Trivia
During filming at a rock quarry in Sun Valley, temperatures reached as high as 128 °F/53 °C. It was the hottest period in that part of the country in over ten years; so hot that the makeup was melting on-camera. If you look closely, you can see the eyes of the Jem'Hadar are quite red, due to the makeup dripping into the actors' eyes as it ran off their foreheads.

Goofs
No one notices Vedek Yassim on the promenade until the moment before she jumps. Yet a crowd has gathered, expecting her to lead a protest, and she had to take time to tie her noose around the railing and/or her neck.

Quotes
Keevan: Once you've taken care of the Jem'Hadar, I'll give you the com-system, and surrender to you as a prisoner of war.
Doctor Bashir: And you spend the war resting comfortably as a Starfleet PoW, while your own men lie rotting on this planet?
Keevan: I see we understand each other. I'm going to order the Jem'Hadar to attack your position tomorrow regardless of whether you agree to my terms or not. So you can either kill them or they'll kill you.

Sitting ducks

Love this episode, reminds me of later episodes of Ultimate Force where they had very small production costs so everything was filmed in a quarry. As for the impending Jem'Hadar attack, all of them bunched up in a line and all within 10m, proceeding on low ground, in a quarry with high ground on all sides! They deserve to get massacred with that tactical thinking! Maybe my old army head is taking over ! :-)
