    Storyline

    • Trivia
      This episode was the first with Ira Steven Behr as Executive Producer. One of the major changes he made to the series was in action sequences, specifically space battles, had to be shown on-screen more often and not just referred to, as TNG had repeatedly done. As the episode budget of DS9 shows could now accommodate more extensive battle sequences than TNG could do during its series run, starship fights became more commonplace in later seasons - especially during major Dominion War episodes. This particular episode marks the first signs of this change, as it features the biggest on-screen battle in Star Trek history up to that point (the Battle of the Omarion Nebula).
    • Goofs
      The Cardassians and Romulans possess an item which prevents changelings from altering their shape, a device which would have been extremely useful for the rest of the series. It is never mentioned again.
    • Quotes

      Commander Sisko: [Back on DS9, after returning from the Gamma Quadrant] There is still no indication that any Romulan or Cardassian vessels survived the attack.

      Admiral Toddman: [on the monitor] Sounds like Wolf 359 all over again.

      Commander Sisko: I had the same thought.

      Admiral Toddman: [For disobeying the Admiral's order not to interfere with the attack on the Founders world] You may be interested to know I've decided not to file charges against anyone aboard the Defiant.

      Commander Sisko: Thank you, sir.

      Admiral Toddman: But if you pull a stunt like that again, I'll court-martial you, or I'll promote you. Either way, you'll be in a lot of trouble.

      Commander Sisko: I'll keep that in mind, sir.

    The Two Best Characters in the Series
    Garak and Odo are cloaked in mystery. Garak did something of which we have little or no knowledge. Those actions are at the center of this episode. The first half ended with his joining forces with an evil man with whom he once had an alliance and to whom he owed a huge favor. He must save face and is forced into torturing Odo. I thought for a moment, he was in spy mode, but his allegiance to Tain turns out to be genuine. The writing here is excellent as is the non-stop action. There are some interesting twists and turns along the way. We have a confrontation among the three most powerful evil forces in the known galaxy.
