How is this not the worst episode of DS9?

I love how it's O'brien who's really afraid.
TBH, O'brien's been on the Enterprise long enough to know that when weird, seemingly powerful creatures start talking to you, you should be very, very careful. Even if they present themselves as storybook characters.
He is also second most likely to punch Q in the face.
