Armageddon Game! Why is it an Armageddon Game? Well, I guess Julian and Miles O'Brien shoot their way out of an ambush. And then O'Brien gets sick with a super virus. And then they have to hole up somewhere. And then Julian and Miles start to trauma-bond. So, yeah! Armageddon Game. Yup.

Homeward! After seven seasons, we finally get to meet Worf's long-talked-about brother. And it turns out he's... a Goodfella? Who's running around f***ing natives? And wants to get away with it? But Ricardo still thinks it's a ten outta ten?! What's going on here?!

Rivals! What is even happening in this episode? There's some sort of luck machine? Julian and Miles O'Brien play raquetball? Why are we spending so much time on Chris Sarandon?! Is this literally an episode of nothing but filler?!?!?!
