Notes

• A loose sequel to the TNG episode “Journey’s End“, which aired in real time about a month before this.
• The Maquis settlement uses the same matte painting that was in TNG’s “The Ensigns of Command“.
• Sakonna is played by Bertila Damas.  She was also Marika Wilkarah in Voyager’s “Survival Instinct“.  She also appeared in two episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine as Amy Santiago’s mother Camila.
• In Part II, the Cardassian named Legate Parn is played by John Schuck.  He’s more well known as the Klingon Ambassador in The Voyage Home & The Undiscovered Country.  He also appeared in one Voyager episode and two Enterprise episodes.
• The first time we see Odo only partially become something else.
• The first time we see a side of Dukat that isn’t that of just a villian/bad guy.
• Rule of Acquisition Mentioned – #214: “Never begin a negotiation on an empty stomach”. (Part I)
• Rule of Acquisition Mentioned – #3: “Never spend more for an acquisition than you have to”. (Part II)
• Part II was the final episode of Star Trek directed by Corey Allen.  He directed 5 episodes of TNG and 4 of DS9 total.
• To this point I’ve been marking episodes that Jake has not appeared in.  I’ve decided to stop doing that as he’s not in more than he is in.  :)
