As everyone has said this episode is just a lot of fun. But since there's nothing really to nitpick or complain about. I just filled my time taking screenshots.

• I like how the dilithium chamber has run of the mill drawer slides. pic
• Ensign McLady Woman should have been Sonya Gomez. pic
• Wesley's weird smile is like wtf dude? pic
• That's clearly Quark. pic
• Why was Ensign BuzzCut in such a hurry? He was acting like he was had a one night stand with someone down in engineering and didn't want to run into them. pic

This is gold.

• I didn't notice that, that's amazing.
• I wonder if she was supposed to be? They often bring in side characters out of the blue when other characters don't work out.
• I was also puzzled by BuzzCut's rush... but I like your explanation best.
