1* BizarroEpisode: The surrealism of this episode is very different from the more somber tone of the preceding ones. And while the series will keep on doing occasional comedic episodes in later seasons, they're mostly based on character interaction, not on weird imagery and incomprehensible alien customs.
2* NarmCharm:
3** The Allamaraine scene has some actual humor to it. Dax and Bashir sing the song like they're reciting a formula, and Kira looks like she's ready to kill something. Sisko just rolls with it and shows off his lovely singing voice. Oddly enough, Creator/AveryBrooks (Sisko) was the one actor of the four who was not happy about doing such a ridiculous scene.
4** Quark's pathetic groveling and pleading on his knees to not be forced to pick a crewmember to sacrifice. Shimerman's acting is so dedicated that it manages to make the humiliating display actually somewhat touching.
5** Joel Brooks gives a great performance as Falow, the lead Wadi. From his rude impatience with the diplomatic formalities ("Where are the ''games?''") to his sleazy touting of his treasures ("It has... many... ''uses!''") to his circus bombast while game-mastering chula ("''Allamaraine!!!''"), he's quite a lot of fun to watch.
6* SoBadItsGood: Considered by many to be one of the silliest episodes of the series, it has so much NarmCharm that it's a lot of fun.
