Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGarak's role and actions in this episode are similar to the character Danny in The Great Escape (1963). Both men were forced to work in a confined area and both suffered from claustrophobia. It is also worth noting that Andrew Robinson himself suffers from mild claustrophobia, and on the day the crawl space scenes were shot, he was suffering from the flu.
- GoofsThe changeling impersonated Dr. Bashir for over a month, interacting with the station crew many times, including Odo. Odo was previously able to detect the presence of other changelings, even when disguised as Starfleet officers, for example in season 4's "Homefront."

Lots of Suspense, Good Characters, and a Sophisticated Plot
I wrote the last time about war and violence. This is a given in this series because the station is always on delicate ground. But what separates this are the actions of some characters. Worf is incredibly heroic. Garak, the mystery man, rises above his superfluity. And the plot set forth by the Dominion is really unique. Gul Dukat, who used to be a bit ingratiating, turns out to be more villainous than ever. This is no surprise because what he did to the Bajorans during his reign is nothing short of sadistic. His daughter, whom he supposedly adores, is thrown to the flames at the first sign of rebelliion (I don't mean literally, of course). He will be a force to reckong with for two more seasons after this, I suspect. This is a superior episode. The two together may be the best so far.
