For Star Trek nerds, this is an important episode that sets the stage for future Cardassian/Bajoran stories and the Ro character. It's a sign of how confident the storytelling of ST has become.

Very refreshing to see characters who are abrasive and not entirely professional. DS9 will also feature interesting characters with rough edges that don't always get along. Roddenberry probably would not approve, but I think it enriches the franchise, 8/10 seems spot-on.
It's a little too ham-fisted the way Ro wins Picard's trust, but there's at least one scene where Ro confides with Picard that I thought worked quite well. Some snappy dialogue with Guinan as well. I give it a B+ for interesting characters and political skulduggery.
