I often wondered why the felt the need to pretty much destroy the character of Ro Laren. I mean they could have just let her go with out us needing to know what happened to her. I thought this episode kind of sucked because you had a strong lady who fought against all kinds of odds to clear her name, and then she goes and screws up again at the end. Were people wanting her to be in DS9 so badly that she wanted an episode to say she didn't want to be in Star Trek anymore? Sometimes I think the writers just over think things.


How many of us would have cared if we didn't see Ro Laren again? Sure she was a good character but I think a fade out would have been better then a "kill her off." Which is essentially what happened.

Wow. This is going back a bit but I too distinctly remember being annoyed by this.
