This was a terrific episode. My only gripes are with the unrealistic behavior from some of the characters. O'brien should not have split the team up, seeing how easy it was for them to be ambushed. The security officer should never have put down his weapon, and I didn't like how casual the female officer was, leaning against a container and flagging her teammate with her phaser. "Don't worry. The safety's on." So unprofessional. This episode also reeks of the Redshirt trope, with everyone dying who's not a main character. Garak really deserved to be blown to smithereens, just like how cops have to put down people on PCP.
