Misuse, to quote another user, it’s for “ "for ignored characters with good potential who never receive the spotlight", not for complaining that a certain character was not used in a way fans would have liked.”


* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: PTSD is a major part of the episode, with the troops on AR-558 suffering from shell-shock from the get-go. This would be an excellent opportunity for Ezri to show off her counseling skills, but she spends the episode playing Jadzia Jr, helping out with engineering and science problems.

Recap Pages shouldn't spoil things that happen after the recapped episode.


* {{Anvilicious}}: [[WarIsHell War is, indeed, hell.]] And if by some chance this episode didn't drive that point home enough, [[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS07E10ItsOnlyAPaperMoon a PTSD-ridden Nog will drive it home even further two episodes later.]]
* HarsherInHindsight: For all the sacrifices to defend AR-558. the Dominion will eventually retake the system in 'The Changing Face of Evil'.
** Possibly {{subverted}}. At the start of the following episode "When It Rains..." a tactical map (see [[http://www.lcars.org.uk/lcars_a203.htm here]]) appears to show the AR-558 relay inside Federation lines, suggesting they somehow managed to relocate the relay out of the system before the Dominion retook it.

Per clean up thread, can only apply to whole seasons or shows, not individual episodes.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: This episode, even more than [[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS05E04NorTheBattleToTheStrong "Nor the Battle To the Strong"]], does ''not'' shy away from the horrors of war, leading some to see the episode as too heavy in its content and feel that, yes, SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped — but not '''that''' hard.
