Watched Past Tense. There are moments when it feels like a party political broadcast (Julian and Sisko's last exchange, mostly), but it's a frightening and well-realised dystopia that actually feels more current than it did at transmission. I'd forgotten how good it was.

Also, while the computer terminals are a bit of a futuristic! fail, decent use of the internet, and the costuming department did a beautiful job. The use of vaguely Depression era, but twisted/ modified clothes probably helped the budget, but they're pretty believable as a near-future look while suggesting the mass poverty, unemployment, and lack of health-care that creates the crisis the episodes focus on.
