Notes

• The first episode directed by a Deep Space Nine cast member (Avery Brooks). Brooks would direct eight more episodes of DS9 after this.
• This episode is based off a line said by Dukat in “The Maquis Part II” about the outcome of a trial being known on Cardassia Prime before it starts.
• The events of the episode “Playing God” are briefly referenced here.
• Enterprise-D is referenced in this episode, but only briefly in one liner, it is not seen.
• The first time we see Cardassia Prime in the series.  It had only been mentioned prior to this.
• Boone is played by John Beck.  He’s an actor I know well from “Dallas” where he played Mark Graison for 67 episodes (mostly Pam Ewing’s second finance).
• Admin note: While this post is dated Jun 26, it was actually posted on the 27th.  I got busy on the 26th and didn’t get to that day’s episode in time.
