    • Trivia
      This episode marked the first appearance of an environmental suit in a Star Trek episode since Whom Gods Destroy (1969), though environmental suits of various designs had been seen in the Star Trek films. The type of suit worn by Garak in this episode was designed for Star Trek: First Contact (1996), and made several later appearances in Star Trek: Voyager (1995).
    • Goofs
      When Garak is working on the computer and is being denied he scratches his neck. Some of the makeup is scratched off and you can see the natural skin color of Andrew Robinson.
    • Quotes

      Chief O'Brien: What's the matter?

      Garak: Well, it's just that... Lately I've noticed everyone seems to trust me. It's quite unnerving, I'm still trying to get used to it. Next thing I know, people are going to be inviting me to their homes for dinner.

      Chief O'Brien: Well, if it makes you feel any better, I promise I will never have you over.

      Garak: I appreciate that, Chief.

    Did It Remind You of "The Shining"?
    When O'Brien, Nog (who reminds me of a young Mickey Rooney), and Garak (along with some cannon fodder) go to an abandoned Cardassian space station to get parts, they come to realize that there is grave danger lurking. Also, that there is a reason for this. We need to ask ourself why two Cardassians are put in stasis to protect this galactic junk pile. It isn't long before the body count begins to mount, and something happens to Garak. This is one of those episodes where survival comes first and there is a rather cavalier attitude about death.
