    • Trivia
      This episode marks the first appearance of several new sets aboard the Defiant, namely main engineering, the mess hall and the extended corridor set.
    • Goofs
      14:45 during the scene on the bridge, a boom mic and even the boom on which it is mounted is clearly visible at the top edge of the screen centered approximately over the captains chair and remains visible (and moving) from that camera angle.
    • Quotes

      [O'Brien is faced with two Odos, one of them an impostor]

      Odo II: You'd better make a decision. We're running out of time.

      Chief O'Brien: I 've got more important things to do than play 'choose the Changeling'!

    OMG Finally something actually happens!
    The last 4 or 5 episodes have been pretty much just filler, and finally now something real is happening. They actually leave DS9 that's how different this episode is!

    I'm only halfway through and I'm captivated, definitely don't skip this one!
