S.3, Ep. 5: Second Skin
Kira gets a weird call about records of her from a Cardassian prison on Bajor, then wakes up on Cardassia Prime looking like a Cardassian.
Pretty good: Nana Visitor plays this sort of thing so well.

So decision time in my Trek rewatch.
I guess I'm watching Voyager.
The beginning is frustrating: there are so many great directions they could have gone with it.
(But. It gets better.)

S.3, Ep. 4: Equilibrium
Yet another Jadzia Dax ep where she gets sidelined (this time by a Trill disorder caused by a host she can't remember)
Lots of Avery Brooks, though, which is always good. And most of the scenes between Dax and Bashir from here out are oddly...nice.

Kay Nielsen (1886-1957) was a Danish illustrator who haunted our dreams in Fantasia. His Art Deco style graced fairy tale collections, where he highlighted the strangeness of fantasy realms, and sat with their grimmest edges: realms to be approached with caution.

Like the first season finale, this ep sets up the beginning of next season.

It's Kira's turn to solve a mystery and figure out who gave info to Cardassians on a rebel base many years ago.

Been rewatching DS9 and my main takeaway is that I would listen to Avery Brooks read car maintenance instructions for hours.
Also, if the Dominion invaded that planet where everyone is holographic, they coulda titled that episode "Jem'Hadar and the Holograms"

I tend to side-eye "wellness" proponents, but I went to a library program on it, and when someone mentioned working full-time, the wellness speaker just said, "Yeah, I don't really recommend that for...anybody." So true.

The proper response to finding a holodeck program where the people on your starship are fighting or taking part in a mutiny is absolutely to:
1) play it
2) tell all your friends so they can play it
all the while
3) half-heartedly trying to keep it a secret from the captain
