Notes

• The 100th episode of Deep Space Nine.
• The role of Kilana was supposed to be Eris from “The Jem’Hadar” (played by Molly Hagan), but she was unavailable at the time.
• The captured Dominion ship reappears in the episodes “A Time to Stand” and “Rocks & Shoals“.
• We see the first female Benzite in this episode, and the first one without their breathing apparatus.
• The gravel pit this was filmed in was used for a few other episodes: “The Homecoming“, “Indiscretion“, “Rocks & Shoals“.
• There is a loose reference to the movie “The Englishman Who Went up a Hill but Came down a Mountain” which starred Colm Meaney.
