Though to be honest that's probably the episode's only real weakness - it's a bit vague and an odd way to do it, it's so clearly just an excuse to tell the 1950s story!Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-15640695020519419572021-08-14T18:06:46.357-04:002021-08-14T18:06:46.357-04:00This is a fantastic episode on its own.

I can't help but contrast this episode with TNG's Time's Arrow where Guinan hanging out with the elite in 1890's San Francisco was jarring. In some ways, DS9 is a less hopeful version of Star Trek because it reveals that the Federation isn't always perfect and its freedoms need to be guarded. But it's also the only version of Star Trek that has thought about how we get from here to there (in the 2-parter Past Tense). <br /><br />Inner Light is by far the best 1-episode romance any version of Star Trek has ever donemagrittenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-58285061009847544132021-08-14T06:05:44.659-04:002021-08-14T06:05:44.659-04:00Billie I have to confess, I cried while writing it...Billie I have to confess, I cried while writing it!<br /><br />Good point about The Inner Light, that is a classic.
