Notes
- An odd factoid from the “Star Trek DS9 Companion”… This is the first Star Trek episode to use a free standing ladder. :)
- The Enterprise episode “E2” has an extremely similar plot to this episode.
- The last time the Gamma Quadrant is used until the series finale.
- That Yedrin Dax speaks with his hands behind his back was an intentional nod to an established prior Dax host – Lela.
- The last time we have an episode of DS9 with no scenes on the station. Counting this, there were four of them.

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Deep Space Nine Ep 120 - Children of Time - 5 May 1997 2/2 this ep. The joy is seeing our characters interact with their own descendants. It's not quite said where they get a Trill host to pass the Dax symbiont to. I liked the performances, but no long term threat here.
