I don't know if it's genuinely that unmemorable or if it just came across that way to me, because (due to the massive delays in Trek being shown over here in the 90s) by the time I saw the episode, I already knew the stuff in it wouldn't really matter for the long term.I actually do remember the S2 opening, and specifically that Kai Wynn was absolutely tied to the coup and got away with it. One of those things hanging over the character in a rewatch, if she could get away with it, she'd have you killed.
I think I can talk about it now as it was nearly ten years ago - I was at an event in Sheffield he was attending, and he was spat on by a college student. It came out later that this was not because he was Nick Clegg and tuition fees or whatever, but because he was a man in a suit and the perpetrator had no idea who he was.What is the long Nick Clegg story?
I hope I managed to get across just how much people (mainstream people, not randos on the proto-internet) were shocked by the core concept of DS9 at the time, which seems little discussed now. I always think back to that when you see stuff about, say, Discovery (or The Last Jedi for Star Wars etc.) which is really a storm in a teacup in terms of numbers by comparison, it's just that the internet amplifies loud voices.
It did give good background and set up for Winn as a key antagonist for later seasons, although I'm not sure if that was planned way back thenThe Circle on DVD-Watch felt like the show pulling a pin on the Bajoran plots, so the post-conflict state has a coup, so it could dial them back later as it had finally figured out where it wanted to take the wormhole plots.
