Why do we care that two people happened to be hired in the same episode? Weyoun 21:00, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Summary

What would be the moral implications of fleshing out this summary simply by copying-and-pasting the normal Wikipedia entry, which is far more complete? Branfish 05:37, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

It would be illegal. It would be a copyright violation, as Memory Alpha does not fall under the GNU FDL (Wikipedia's license). Memory Alpha is under Creative Commons. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 05:38, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Removed the entirely irrelevant comparison to Stargate - TNG's Contagion introduced the Iconians and their gateways, so this episode is not based on SG1!!

[edit] PNA

Somehow, the episode summary has seven acts - it should only have five. -- Michael Warren | Talk 02:01, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I've fixed it– Bertaut ^talk 16:36, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removed false info

According to the script, when Weyoun "claps" Odo on the shoulder, he infected him with the virus that presents itself in "Broken Link" and necessitates his return to the Great Link (although the way the scene is filmed does not allow the "clap" to be seen on screen). This means that as of this point, Odo is infected with two viruses, one by Starfleet and one by the Founders. One may assume the Starfleet virus was dormant during Odo's return to the Great Link at the end of the season.

RDM has stated that this is not true. [1] --- Jaz 15:51, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

The script is here. Scene 54C contains the specific reference:

For the Vorta, this is an important moment. He knows

that Odo's answer will have significant consequences,

both in his life and in Odo's.

ODO

No. But I am ready to end this

conversation.

Weyoun looks at Odo for a beat, then gives him a good-

natured clap on the shoulder. (In case anyone's

interested, when he touches Odo, Weyoun is purposely

infecting Odo with the disease that almost kills him in

"BROKEN LINK.")

The script is taken directly from the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion (CD). I have verified this with my own copy of the software. -- Michael Warren | Talk 16:44, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Interesting that RDM says that this is untrue. That should get a brief note - I think its a good idea to point out mistakes in other sources, to avoid someone coming along to this page and thinking the same thing as Jaz did.– Cleanse 01:53, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

My mistake. Good idea, Cleanse. --- Jaz 04:50, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

You know, I would almost take that with a grain of salt, from reading the transcript, it is quite clear he is selectively answering his questions, trying to be funny in some answers, etc (<<Can we hear Morn talk? Please?>>: He talks all the time. Check the volume control on your TV.) Certainly a concrete script that you can throw in his face with "the facts" is more than a mere "rumor". --Alan 05:23, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
