The Defiant goes through a temporal anomaly and crash lands on a planet to make a shocking discovery.
This is a strong episode with a good sci-fi concept and character moments.
The plot has a great "what if" time-bending premise that hooks you immediately into the situation. This leads on to an interesting dilemma that is moderately compelling when you know everything will be back to normal by the end of the episode. However, there is a very good reveal at the end that gives the resolution somewhat of a dark edge.
There are some contrived elements of the plot and some clunky dialogue sequences, but they all serve the premise, so for me this can be forgiven.
Many characters get the opportunity to shine, such as Odo, Kira, Worf and Dax. All actors are on great form, especially Rene Auberjonois.
The visuals are great, with a good mix of outdoor and studio shots.
