* FlingALightIntoTheFuture: More like fling a light into the present; the crew of the ''Defiant'' prepare a probe with messages to their families and information about what had happened and launch it, programmed to transmit its location to DS9 as soon as they are sent into the past ... but in the end it proves sadly unnecessary.

Added DiffLines:

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Falls into the typical problems surrounding the AdamAndEvePlot in that 48 people is nowhere near enough to create a stable population of 8,000. And any handwave involving Starfleet's medical technology falls by the wayside as we are told that all they managed to salvage from the wreck of the ''Defiant'' was a couple of cases of equipment.

* AppliedPhlebotinum: Discussed and averted. The "two ''Defiants''" escape, in which one would escape and the other would crash and create the colony was a typical Star Trek "Deus Ex Phlebotinum" solution allowing the crew to TakeAThirdOption was completely false, forcing the crew into an actual ''hard decision''. Kira even {{Lampshades}} it during her YouCantFightFate speech, feeling like it's "cheating".
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: The Sons of Mogh tell Worf they'd rather be ritually killed than have a "dishonorable" death by simply vanishing from reality.

* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: The Sons of Mogh tell Worf they'd rather be ritually killed than have a "dishonorable" death by simply vanishing from reality. Worf manages to TakeAThirdOption by giving them a "battle" to fight in their final hours so they can live to the end and still die with honor.
