    Edit
    • Trivia
      This episode was originally supposed to be the opening episode of the fourth season, with "Homefront" being the finale of the third season.
    • Goofs
      At the end, Joseph Sisko tells his incoming customers that he recommends the "pasta boudin", but pronounces it "boo-DEEN". A New Orleans native, even in the future, would know that it is pronounced "boo-DAN".
    • Quotes

      Changeling: We do not fear you the way you fear us. In the end, it's your fear that will destroy you.

    Star Trek meets Seven Days in May
    I couldn't help but make a comparison between this two parter and the excellent cold war film 'Seven Days in May'. In that film, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff -- dissatisfied with a treaty the President negotiated with the Soviet union -- attempts a coup to overthrow the president and install himself.

    An excellent episode of Deep Space Nine and essential viewing -- especially now.
