Trivia:

In the original script, Damar went down with guns blazing, but without any lines. Distraught at the thought of a death without words, Casey Biggs asked the director if he could improvise something. So he came up with the final word "keep...". Biggs had no idea how to finish the sentence.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: There's a scene where Weyoun is shown on display screens delivering an address to the Cardassian citizens about a city being destroyed as retribution for sabotage by Cardassian rebels, where the insignia of the Dominion is in the background displayed backwards; a result of a flipped shot.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Cardassian Computer Voice: The time is 0500.
Doctor Bashir: [half asleep] Mmyeahalright.
Lieutenant Ezri Dax: [appearing behind him] Julian?
Doctor Bashir: Yes?
Lieutenant Ezri Dax: We have to get up.
Doctor Bashir: Are you sure?
Lieutenant Ezri Dax: It's a big day.
Doctor Bashir: [sighs] It was a big night. Cleared up a lot of unanswered questions.
Lieutenant Ezri Dax: Such as?

The Way You Look Tonight

after almost 3 years another sad day: DS9 is over

When I finished the last episode of ST The Next Generation three years ago, I thought nothing could be as good as it, but I was wrong: DS9 is fantastic too. Unluckly I just finished the last episode and now it's over... I must say I am a little sad. It kept me busy after work for a long time and now I miss them all: Captain Sisko, Odo, Bashir, chief O'Brien, Kira, Worf, Jadzia, Jake, Quark, Nog, Rom, Leeta, Garak, Dukat, Martok and above all Ezri (Nicole de Boer is really special). Thank you all. A really good job. The last episode ("What you leave behind") is the perfect conclusion. Don't see it before you see the previous episodes or you will loose the opportunity to "live" DS9 as it deserves (from season 1 to season 7 in a row).
