Kira must confront her own feelings about justice and retribution while Sisko and Odo scramble to research the prisoner\u2019s past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thoughts:<\/strong> I thought I would like this episode as soon as I saw that it features Kira and a Cardassian. I was right!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Cardassian, Marritza, is played by Harris Yulin, who has 127 IMDB credits in film and television, and a stage career as well. He\u2019s one of those actors who is familiar although you don\u2019t know his name. I know him best from playing Quentin Travers, head of the Watcher\u2019s Council, in three episodes of <em>Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/em> (1997-2003). He\u2019s terrific here, making scenes work beautifully that maybe shouldn\u2019t work at all. I\u2019d give him an Emmy in a heartbeat. As best as I can tell from IMDB, Yulin has never won an acting award, but received one Emmy nomination, for a 1993 guest turn on <em>Frasier<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Marritza is giving Kira a hard time about wanting vengeance more than the truth, I was thinking, I believe in justice, so I believe, like Kira, in prosecution for war crimes. The death penalty, not so much. Sisko would be within his rights to refuse to extradite Marritza to Bajor without a guarantee against execution, much like the prevailing policy in Europe, Canada, and other advanced nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But then it gets more complicated, and keeps finding new levels. So good! Only slightly marred by an oversimple ending. I thought 24th century medicine is pretty good at treating stab wounds? I once saw Crusher rebuild Worf\u2019s spine out of what looked like plaster of Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What did you think? I say 5 out of 5 exceptional file clerks.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/memory-alpha.wikia.com\/wiki\/Duet_(episode)\" class=\"embedly-card\" data-card-recommend=\"0\" data-card-width=\"100%\">http:\/\/memory-alpha.wikia.com\/wiki\/Duet_(episode)<\/a><script async src=\"\/\/cdn.embedly.com\/widgets\/platform.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n      ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>        1.19 &#8212; \u201cDuet\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[18],"class_list":["post-5219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-star-trek-relive-the-majesty-ds9-episode-threads","tag-kevin-black"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5219"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5219\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
