Bashir and O'Brien help two long-warring races dispose of their biological weapons.  Unfortunately, they soon become assassination targets.  The two escape but are stranded.  Meanwhile, Miles has been infected by one of the weapons.

This week's episode is also about developing the bromance.  Originally, it was supposed to be a Dax-Bashir story but fortunately, someone thought better of it.  The Miles-Julian arc provides a lot more room to grow.  I like the fact that, at least in the beginning, the relationship is built largely upon their annoyance with each other - or at least Miles's clear resentment/irritation/whatever with Julian.  After all, real world friendships can evolve the same way.  You see all of the faults but given enough time together, you start to care about each other.  Over time, it becomes a highly relatable bond.

"Armageddon Game" was nominated for an Emmy for the hairstyles.
