We’ve made it to the DS9 episodes in our Three’s a Good Number series and already they are blowing every other series out of the water with the Season 1 heavy hitter “Duet.” We can’t stress how amazing it is that DS9 got so good so fast, with stellar performances showcasing powerful monologues about guilt, genocide, and terrorism. “Duet” brings all of this and more while also being tightly scripted and well-paced, which checks all our boxes for a good episode. Emmanuel makes some insightful points, Laura brings in some historical comparisons to dictatorships in Latin America and Spain, and we also briefly discuss Odo in a thong.
