“The Circle” is back and they’re still drawing all over the walls

The writers are trying a little too hard to be clever, but we get a good sense of the characters in this scene

Bareil shows up and asks if Kira wants to hang out in his garden

Kira sucks at putting rocks in a row. She says she was never very good at “art.”

Bareil is kind of creepy in this episode

He shows her the orb of prophecy. Is it gonna be foreshadowing to all the cool conflicts to come? What’s in the Gamma quadrant? War?…

…or just an upcoming romance. That’s not as exciting

Quark: “We gotta leave. I do anyway. You can just turn into a couch”

Odo turns into a mouse and finds out the Cardassians are supplying The Circle with weapons!

Kira is captured. Jaro turns out to be in charge of The Circle

Sisko plans a rescue mission for Kira

Two Bajoran security guys get shot

Bashir gets shot too, but it doesn’t bother him too much

Jaro schemes with Winn. He’ll do what he can to make her Kai

Admiral Chakotay? A civil war breaks out on Bajor but he says Sisko isn’t allowed to interfere
