Notes
- Winn is not nearly as rude as she usually is, this is apparently something from real life – Louise Fletcher was ill with the flu at the time and had to lay down between all her takes.
- The last episode for Vedek Bareil, as the character dies here. Philip Anglim later comes back to play the mirror universe version in the episode “Resurrection“.
- The events of this episode are followed up in the episode “Shakaar“.
- Bashir wears the red Starfleet surgical outfit we saw a few times on TNG.
- Bashir uses cordriazine in this episode, something first used in the TOS episode “The City on the Edge of Forever“.

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Deep Space Nine Ep 59 - Life Support - 30 Jan 1995 2/2 silly B story with Jake. I'm not entirely sure they both work together, kind of wish it was one or the other - not together. Some good acting performances in this however despite how the plots didn't mesh together.
