Notes

• An amusing quip – this episode sounds like the title of an episode from Babylon 5.
• A working title of this episode was “Persistence of Vision”.  It has no connection to the Star Trek Voyager episode with the same name.
• The colony set was used previously in a TNG episode “Thine Own Self” (modified, of course).
• The third and final reference to the Dominion before they finally show up in the season finale, “The Jem’Hadar“.
• Kira is said to have two brothers.  While not named here they were in a future episode (“Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night“).  They are Kira Pohl & Kira Reon.
• Taya is played by Noley Thornton, who also appeared in the TNG episode “Imaginary Friend” as Clara Sutter.
