Eh.
I thought that this whole episode was structured like a soap opera in space, but without love interests, amnesia, and long-lost lovers. Instead we had Dude who lies and says he's someone, so we think he's lying, because he CAN'T be who he says he is...then he says he is someone else, but we think he's lying again, because he CAN'T be that guy who died 6 years ago, but he says that he's finally telling the truth, so he has to be...but then he says he's that other guy again, but he really wants to be the second guy...but he needs to be the first guy to make peace, but he needs to be the second guy to please his own mind...
Oh. My. God. It is so melodramatic..."Major" (with the wrinkly nose?) starts fake crying within the second scene because she--sniff--can't stand the thought of all those--sniff--people being hurt, and--sniff--it just hurts her inside.
I appreciate the basic moral that is finally presented in the end when he is to be released...like how there needs to be at least one good Cardassian (?) to change things, or set an example, etc., but the rest of the episode came across like a Disney Channel movie.
Didn't enjoy it a whole lot.
