Chase Masterson, Cathy DeBuono, and David B. Levinson in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993)

Goofs

The Dogs of War

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Edit

Continuity

Weyoun says the Dominion has been around for 10,000 years. But in To the Death (1996), his previous incarnation tells Captain Sisko its been around for 2,000 years.
Quark states that he wants to replace the latinum plated fixtures with fixtures of solid latinum. It was previously revealed that latinum is a liquid.
The U.S.S Sao Paolo dedication plaque identifies the launched date of the new starship as stardate 52889.3, however during Admiral Ross's reading of the orders he states that Captain Sisko is taking command of the starship as of date 52861.3 which is before the ship was even launched.
In the final scene in the Siskos's quarters, Kasidy's wedding ring rotates nearly 90 degrees between shots. The stone is facing straight upwards and then is rotated so that it is poking against her pinky finger.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

After Klingon Chancellor Martok votes to attack the Dominion, Starfleet Admiral Ross and Romulan Sub-Commander Velal concur, and Captain Sisko declares the matter settled. Unlike the Klingon Empire, Starfleet and the Romulans do not have a singular leader who can unilaterally approve acts of war. There would be approvals needed from their commanding bodies.

Both the Federation and Romulus governments have already declared war against the Dominion, and Ross and Velal are the commanders chosen by those governments to prosecute that war. They would not have to check with anyone to decide what battle plans to follow.

Revealing mistakes

When Julian and Ezri ride the turbolift up into ops while passionately kissing, when the lift first starts to rise, the actors are not kissing, just holding their heads near one another. When the camera pans back, they are then seen kissing.
The conversation between Zek and Quark is marred by 20th century television static rather than something more futuristic. Even in the early 21st century on Earth, that sort of static is mostly a relic of the past.

Plot holes

When they are plotting where to begin their public support campaign, Kira asks Damar, "Where's the closest Jem'Hadar barracks?" They facility they attack is not a barracks. A barracks is a set of living quarters for soldiers. The facility they attacked had many non-Jem'Hadar civilian workers filtering in and out.

Character error

Admiral Ross calls the Sao Paolo "Sam Paolo" when he reads the order on the PADD. However, this isn't a goof. It's actually closer to the correct pronunciation of the Portuguese name than pronouncing the "o" as in American English. (It is said like 'sahm' not 'saow'.)
While under attack aboard the Jem'Hadar fighter, Seskal orders all disruptors fired. Jem'Hadar fighters do not use disruptors. They are equipped with phased polaron beams and torpedoes.
There is no way, given the current situation, that a simple voice command to the computer would transfer command codes from one commander to another (as Admiral Ross did when he transferred command codes to Captain Sisko). Both the outgoing commander/captain and the incoming commander/captain would be required to provide appropriate identification and authorization codes. Simple voice command transfer of the command codes would be the equivalent of the commander of a vessel having the ability to invoke the self-destruct command (which normally requires the authorization of the top three officers to invoke) without identification and authorization codes.
After finding out he won't become Negus, Quark publicly orders that Broik water down the drinks and that M'Pella rig the Dabo table. Publicly announcing your intentions to cheat your customers would drive away business. Not exactly a good strategy for someone who wants to gain profit at all cost.
