I was floored by this episode. For Sisko to go back in time and play a character with such integrity and grit, showing his chops, is wonderful. Of course, the real attraction is to see virtually the entire crew in 1950's street clothes. The one I couldn't get over was the guy who plays Quark. The characters in the magazine office maintained their personalities, even though they were not on a space station. Plus, the ugly portrayals of racism are so real. I loved the use of the normal bad guys as power hungry police. It all worked so admirably.
