TOS's "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" was widely considered a huge turkey, but it's Shakespeare compared to this.
The crazy thing here is the producers don't seem to fathom in the slightest how silly and contrived this episode is. LTBYLB explicitly makes their races identical except for a minor difference skin tones.
Here? These people have no connection to Bajor whatsoever, don't clean up after themselves, can't control half their population (the males), and believe they are entitled to lush farmland on Bajor despite Bajor having suffered 50 years of other aliens insisting they have a right to Bajor.
This isn't hypothetical either. Once denied their demands, one of the alien males attempts to occupy Bajor by force. Hello?
For me personally, this actually made me like the Bajorans for the first time, and Kira specifically.
Kira is incredibly friendly to Haneek, who then tells her in a parting shot that Bajor has become frightened and suspicious because of 50 years of occupation because she didn't get what she wanted.
My only thing is Kira should have kicked her through the airlock.
