In terms of drama, power, intrigue, and excitement, DS9 season 6 reminds us of the sheer greatness of Star Trek and why it is still unrivaled in the history of science fiction television.
This episode just tries to accomplish too much, and in doing so, shortchanges almost everything. There are possibilities here, but few that generate real excitement; and death, when it comes, leaves everything looking hollow by comparison.
In the end, straddling the line between comedy and serious drama does Profit And Lace no favours, being neither humorous nor engaging. What we're left with is the worst episode of the best Trek series.
[Profit and Lace] is a slapstick portrayal of women ripped straight from the era that contained the very beliefs that this episode is supposed to be condemning.
