Goofs

Odo estimates the shot was fired at close range, but there is no gunshot residue (GSR). The presence of GSR and the stippling around the wound are the indicators for a close proximity shot.

Quotes

Odo: [to Dax, in her dream] I'm sorry, Lieutenant. There's nothing more annoying than a corpse with a mind of its own.

User Reviews

Let's make too many episodes focused on the new Dax!

I understand that they wanted to let everyone get accustomed to the new Dax... what with six seasons of building character development with all the other main cast. So, putting as many episodes as they did focusing on the new Dax is a prime example of "Good idea. Bad execution."

You can't necessarily blame Nicole; she does her best to be "the new Darren", but they tried to force and wedge these into the main storyline of a Dominion war that seems to be totally ignored because of how much they had to put into each episode to help focus and build the character.

This episode would have been just as bad if Terry was still on board, but then this episode probably never would have existed if Terry had stayed for season 7.
