Allamaraine, if you can see,

Notes

• The song where the crew has to do a silly dance was mocked and referenced in the closing credits of the DS9 documentary by Nana Visitor & Ira Stephen Behr.
• The episode was nominated for an Emmy Award for best hairstyling for a series.
• The name of the game (Chula) was sourced from the kids games “Chutes & Ladders”.
• At the time this was made, it was the second most expensive episode of the series, behind the pilot.
• The second episode in a row where O’Brien isn’t here, but it was said in the prior one he was on Earth.  It does have Jake Sisko for the first appearance in about 5 episodes or so.
