I always liked this episode very much. Kind of like the episode Tin man. In my view Honor amongst thieves is a story about loneliness and about friendship and making hard choices. I love that Chester the cat is this man's best friend. I don't see a problem with that. Someone said this is not Star Trek. I beg to differ. This is science fiction and the story is fundamentally about the human condition. That is for me the very definition of Star Trek. I have watched this episode many times and I'm always moved by it. O'Brian is a good man and he is perfect for this role. The Orion syndicate man he befriends plays his part very well and it's believable. I also love cats, so there you have it.
