Rao Vantika

Story: The Passenger
Written By: Morgan Gendel, Robert Hewitt Wolfe and Michael Piller
Series: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Year: 1993

This episode is solidly executed, but has a script that could have easily been in TNG. I think it works because instead of being a standard TNG script with characters that were now getting a bit stale we have it with the fresh faces of DS9. (I still love TNG’s cast, but by this time they were in their sixth year, and DS9 is in its first).
So it is a sort of standard Trek mystery, nothing special to report, but it is enjoyable to watch and solidly written and well executed.
