I've been waiting for you to be shocked in "For The Cause" when Eddington just hoses Kira with that phaser! SUP-RISE! Kassidy had a good storyline as well, but we FINALLY get to show you the REAL Michael Eddington. Ain't he the coolest?

"I'd forgotten about the Maquis." Well they didn't forget about you :-)

The Muse to me, is 50/50. Agree with you, the plot between Lwaxana and Odo is enjoyable, I love the friendship between them, she slowly breaks through the protective shell he keeps around himself. But the B plot with Jake and the telepath woman is rather tedious. As for the whole Marquis scenario, the hypocrisy from the Federation is unbelieveable. Eddington says "If Cassidy is part of the Maquis, then she is no longer part of the Federation." If that's so, anything Cassidy does is nothing to do with the Federation, as long as they aren't attacking Federation vessels, it's not the Federation's business. It's simply not the Federation's fight. Even if you keep the morals of occupying another planet out of it. Especially as Cassidy is suppling food and medical supplies, it's not as if Cassidy's ship is directly attacking Federation vessels!

The thing I respect about the Star Trek franchise is their casting is consistently amazing, specifically casting really good character actors across the franchise's history. Meg Foster as the alien of the week in The Muse comes to mind. But Patrick Stewart, Lawrence Tierney, Armin Shimerman, Louise Fletcher, Jeffrey Combs, J.G. Hertzler. The 90s Star Trek franchise alone stands out to me for consistently giving character actors like these recurring roles.

Ahhh, Eddington. Such a great reveal! Such a great episode overall. The “I’ll be back” and “I’ll be here” part always gets me 😢

It's sad that Odo's feelings toward Lwaxana, being legitimate and sincere as they are, are based on platonic love and personal development rather than the romantic love he feels toward Kira. All in all, it shows that Odo is not only capable of love but nuanced enough to distinguish between different types of love.

Jeyal was played by Michael Ansara, the same actor who played Kang in 'Blood Oath' and episodes of TOS and Voyager.

I have a feeling this is "Spring ball" not "Racket ball". They are very, very similar (and use the same set, redressed) but Spring Ball is specifically Bajoran. Since It's two Bajorans playing, my guess is it's Spring Ball. Racket Ball uniforms are different - no masks etc and is more like Squash. Spring Ball is a contact sport.

Remember in Improbable Cause/The Die is Cast when Eddington went behind Sisko back to sabotage the Defiant to stop them going after Odo and Garek and after he said to Sisko "I give you my word" and Sisko was like "I never question the word of someone wearing that uniform" Bang! Hit Sisko right in the gut. Also at the end of Season 3 when they talked about how Eddington was a security officer and had no interest in anything else... Playing the long game!

And take into consideration that Sisko promoted Eddington between seasons! He's now a Lt. Commander. He never could have pulled off this replicator heist without that promotion.

PRODUCTION & CONTINUITY PROBLEMS: THE MUSE (IMDb Rating: 5.7) The opening shot of the arriving transport comes from "The Seige". 5:08 In "The Visitor" Jake is also writing his novel on a padd numbered 4747 and the text is the same. This isn't an error. It's just an amazing bit of continuity. FOR THE CAUSE (IMDb Rating: 7.9) 26:57 Ziyal looks a bit different than the last time we saw her. 26:38 When the shot cuts to Sisko here, there is some missing dialog that still remains in the close captioning: Jake: "Hey, I'm being polite. You're the guest" Cassidy: "Guest, not guinea pig, Jake." (This has been removed on my DVD.) 35:30 When Eddington stuns Kira, she appears to be standing straight, but when the angle changes, her legs are bent when she falls backwards.

18:01 - Technically, the Odo/Lwaxanna story is the B-story since the episode's title is "The Muse", which is totally about Jake's story.

I always took Lwaxana's final message to odo as her seeing he was starting to think he was in love with her and her not being in love with him so she gave him the gentle lie that swapped perspectives. She let him down easy and caring and letnhim keep his pride. It was beautiful as it was heart breaking.

If you want a preview of/get a feel for Star Trek Voyager, you can watch its [S4 Ep 14, Message in a Bottle] at any point between [DS9-S5 Ep16 and S6 Ep19].

14:53 I never noticed until I watched this, this time, how the music for about 4 seconds sounds like Zelda A Link to the Past, when you are in the temple and the hand keeps coming down and grabbing you.

Y'know, it's funny- I can't stand Lwaxana on TNG- where she's used as comedy relief- but I love her on DS9, where she's used dramatically. It would have been interesting to see Deeana Troi meet Odo. I'm certain her mother would have told her all about him.

Was gonna make a sarcastic comparison to TNG but fact is, a lot of random aliens of the week on TNG were boring too. (Some good ones, probably better batting average than DS9 for that type of episode...maybe...) Annnyway I actually felt happy when it turned out the B plot (arguably) of "The Muse" was the third Lwaxana episode, and THAT definitely didn't happen on TNG haha. It is sort of riding off the success of that first episode quite a bit, and every rule of the alien-we-never-heard-of society's marriage customs is blatantly written backwards from the dramatic conclusion of the episode, but it's still got that Odo-Lwaxana sweetness.

Do you remember all those episodes ago when Cassidy was introduced and you joked what if she turned out to be a bad guy? :D

Cheers for the reaction Ollie. I think Huxley almost made an inadvertent appearance in DS9, so give them my best wishes ;) The Marquee are quite interesting in Star Trek. They don't come across as villains. And while some label Eddington as a traitor, as I think our DS9 captain does, many might suggest he genuinely stands up for his beliefs. The conflict between the Marquee and Starfleet is dealt with a little in the early episodes of Star Trek Voyager. The Muse is interesting, suggesting a force could inspire good writing but also be damaging. Perhaps it's a allegory is the idea of madness and creativity going together (I'm not saying that's the case, just that it might be the inspiration). Anyhow, at least we didn't have to watch O'Brian suffer in either of these episodes! Glad you're still enjoying DS9, and good luck with your channel and patreon.

Damn you, Michael Eddington! #EddingtonWasRight

( Eddington appears ) "Dude i'm so glad he's back" Ooops

I like Jake as a supporting character for Benjamin Sisko, but episodes based around him usually bore me to tears. The Visitor is probably the only exception, the only one I can think of anyway, and it's mainly because of the other actor who plays an older Jake.

I knew I recognized those eyes from somewhere. Had to look it up of course. The muse was Meg Foster from They Live and also Evil-Lyn in Masters of the Universe.

6:02 Odo to Lwaxana: "I was wondering if you wanted to take a walk" Worf: "I would." 🤣😂 I think Rene messed up his line here and no one caught it. It makes more sense if he had said, "I was wondering if you would like to take a walk."

Two of Ollie's favorite / least favorite characters making big moves. I knew that Kasidy running supplies to the Maquis would be a disappointment, but Eddington taking off his com badge, leaving his post at DS9 and being a Maquis sleeper agent? Who knew, right?

And the way he just HOSES Kira with the phaser! Just shows that he's really not a bad guy- he could have done anything on the station but just chose to zap Kira, steal the replicators and split with style. Being a Stargate fan, it's weird thinking anyone would want to steal Replicators though!

I had pretty much forgotten the Garak subplot in this episode. Perhaps the time has come for me to rewatch DS9 myself.

I always felt like Odo's declaration of love speech in The Muse was his articulating his feelings for Kira. Like he'd thought long and hard about what to say, but could never say it to Kira- so he told Leaxana instead.

"he is predictable" - muahahaha! :D

Odo's constitution is completely different, being a metamorph, he's not affected by Solids' telepathic abilities. It's also what attracts Lwaxana to him. She can't read him and he can surprise her, something that most humanoïd males can't. And thus, Odo is the only person she's sincere and upfront with, which is a nice change from her usual narcissistic and manipulative self that we witness in TNG. The Muse lady makes me think of the Borg Queen for some reason. Same species? Odo's vows speech was not far from how my grandfather was retaling what his wife represented to him and what he lost after she passed away. That didn't prevent him of cheating on her while he was abroad. Interesting fact; they changed Zyal's actress because of the more mature content that the character is now exposed to. The former actress was then legally too young to be involved in such plots. Oh Eddington, never could stand him, so smug, formal and ultimately treacherous. Thus begins the Jean Valjean/Javère relationship between Eddington and Sisko ! (If you haven't read Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. Another good epic from him; '93, that takes place during the French Revolution (referencing the year 1793) Eddington's speech abouyt the Federation kinda reminds me of what I think of the EU to be honest.

Are Sisko and Michael Eddington best friends now?

I remember Jake was writing about the Federation/Cardassian De-militarized zone in a earlier season. I wonder if that was part of the story.

Just think, Odo and Quark have both done a sham marriage that kinda ended with their loving their wives. At this rate, Odo will open a bar and Quark will become a cop...

For those creative types among us who've entertained a muse in any of its many forms, The Muse is such a relatable episode, even if only symbolically and anthropomorphized.

He's coming up on "Trials and...." from the beginning of Season 5. I just checked Paramount Plus, and the thumbnail and tag gives the whole thing away. Someone has to let him know to get someone else to play the episode for him!

The Klingon's biggest issue with the Federation is their "we come in peace" mentality. They see it as a lie, that the federation wages war through cultural assimilation. Especially if you join Starfleet. Its such a fascinating angle to examine.

Hard Time is an EXCELLENT EPISODE I wholeheartedly agree. It's an episode that stays with you WAY PAST actually watching the episode. It's THAT POWERFUL.

I was always a little put out by the implication that Jake had help writing "Anslem". We know it was his most famous book -- did he just go downhill from there? I would have thought it came later in life after he got more (other)worldly experience.

She’s not Star Fleet, let alone one of Sisko’s officers. Yes, she deceived him, but she had, as she put it, “obligations” she took extremely seriously, and she was fulfilling those commitments. Only a narcissist would feel personally betrayed in these circumstances…and the universe doesn’t revolve around Benjamin Sisko. Entertaining as usual. Sit on your hands. But nice work.

I agree the Garak/Ziyal stuff is....offputting. Rumour has it that after the heavy on-screen tension between Garak and Bashir became more evident, the showrunner Rick Bernham wanted to make it clear that Garak was in no way interested in Bashir that way and forced this weird romance with Ziyal. Why Ziyal and not someone his age? I assume Bernham also had a say in that.

I don't think Odo is effected by Betazoid powers because he doesn't have a brain, strictly speaking. I mean, he can obviously think and is highly intelligent, but however that works within a changeling is wrapped up in their liquid, shape-shifting nature. He doesn't have a brain or a nervous system as we understand it. I think Betazoids need something akin to a humanoid brain to actually use their powers on.
