Trivia
The writers saw the B-story of this episode as an important indication of how DS9's Worf was going to be different from TNG's Worf. As Ronald D. Moore explains, "He used to be a cop, more or less, on the USS Enterprise-D, but it's not going to be like that anymore. We wanted to keep emphasizing, 'this is not TNG. The station doesn't work like the Enterprise. Worf is going to have some troubles fitting in, but he's going to learn.'"

Goofs
When Goran'Agar explains to Bashir about his freedom of Ketracel White, it happened 3 years previously. Later when discussing it, they both say it happened 4 years ago.

Quotes
Captain Sisko: Starfleet officers often have trouble learning the unofficial rules of the station. There's no manual to study. You have to learn things as you go. A little different than... life on a starship.
Lt. Commander Worf: When I served aboard the Enterprise, I always knew who were my allies, and who were my enemies.
Captain Sisko: Let's just say, DS9 has more shades of gray. And Quark definitely is a shade of... gray. He has his own set of rules, and he follows them diligently. Once you understand them, you understand Quark. I'd say that's true for... everyone here.
[he offers Worf a glass of raktajino]
Captain Sisko: You'll fit in, Commander. Just give it time.

O'Brien is an a**hole.

This episodes presents an interesting moral dilemma to Bashir and O'Brien, however while the doctor tries to be a good person...well let's just say O'Brien comes off as really cold and heartless. The episode was still good, it was just infuriating at times.
