Ba****r introduced a new concept into the Star Trek universe, character
development.  OK, most of the DS9 characters did, but it stands out
particularly with Ba****r.  Look at him in Season 1 and again in Season 7
and
you barely recognize the guy.  Contrast that with Riker or LaForge between
Season 1 and 7.
