* HollywoodTactics: Deconstructed. The ''Odyssey'', which is essentially a Starfleet battleship, is sent in alone to deal with the Jem'Hadar and retrieve Sisko and Quark. Unfortunately, without additional support, she just isn't enough and is brought down by a swarm attack and kamikaze run from the Jem'Hadar attack craft. Real naval tactics stipulate that large capital ships should always be protected by a force of smaller screening ships to prevent this exact scenario.

** Not only that, but ''The Jem'Hadar'' marks the point where ''Star Trek'' grows...darker. Prior to ''The Jem'Hadar'', the Federation is portrayed as a peaceful culture between worlds, unified by science, commerce, and diplomacy. Combat is seen as an afterthought, (see ''[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS2E21PeakPerformance Peak Performance]]''), and not at the forefront of Starfleet's or the Federation's mind. But after this episode, Starfleet and the Federation begin to show their dark and militant underbelly (''Starfleet Intelligence'', ''Section 31'', the "Prometheus", the ''Defiant'' program).
