    Storyline

    • Trivia
      While in full Cardassian makeup, actress Tracy Scoggins (Gilora Rejal) took the opportunity to walk around the Paramount lot, "scaring schoolchildren on buses" before security called the DS9 set, saying, "Could y'all do something about keeping your aliens contained over there?"

      The crew of the Defiant observe a comet near to the gamma quadrant exit to the worm hole. The comet has a tail - comets only develop tails as they approach a star. The star heats up the comet, which produces a tail of water vapor which always points away from the star. In addition, the speed of stellar objects like comets are such that ships would've detected it on their sensors months or years prior the episode, and would've known that the comet would've come close to the wormhole.
    • Quotes

      Lieutenant Jadzia Dax: As the 34th Rule of Acquisition states, "Peace is good for business".

      Quark: That's the 35th Rule.

      Lieutenant Jadzia Dax: Oh, you're right. What's the 34th?

      Quark: "War is good for business". It's easy to get them confused.

    I am so tired of the Prophets and their tiresome imposition into the daily workings of Bajor. We've already seen the evil of the Kai, taking matters into her own hands. Here, as is usually done with religious writings, some warning is twisted and convoluted into an explanation for an event. I know I'll get in trouble for saying this, but all it takes is a good fiction writer to do whatever he or she wants with a bunch of ancient words.
