They're not just any cadets...they're Red Squad. Our series Red Squad, is based on this, as it focuses on the new cadets of Red Squad. Cool eh?

The problem with these cadets is their superior ethos and lack of experience, perfectly demonstrated in the speech Jake Sisko delivers. Seasoned officers would have recognised the futility of attacking such a powerful ship and returned the intelligence they had gathered to Starfleet Command.

These are kids playing at being Officers with disastrous if not inevitable consequences. Pretty much summed up by Nog's evaluation at the end. Makes for a damned good episode though.

I'm heavily divided on the episode, myself. If I were Nog, I'd say; following the introductions, "As the most senior officer here, minus your brevet, I hereby assume command of the USS Valiant. You stand relieved. Make a note in the log." But that wouldn't have addressed the episode's point of command responsibility though.

I'm not sure they would have accepted that either, being aware of how self important those kadets were.

Probably not, and it would have made a short episode too XD

Very true lol

I've seen many people and articles hate on this episode, though I am not sure why. Maybe it's not the strongest story ever told, but it sure is something every young person (and older) needs to be refreshed on...there's courage, and then there's....stupidity...especially if your captain is a druggie. But I digress. Overall, this is a strong episode in my book, and the amazing special effects only add to the flavor.
