Trivia
The sequence with Shakaar's ship docking Deep Space 9 was a re-use of the Wadi starship that first appeared in "Move Along Home".

Goofs
Both Odo and Worf talk about having established routines, such as Odo mentioning his patrol of the station as being so predictable that shopkeepers could set their watches by it.

This is NOT what good security personnel would do. A predictable routine would allow criminals and such to know where the officer would be - and not be - to plan their activities.

Quotes
[Quark is complaining about the noise Odo makes at night in his quarters]
Quark: Do you know what it's like to hear someone practice shape-shifting? Last night, it sounded like a Takaran wildebeest was tromping around up there.
Odo: That was for all of five minutes. Once you complained, I took the form of a Rafalian mouse.
Quark: Yeah. Little tiny feet, skittering across the floor, back and forth, back and forth.
Major Kira: You could hear that?
Quark: [pointing at his ears] Hello?

Crazy Love

Quark really has some affection for Odo. They are both loners, caught up in their own worlds. But Odo is carrying a torch for Kira and this almost destroys him. This episode involves his Rostand-like fixation on her as he watches her become more and more involved with another man. It is good to see the "human" side of this guy and how dangerous he could be, given the right circumstances.
