[edit] okudagram

About 32 minutes into this episode, there is a large okudagram referred to as "...the latest casualty reports...from the dominion counterattack on the Chin'Toka system..." My copy of the episode is too blurry to read any of the names. Most such lists are vast in-jokes, so I'd be much obliged if somebody could take a hi-res shot of it and tell us what it says. --Malimar 02:05, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Try Memory Alpha:Requested pictures, it might take a while, but it will more than likely get noticed there. --Gvsualan 02:19, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Romulan Presence

From what I can gather in this episode, the decision to have a Romulan presence on the station is taken entirely by Starfleet without consulting the Bajoran government whatsoever, insofar as Kira knows nothing about it. However, isn't DS9 a Bajoran station? This jurisdiction thing came up several times in the first two seasons, most noticably in "Dramatis Personae" and "The Circle", and then again in "Call to Arms", when Starfleet leave, but the Bajoran militia stays. So, my question is, hoe could Starfleet approve the Romulan presence when surely such a decision must have been taken by the Bajorans? Is this worth placing as a rhetorical question of sorts in the BG section (like with Kira taking over the Defiant in "Tears of the Prophets")? – Bertaut ^talk 03:02, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

I think so; it was certainly odd.– Cleanse ^talk 04:15, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

It is owned by the Bajorans, but run by Starfleet. – Fadm tyler 15:17, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vulcans/Romulans

Kira and everyone else in this episode say that Romulans and Vulcans are virtually identical, even though their physical differences were a key point of "The Enemy". In that episode, Dr Crusher is unable to use the Vulcan crewmembers for a transfusion with a dying Romulan. They repeated this teeny continuity error in "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges".--Moggy 01:37, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
