Goofs
Footage of General Martok's ship docking at Deep Space Nine was often recycled for each time a Klingon Bird of Prey visited the station. However, it is stated numerous times that Martok commands one of the smaller Birds of Prey (known in publications as the B'Rel Class) while other Klingon ships (known as the K'Vort class) are huge Bird of Prey vessels, about the same as a Galaxy class starship, and which would need to dock on one of the space station pylons due to their larger size.

Quotes
Martok: Doctor... Thank you.
Doctor Bashir: If you really want to thank me, don't walk in here dripping blood anymore. It takes days to get it out of the carpet!

Lots of Energy

Worf accompanies a man he shared time with on the asteroid, a Klingon captain who has lost his drive. This man was a hero but being held for two years by the Kem'Hadar has diminished his resolve. He is sent on a rescue mission to the Cardassian border. During that time, the resolve of an already defeated crew is lowered. Worf and Dax are on board, Worf as first officer. He and Dax must tread lightly as it seems a mutiny may be at hand. This is a strong episode with the Klingons presented as more sophisticated types than the brawlers they usually are.
