- Quotes
[Dax is complaining about the eighth muscle pull within a month]
Odo: Actually, I believe Commander Dax has been treated for seven muscle pulls, two contusions and three cracked ribs. The only person who spent more time in the infirmary over the past few weeks is Commander Worf.
Captain Sisko: [to Dax] Isn't there any way that... the two of you could, um... erm... you know...
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Make love?
Captain Sisko: ...without injuring yourselves?
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Interspecies romance isn't without its danger. That's part of the fun.
- Alternate versionsThe scene where Worf walks in on Leeta & a Risian male originally featured actress Chase Masterson nude in a bathtub. Although this was replaced by an alternate scene for broadcast featuring a clothed Leeta, stills and short video clips of the original nude scene can be seen on several Star Trek websites.

I'm always looking forward to episodes involving Risa, the 'pleasure planet' of the Federation. So when Dax, Worf, Bashir, Leeta and Quark all go there together in this episode I was looking forward to a 'light' episode with lots of comedy and 'pleasure'-like moments, just like an episode of good old 'Fantasy Island' that I enjoyed very much when I was a kid, or when Picard goes to Risa in the TNG episode where he meets the archaeologist lady.
It could have been a fun episode to watch to take a break from the darkness in DS9 at this time.
It turned out that this episode was very disappointing. It was not fun to watch at all. Some comedy mainly by Quark, the rest was just depressing and unconvincing.
Michael Dorn was given a role and lines that were ridiculously childish and negative even for him, and it affected his performance, and this seemed to reflect onto the others as well. Everyone performed pretty bad compared to other episodes, and the chemistry between them was all gone.
The villain was like something from the 1930's, and the writing was overall very bad.
It all felt very childish.
My least favorite episode of DS9 so far, sorry.
