PATRON TIER LIST - DS9 S1E12 - Vortex

It would be a C, but for the Odo character building. An okay C with good bits. But a Odo boosts it to the next level

RIP Rene A - he was able to emote with that head mask in an amazing way

C-Tier. I've watched season 1 in full twice over the years. I had no memory of this episode at all. Season 1 does feel like generic space opera at times. This could easily have been a Buck Rodgers story.

Good character development episode for Odo, but the rest of it is a little dull. As per Josh's comment about the show using Quark too much, his bar is basically the central hub of the station, so he is used far more than Guinan for example. I expect you'll enjoy/enjoyed the following episodes a bit more as I don't think they feature Quark as much if I remember correctly.

The Miradorn/Quark stuff is C-tier, but anything Odo-related is at least A-tier. So, that makes it a B.
