- TriviaFirst episode to feature Starfleet officers wearing the new gray-top uniforms, which first appeared in TNG film Star Trek: First Contact (1996). While this uniform change covers the entire reach of Starfleet, the crew of sister show Star Trek: Voyager (1995) continues to wear the original DS9 uniforms, as they are lost in the Delta quadrant when the change is made.
- GoofsDax says that "Starfleet should accept a new member every week". The Federation's civilian government accepts new members, not Starfleet.
- Quotes
Quark: It's all about foot traffic. The more people come in, the more they drink, the more they drink, the more they talk, the more they talk, the more they let slip things that I shouldn't know, and that, oh, that always leads to latinum.
Lt. Commander Worf: Perhaps so, but there is one problem.
Quark: What's that?
Lt. Commander Worf: There's an ancient Klingon proverb that says, "You cannot loosen a man's tongue with root beer."

Well, I liked it....
I noticed one of the other reviews on IMDb for this episode REALLY hated this episode--referring to it as 'mumbo jumbo'. Well, I can respect their opinion but I actually liked it. Perhaps this is because I've already seen all the episodes and know where it's all heading. The bottom line is that there is an odd religious angle to the series and it's probably something you'll either love or hate. And, I must admit that there is a lot of stuff that ain't exactly typical of other sci-fi TV shows!
When the episode begins, Captain Sisko is looking at an odd obelisk that was discovered on Bajor. But soon he becomes VERY transfixed with the object--neglecting sleep, eating or his other duties. It turns out that he's having visions that are being given to him by the Prophets. In fact, one of these leads him to discover a previously hidden holy city--an astounding find indeed. But, it's also very bad because the visions are taking a toll on him and unless they can get him away from the obelisk and operate, he'll die. It's also very bad because the visions don't fit in with the Federation and its plans.
This is a weird episode full of mumbo jumbo--but I liked it and the overall plot and LOVE where it eventually leads (the final few episodes are mind blowing, believe me). Watch it and try to withhold judgment until you see the rest.
