Regarding the bonus material question about how the Bajoran underground would have known about the list. Its my belief that before Vaatrick was under suspicion by the underground for being a collaborator he would have had other Bajoran friends who were in the underground that Vaatrick might not have known were underground. They get wind of he may be a collaborator and investigate discovering the existence of the list in that investigation.

I was SO SURE he was going to end it with something about "Terok Nor"...

2024-06-19 23:25:18 +0000 UTCI think he didn't NEED a written list to remember 8 names, but he kept it so be able to say "if you do anything on me, there is a list with your names on it". That's probably why people knew there was a list too.

2024-06-19 07:28:54 +0000 UTCI think the point is we have repeatedly in Star Trek seen how much more advanced medicine is in the future. Neelix was revived after being dead for 18 hours (though that used Borg tech). So simply stabbing someone and then immediately declaring him dead seems incongrous.

2024-06-19 03:15:10 +0000 UTCDidn’t the wife blackmail the collaborators, hence the deposits in her account? That was her motivation.

2024-06-18 13:23:58 +0000 UTCNot justifying her behavior but yes, Kira was a rebel and she had to kill him so her cover was not blown, hence the name of the episode, “Necessary Evil.”

2024-06-18 11:55:54 +0000 UTCKnives are lethal on their own. In the chest, if the blade is plunged in and pierces the heart or pierces a lung in the back that can be fatal if immediate medical treatment is not applied. Even then it can be dicey. Knives can cause flesh wounds but not when they are plunged in.

2024-06-18 11:49:50 +0000 UTCGreat Odo episode! Part of the awesomeness of Star Trek is any genre works. The sci-fi is that the characters are on a space station or a starship or another planet. Usually cool sci-fi things are used. Also, You don’t need other cast members when you don’t need them. Rene & Nana were fantastic! This episode is one of the best of DS9.

2024-06-18 11:20:41 +0000 UTCAbout the fan ratings: I think what accounts for the discrepancy is that as a film noir, the episode doesn't really have a sci-fi premise. You could set Necessary Evil in occupied Paris in the 1940s without having to change much in the script, and it would still be a great episode. Some Star Trek fans, those who watch the series *for* the sci-fi premises, are going to miss that. Something similar probably impacts the fan ratings of the Ferengi episodes, which are often (but not exclusively) comedies.
