    Storyline

    Edit
    • 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

      Lt. Commander Worf: [on Regana Tosh] That man arrived on the station this afternoon and came directly here. I believe the Ferengi bartender is plotting something with him.

      Major Kira: I wouldn't be surprised. Quark's always up to something.

      Lt. Commander Worf: If he is a known criminal, why does your Security Chief not do anything about him?

      Major Kira: Odo keeps him in check.

      Lt. Commander Worf: Yes - but not in prison.

    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.
