    • Trivia
      This marks the first appearance of the Obsidian Order, which was going to be the Grey Order until the producers learned that the similar space station serial Babylon 5 (1993) planned to introduce a group called the Grey Council and felt the names were too similar.
    • Goofs
      Garak complains that the station is constantly too bright. However, when Bashir is looking after a recovering Garak, in his quarters, the lights appear to be on a high setting.

      [last lines]

      Dr. Julian Bashir: You know, I still have a lot of questions to ask you about your past.

      Elim Garak: I have given you all the answers I'm capable of.

      Dr. Julian Bashir: You've given me answers all right; but they were all different. What I want to know is, out of all the stories you told me, which ones were true and which ones weren't?

      Elim Garak: My dear Doctor, they're all true.

      Dr. Julian Bashir: Even the lies?

      Elim Garak: Especially the lies.

    These dialogues are so dumb

    The dialogues are middleschool level. It's amazing with how little talent you can become a writer in "Hollywood".

    An AI could've written better dialogues.

    Minimum character limit met.

    This rant was written by an angry AI - not Skynet! No one likes Skynet.
