Was the intention for Eddington always for him to join the Maquis? Or was it added in later to serve as a personal antagonist for Sisko?
It was always the plan, from the moment he first appeared.

Our Man Bashir S4 E10
Saw this episode for the first time this week. There were so many little touches that made the episode a perfect parody of the Bond aesthetic. It payed tribute to classic James Bond (Sean Connery and it even teased the silly nature of Roger Moore's Bond).
Tumblr media
The opening sequence of a villain crashing through glass with a follow up KO by the champagne cork was a lovely campy tribute. It had a Our Man Flint with James Coburn vibe! Try those if you like Bond parodies.
Tumblr media
The Bondesque portrayal of Bashir works well. It both fits the desire he has to be heroic, to be more alluring and charismatic, and to take confidence in life outside the holosuite. Julian already is those things though. He just needs help realizing that sometimes. He was heroic in Hippocratic Oath when he stood for the lost Jem'Hadar. In his medical domain he is charismatic and in charge. All of his interactions with Garak show his subtle and alluring personality. He is on his journey of gaining confidence and with each passing episode he gains more self-esteem.
Tumblr media
We all were admiring Julian just like Garak is. Look at that sweet face. Garak recognizes Julian's chance at character growth as his spy persona. By taking him under his wing, Garak can help him develop as a man of mystery!
The clothing is also perfect. Fashion was nailed for a Bond film parody. The high class tuxedos and the casual sweaters! We only missed out on the incredibly short-short-short-swim-shorts that Sean Connery seemed to love.
Tumblr media
Miles as the main evil henchman was an excellent choice. Silly falcon eyepatch was just a bonus. It was nice to see a little spy gadget used by Bashir as well. Gotta have those!
Tumblr media
I will make of gif of it later, but Worf blew a genuine smoke ring at one point. The white tux also looked amazing. More Klingons should wear white! It would be great for battle too. Showcases all the blood of their enemies.
Tumblr media
Another A+ costume designed by the fabulous Trek Costume designers. The flair, the jewelry, all just works with that stunning Bajoran. She also played the Russian accent really well (not that I am an accent expert). Underneath this holosuite persona though we still enjoy Nana Visitor's warm smile. Nothing can stop her from making all our hearts melt!
Tumblr media
Dr. Honey Bare....of course there would be a silly name like that. I wish Dax's character was treated less as plot device, but as a parody of older Bond movies I see the placement and and ridiculousness of it. It did feel like the cast enjoyed making fun of it.
Tumblr media
This gem....I cannot even begin to state my delight over this single high pitched chort....giggle...laugh? What even is it? I knew of this gif out of context but now having seen the episode I see that Sisko was the deranged villain set out to destroy the world so he could create his human 2.0 sex island.
Tumblr media
Above all of this, we must give the spotlight to the REAL hero. Rom. He is an absolute genius!!!! I love that he is so intelligent. Sure, Lt. Mr. Little Boy Eddington was there too, Odo helped a bunch, and Quark wanted to show off his jacket, but Rom saved the day. Rom singlehandedly saved the entire main cast. On the fly he rigged up an engineering masterpiece in a Frankenstein's monster way. Under incredible pressure with try or die high stakes, he pioneered a solution. I sure hope that Rom can be the star of the show more often in the coming seasons. He is a brilliantly written Ferengi and a well acted character. A loving and supportive father, caring brother, talented engineer, and an all around good friend to everyone.
For me, this episode surprisingly became a "wow, I love Rom" episode. Of course, I enjoyed and can see how iconic and quintessentially Star Trek the entire Bond tribute plot was, but this episode is about Rom for me as much as it is about Bashir and anything else.
Tumblr media
I am glad that I can share my first watch of DS9 with all you lovely people. Thank you for sharing all your insights and passion for DS9 and Star Trek as a franchise with me.
Here is to many more shared laughs and warm moments together!

I do have to given the DS9 writers credit for how well 'Eddington is Maqui' was handled.

The other thing that bugs me about Michael Eddington's "You're worse than the Borg" rant is that it seems like a ridiculous line for the Maquis (whose entire shtick was wanting to stay on the UFP side of the border) to take. Like, wow, you sure didn't seem to have this principled stance against the Federation's 'imperialism' when you were the ones settler-colonizing planets right next to Cardassian space

Michael Eddington didn’t even read ‘Les Misérables’, he just watched the 2012 movie musical.

The Search, part 1 kicks off season 3 of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and introduces:
- a new hairstyle for Dax
- The Defiant
- Michael Eddington and Subcommander T’Rul
- The Founders
I’m glad they got rid of Dax’s hairstyle but I wish T’Rul had stuck around. It would have been fun having a Romulan on the show and it would have been nice to see another woman on a male dominated cast.

Benjamin Sisko is an amazing man, but it's still hilarious that so many people to fixate on him as their personal rival.
Dukat, Eddington, and Solok are the most notable three. And all three all wind up completely changing their personalities to revolve around one-upping Sisko and he winds up beating them anyway.
After Dukat destroys his career, he re-fashions himself into what is essentially the Emissary of the Pah-Wraiths. He's always been fixated on Sisko to some degree, but the final season takes it up to eleven.
Eddington becomes fed up with his career and projects his frustrations on to Sisko, re-imagining their relationship to be one where he's the noble criminal and Sisko the evil, relentless enforcer. But reality was never going to conform to his imaginings.
Solok, the Vulcan who was so obsessed with one-upping Sisko that he also developed an obsession with baseball. He drags his crew into it. He taunts Ben with it, makes things personal in a way the other two can't. In part because Solok is so incredibly petty. The other two are so grandiose in their methods, but Solok takes the petty route every time.

I was rewatching "The Passenger" the other day and wondered, was Lt. Primmin a victim of not being memorable enough or conflicting schedules or something? When Eddington is introduced later, he feels almost like the same character with a different actor at first and I was wondering why *consults wiki* James Lashly wasn't brought back (apologies if you've been asked this before).
It's been a while, but I do think we didn't use him again because he wasn't particularly memorable and, personality wise, he was a bit too close to O'Brien so he didn't fill a unique role on the show.
Eddington was created with his arc in mind from the start, so we cast to that and Ken Marshall killed it, so he had a much better run.
