** Other considerations for O'Brien and Bashir's DrunkenSong were "Louie, Louie" or "Rocketman". "Jerusalem" was apparently cheaper, plus it was known to both actors and deemed an excellent drunk song.

* CastTheRunnerUp: Chase Masterson was originally cast to play Mardah, but Avery Brooks overruled it because he thought she was too old to date a 16-year-old. She's recast here as Leeta, who's paired with Bashir in this episode.



* RealitySubtext: Sisko explains he grew his goatee because he wanted a change. Creator/AveryBrooks had long wanted to grow his beard back, but producers asked him to wait because they wanted to visually distinguish Sisko from Brooks' earlier character, [[Series/SpenserForHire Hawk]]. (Hawk also had a shaved head, but Brooks would have to wait until Season 4 for that.)

* FirstAppearance: Of Leeta the Dabo girl, who will be Bashir's girlfriend for a while before settling into a rather more serious relationship with Rom. (There's also the first mention of Kasidy Yates -- albeit not by name -- but she doesn't actually make an appearance until the next episode.)
