I agree with those who say that Odo's action here is very unforgiving. Even if you love someone to death, would you sacrifice 8000 people for that person? I really like this episode, I especially like the scene where Worf and the klingons come to help with sowing. I do not especially care for the Odo character. He seems kind of insane. If I was Kira I would never have trusted Odo again. But who knows how we would act in similar circumstances? I have watched this episode several times, and it's always good to revisit. That's a sign of a really good episode. Wish you the very best, fellow human being, star dust creature, ape.
