Trivia / Star Trek: Deep Space Nine S06E17 "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night"

• Wag the Director: This episode came about as the direct result of Nana Visitor, who played Kira, flat-out refusing to go along with the writers' initial plans for a Kira/Dukat romance.^note Visitor also opposed Kira/Odo, feeling the two were Better as Friends (as did Rene Auberjonois), but didn't contest that pairing, perhaps in deference to the writers having backed down with regards to Kira/Dukat. Basically this was as close as the writers could get to writing the Kira/Dukat romance they wanted while at the same time mollifying Visitor's concerns about Kira's character. Even then, the original ending had Kira outright forgive her mother, but Nana Visitor argued that it wouldn't be that easy for Kira to forgive collaboration with the Cardassians or Dukat.
