I'm sure DS9 is a good show with some smart scripts. I just can't get past the silly looking aliens represented with bumpy prosthetics on their faces. My favorite sci fi have little to no aliens in them. I prefer human drama because I just don't think "Hollywood" creates many credible looking aliens.
That episode is right up that alley, then.
It is a VERY human drama that just happens to take place on a futuristic space station.
Nana Visitor tends to play to the balcony in her acting style, but it is more than balanced out by the gleeful scenery-chewing opponent.
(But, yeah, those makeups... yikes.)
Nana is a good actor, as is Avery, but their style of acting in DS9 is for a play, in a large theater, not TV or film. I am sure the producers gave the approval to go ahead and "CHEW". As often as I have tried it pushes me right out of the episodes. The ones with a lot less, or no Avery and less or no Nana are more watchable. A lot of the other regular cast have better tempered performances for certain. A lot of time the DS9 nerds say that the show is the best this or that, or ages better, but, well, it seems VERY stuck in the 90's to me.

Avery took Shatner’s ham fisted acting style and said, “Hold my beer!”
