Storyline

A Dominion attack on the Defiant endangers Dax, Bashir and O'Brien aboard the runabout U.S.S. Rubicon as they enter an anomaly that shrinks them to a very minute size. Unfortunately, they were being held stable by the Defiant within a tractor beam, which was discontinued during the attack.

Trivia

There are some very good comic actors here. Terry is wonderful at comedy and of course Rene is a wonderful comic actor, so we enjoy it."

Goofs

When the crew in the runabout finally are able to open the blast shutters, they look straight and up through the shuttle windows and see the Defiant. but when the picture zooms out, the Defiant is below the runabout, considering the angle of the runabout, all they should see is empty space.

Exploding electronics

Okay so the producers did away with the dreaded (and predictable) red jersey fatalities, but why do most of the extras who are thrown to the floor by an exploding comm panel or work station die?
