Notes
- The second and final appearance of Ron Taylor’s Klingon Chef. He had previously appeared in “The Abandoned“.
- Rule of Acquisition mentioned – #112 – “Never have sex with the boss’s sister”.
- Pakleds are shown as unspeaking background characters on the promenade again in this episode.
- The last line of dialogue in this episode was “I’m not Curzon” (spoken by Jadzia). Those three lines appear to sum up the entire episode in one go.

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Deep Space Nine Ep 36 - Playing God - 28 Feb 1994 2/2 down pests left over by the Cardassians that's just "eh". Nothing really wrong with this ep, but it's mostly about Dax's headspace and how Dax's initiate seems inadequate. The "vole stuff" didn't do anything for me.
