Meushell June 11, 2014 Share June 11, 2014 This is a fun episode. Sisko gets his baseball. O'Brien gets a new pet, sort of. I enjoyed Odo's reaction to Jake entering the holosuite. Odo amuses me. His need for order has him running around chasing emus. (I know he calls him something else, but come on, those are emus.) He also seems to take joy out of figment Quark being in a cell. I am assuming it was a figment, based on how we seen the powers work before. Figment Jadzia for example. I wonder if Odo realized it wasn't actually Quark. Poor Julian. Jadzia first assures him, then puts down the personality of her figment self. Julian's imagination seems pretty innocent. Figment Jadzia was fully clothed, in uniform even. Link to comment
Bryce Lynch June 15, 2014 Share June 15, 2014 This was one of my least favorite episodes in the series. I found the plot to be ridiculous. Bashir's figment of Dax was embarrassing and uncomfortable rather than funny. Also hard to buy that the pudgy nerd Buck Bokai was the greatest baseball player of all time. I guess it would explain why there were only 300 fans at the last World Series. 1 Link to comment
blueray June 15, 2014 Share June 15, 2014 I've always liked this episode. Sure its not one of the best episodes but it is always entertaining. I like the part when Odo is like "is something wrong with environment controls, it's snowing on the prominade". And yeah I think he realizes that wasn't actually Quark, since he knows he didn't lock him in there. 1 Link to comment
Bryce Lynch June 15, 2014 Share June 15, 2014 Have you seen pictures of Babe Ruth? Babe Ruth got heavy as he career went on but he has 6'2" and a powerfully built man. Buck Bokai was built like Barney Rubble. :) 1 Link to comment
iMonrey March 6, 2017 Share March 6, 2017 Yeah I thought this was another silly one, right up there with Move Along Home. It's fascinating in hindsight the show had such a unique premise and they couldn't figure out how to properly utilize it at first. There seems to be a repeated effort to write the show like TNG with different "adventures" each week. Makes me wonder if there was some sort of internal struggle behind the scenes over the direction of the show. I'd also be curious to know why baseball eventually died out and why Sisko is so enamored of a centuries-old sport nobody plays anymore. 1 Link to comment

I think they stated it was for the same reason baseball is declining in popularity IRL (as I understand it): too slow, too low scoring. Whether it is likely to die out any time is another matter. As to why Sisko is a fan - well, we know his dad is something of a fan of "antique" things (running a restaurant using "real" food instead of replicated, etc.) so maybe he got his son interested.
