Does O.C. have an episode with cannibals?

I thought this was 90210 in space, according to all the haters. Can anyone tell me in which episode of 90210 the cannibals try to eat everyone?

Thought this was a fantastic episode, the setup was good with the practice mission. Not the biggest fan of another sudden ambush after the pilot episode, but I think it worked well enough. Crazy that they actually killed someone from the main supporting cast, but at least it wasn't Kyle.

My biggest complaint were probably the action scenes. It's just a fast blurry mess of dark to me.

Oh and I thought B'avi was called Bobby.

But it wasn't consistent in Deep Space 9 already, within a couple of seasons, sometimes episodes.

That it's not consistent what Trill remember and what not. Sometimes Dax knows everything about her former hosts, sometimes nothing. Sometimes the hosts are important, sometimes the symbiont.

How could you forget about Keiko! Lol

I remember an early (season 2?) DS9 episode where Sisko had to remind Dax that one of her previous hosts had a specific skill which they needed in that situation, but Dax was like "Oh yeah you're right." So either these memories are so deep in their subconsciousness or... I don't know.

As I said, I don't like the Trill as a concept and they were regularly my least favourite episodes in DS9.

My understanding is that only the religious leaders of Bajor could feel it, if it even was possible to feel it. So some college student shouldn't be able to do it anyway.

The Pagh thing to me just looked like it was a traditional form of a greeting with no real meaning behind it.

It's just something I read on reddit. maybe the "certain degree" was "he read the script and did not object". Maybe they meant this: https://screenrant.com/star-trek-starfleet-academy-avery-brooks-sisko-voice-cameo/

Lofton: ... And so throughout the step-by-step process of this episode developing, he was aware of it. I had his blessing, and I was happy to get the opportunity to do this love story for Sisko.

Newton: ... Ciroc got a phone call, and it was Mr. Brooks, and it was out of the blue. And he was able to put me and Kerrice both on the phone with them, and I won't share the details of the conversation, but what I got to witness was Mr. Brooks unequivocally handing the reins over to Kerrice, to this younger generation.

I totally agree with her that DS9 is a very overlooked series, especially compared to TOS (basically got DIS season 1 and 2 and SNW), TNG (Picard and LD) and Voyager (Prodigy? Not sure, only watched the beginning so far) which all got spinoffs of sorts. But DS), despite being called the best Trek series very often? Nada.

I think using Dax as a link is a clever idea (because they transcend time), and she plays the role well, but I just don't like the Trill because it's never quite clear how much they remember from past hosts. Then there's this thing where they meet all their previous hosts, and if you lived for a thousand years, this is just gonna take a year now lol
