Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ended in 1999 after 7 seasons but didn't jump into feature films like The Next Generation. Here's why.

@Melco @mosiacmango The amount of mockery and opprobrium this episode has gotten over the years is entirely justified.

However what I don't think is justified is the label as one of the worst Star Trek episodes. Is it nuts? Yes. Is it annoying that they have the technology to bring everyone back to Earth and simply de-lizard them after the trip, and then it's never brought up again? Also yes.

But it's nowhere near the worst episodes because it's neither offending and un-Star Trek (like TNG's Code of Honor) nor is it boring. It's actually pretty entertaining for the first 35 or so minutes. It just goes off the rails at the end.

Paris is genuinely entertaining in it. The look of perverse amusement as he pops his own tongue off, total brilliance. It’s the exact amount of goofy that the premise demands.
