there was a short clip after the credits of Diane Duane and Michael Reaves being punched in the (lady)dicks.

I lost interest during the court case that was basically Measure Of A Man but not as funny. The only giggle they got out of me after that was Worf+Tick.

My understanding is that the script was so heavily rewritten that it bears only a superficial resemblance to what the credited writers actually turned in.

I liked that they got a letter from MGM for that episode, though I don't think there's much legal ground to stand on there. Yeah it was obviously Bond but it's all parody.

Garak's incredulousness about the whole thing was great.

I've been watching DS9's first season again for the first time in a while (I usually just watch the pilot, Duet and the last ep of the season), and I am enjoying what a shitheap the station is for the first little while.

Everything is always broken and you can tell that the crew doesn't have a handle on it yet.

I ended up getting the 1/350 Enterprise refit model from Amazon because it was on sale. Now I think I'm going nuts because I'm planning on getting a pearlescent white gloss paint as the base for the aztec decals and aaaaagh.

The model is pretty drat big too.
