Removal of Tags

Please note that it is highly inappropriate to remove maintenance tags that are applicable to an article without making an attempt to fix the problems, and while it might be "drive-by tagging" to tag an article for problems without fixing them, there is no policy that prohibits such, and it does call the problems to the attention of other editors. This article desperately needs improvement...or to be merged or re-directed...and removing the tags will not help it receive the maintenance it needs. Cheers.

I recommend that anyone with concerns regarding the notability tag review WP:TVEP. Doniago (talk) 19:52, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Omittances

The ending of this episode is correctly described as: Major Kira justifying her concealment of her betrayal to Odo upon the fact that she didn't want to jeopardize her and Odos friendship, to which Odo replies "Maybe it doesn't have to".

I would like to point out the film-noir setting of this episode and how it greatly adds to the storytelling and feel of ST:DS9. I know this is intentional and is an exceptional choice for this sort of melodrama set in the future.Dirt290 (talk) 10:04, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
