5.0 out of 5 stars
Our Show DS9, July 5, 2001
This review is from: Star Trek - Deep Space Nine, Episode 82: Our Man Bashir [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Star Trek has had its share of holodeck episodes. At times this has been tiresome and formulaic, but I think this is probably the best holodeck episode ever produced. If you like the spy genre, you'll love it that much more. Avery Brooks, Nana Visitor, Colm Meaney, Terry Farrell and Michael Dorn take turns as characters in a James Bond-esque fantasy realm. Brooks is electrifying, you mostly forget he's Sisko. The interaction between Garak and Bashir adds to the fun, especially with Garak making wry comments like "Kiss the girl, get the key. They didn't teach us that in the Obsidian order." Buy it, you'll watch it a thousand times. I know I have.

Great 007 parody, February 18, 2001
This review is from: Star Trek - Deep Space Nine, Episode 82: Our Man Bashir [VHS] (VHS Tape)
While it's ultimately another rehash of the tired old Trek storyline of holodeck playtime turning into a no-escape live-fire exercise, it's also an excellent spoof of the secret agent genre. Garak is almost constantly chastising Bashir for romanticizing his old job as an intelligence operative, while Bashir is just looking to have a good time. Also, the names of the female characters are just straight out of earlier Bond movies, like Mona Luvsitt ("loves it"), Anastasia Komananov ("come on and off") and Honey Bare.

Great fun, with real substance., November 4, 2000
This review is from: Star Trek - Deep Space Nine, Episode 82: Our Man Bashir [VHS] (VHS Tape)
If you're a fan of Garak and/or Bashir, you *must* own this episode. They're both in top form here, and the campy '60s spy setting leads to a realistic battle of wills. The other regulars are obviously having a fabulous time getting into their holosuite roles, and good old Rom gets a chance to shine too.
