Dr Bashir's new holosuite character helps Odo with his love life.
I think some of the DS9 writers and producers must have been closet bobby-soxers given the tribute they make to Frank Sinatra with the character Vic Fontaine. I think to fully enjoy the episode you need an affection or at least an appreciation for this aspect of the story. If you do not, it might be time you never get back.
DS9 hinted at and directly addressed the potential relationship between Odo and Kira for several seasons in the build up to what is a pretty lighthearted affair. It is not without good moments banter and cleverness, but for me it is not how I would have envisaged these characters connecting. Personally, I think it should have developed out of a more dramatic and meaningful experience than leisure time in the holodeck. In fact I would have been equally satisfied if the characters were kept to a very strong friendship, as arguably the relationship never needed needed a romantic element. Others may disagree.
Visually the filmmakers create a very good Vegas lounge atmosphere that is enhanced by the music.
All actors are on great form, especially Rene Auberjonois, Nana Visitor and James Darren.
