This was a good one, and not just because it really stoked the fires for a confrontation with Odo, but because we finally, _finally_ get clear consolidation of Vahid's raison d'etre, and its a good one! The "if I have to" is great for keeping a slight edge on the threat of him going full magus, like frodo at the end of LOTR, finally falling to the ring's power at the last moment. Either way, I've been waiting for this moment for literal years!
I've seen your notes in the last couple episodes about the NPC conversations, and I'd like to reiterate that I just don't think that's a problem in a written medium! Since none of us are *players*, but rather all audience members, it has a very different feel than the GM talking to themself (something I was rather conscious of at my Blades in the Dark session just this past Sunday :) )
