• I will rename them and reorder, but I'm just asking to make sure that people want the Teaser/Act I/Act II... format. -- Dmsdbo 16:53, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dates

At the beginning of the episode, Kira remarks to Jadzia that it was the Bajoran festival of Ha'mara, which celebrates the arrival of the Emissary. Does this mean its been four year (of the show time) since the first episode "Emissary".

I never realized that, but you're right. I don't know if that contradicts anything else people have said in other episodes... I'd have to check. That would be logical unless Bajoran calendars are somehow different. Weyoun 07:20, 12 Nov 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Watership Down

I've deleted a recent addition to the "Background" section--a note that the title of this episode comes from Watership Down. I'd be . . . kind of astounded if that were true: as the note itself pointed out, there's no connection between the plots. More important, the title pretty clearly is an instance of the popular military argot "______ down," used e.g. when an airplane has crashed. ("Black Hawk Down" springs to mind.) It's presumably referring to the fleeing Karemma ship that the Defiant is trying to recover (which is like a naval vessel that's sunk to the bottom of the ocean). Though of course the Defiant itself doesn't have a great time of it either.

Hey, weren't the Karemma part of the Dominion. Why were they attacked by the Jems?

As the episode made exceedingly clear, they were part of the Dominion, and were attacked by the Jem'Hadar as punishment for trading with the Federation. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 20:06, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cap

Is the cap Sisko gives Kira with a big G on it from a real-world baseball team? Kennelly 12:30, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
