- Quotes
Chief O'Brien: It wasn't until I got to the Cardassian Front I found out I had talents I never knew I had... It was a matter of figuring out how to get a field transporter operational in ten minutes, or wind up being a Cardassian prisoner of war. Now, I didn't know a transporter from a turbolift in those days; but somehow, in 9min 53sec, I got that thing to work.

Featured review
Planet of the Luddites.
In the early 19th century, a group of artisans found their way of life threatened by new technologies--particularly when it came to weaving. So, in reaction, many of these so-called 'Luddites' went on an anti-technology crusade--destroying new equipment and seeking the old ways. Today, the term generally refers to anyone who is anti-technology--just like the planet where O'Brien and Sisko crash. Here they find a group of humans who have rejected technology and have created a simpler agrarian lifestyle. It seems idyllic...at first. However, soon it becomes obvious that this settlement is being run by a very controlling and strange woman who will do anything to ensure that the two follow their lifestyle as well. Can the pair manage to escape the clutches of this cult-like settlement?
I really liked this episode. It was creepy but also an interesting look at cult-like groups. Well worth seeing and pretty mind- blowing.
