Notes
- Caitlin Brown plays Ty Kajada. She’s more well known to me as Na’Toth from the series Babylon 5. She later went on to play Vekor in the late TNG episodes “Gambit” (Parts 1 & 2).
- O’Brien & Jake Sisko do not appear in this episode.
- According to writer Robert Hewitt Wolfe, Bashir’s reference to “synaptic pattern displacement never being done by a non-Vulcan” was a reference to Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, when Spock’s consciousness afflicted McCoy.
- Admin note: Despite this having a date of Sun 18 May, this was actually published on Mon 19 May – got too busy on Sunday and had to do this on Monday along with Monday’s regular episode.

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Deep Space Nine Ep 9 - The Passenger - 22 Feb 1993 2/2 his death to escape - kind of a reverse murder mystery. Odo has to defend his security procedures - a nice B plot. I did like the way the plots came together in end. Random: Quark & Odo are a killer 1/2 combination.
