After embarrassing starfleet and doctors galaxy wide in 'Son's of Mogh', Julian Bashir gets redemption in this episode by encapsulating the principles and decency we place on the medical profession in a display of altruism for the victims of the plight.
Bashir takes the lead in the episode and demands that he provides aid and and comfort to the victims of the plight on this world. It's not even a topic of discussion whether or not he will help the society out and I appreciated that.
The subplot with Ekoria works extremely well at drawing out emotion. She's desperate to live long enough to have the baby and the actress has this innocence aura about here that really invests me in her welfare.
I also enjoyed the character (and performance) of Trevean ---- He's a man carrying a great weight and you can see he truly cares about his people but he has been broken by the plight to a point where optimism no longer exists within in and the only solution is to end life to prevent suffering. I was thinking over the ceremony that they have before life is ended and I find it to be completely righteous ---- When I am 150 years old and I am ready to die, I want to hang out with my friends and partake in what I love about life and just let go of live on my own terms.
Julian has created an immunization for an entire civilization and saved millions (?) from suffering and quite likely has saved the people from a future extinction due to low birth rate ----- Thus, all is forgiven for 'Son's of Mogh' and we can hug it out and move forward from here with no more mention of that.
