High-stakes improv that involves impersonating someone else is to Sisko what stealing the Enterprise is to Spock. He needs to be let out of his enclosure (Deep Space Nine) to covertly take the place of a gun-wielding rebel leader at least once per season for his mental health and wellbeing
Look how much fun he’s having in “Through the Looking Glass.” He’s thriving. That’s a Sisko in his natural habitat
I love how every other character that gets caught in the Mirror Universe is like "uh-oh, these people are evil, I need to get out of here" but Sisko is more like "alright, playtime!" And he also has no hesitation about making out with two of his senior officers.
