So I just watched this episode for the very first time. It’s amazing. I’m always interested in media that uses meta-fiction, and I guess outside of this and the couple of Benny Russell appearances, I haven’t seen meta-fiction used in DS9 (admittedly, I haven’t seen all of DS9 yet). Are there any good examples in other Trek?
Also, while I loved this episode and John Ford, I have to disagree with the writers… Shane is a better movie that the Searchers. Come at me.
