      When Dax and Deral are out walking in a countryside, as they get close to climb a tree, you can clearly see sod patches and strips around the base of the tree.
    • Quotes

      Major Kira: Odo, I know you don't need to eat. But did you ever try it anyway?

      Odo: Once, not long after I was first able to assume the humanoid form.

      Major Kira: And?

      Odo: And since I don't have taste buds, it was very unsatisfying, not to mention... messy.

      Major Kira: Messy?

      Odo: I'd rather not talk about it.

    So bad it's good
    I firmly believe that it's okay for TV to have an off day, and this episode is mostly about the DS9 crew dealing with their Riker-level horniness for some aliens. It was (unintentionally) funny, no one was getting angsty about Cardassians, I liked it.
