* AuthorsSavingThrow: Bashir being genetically enhanced is a pretty obvious {{Retcon}}, but is very popular with fans and widely held up as a prime example of how to do one correctly, as it single-handedly explains the numerous inconsistencies about his background that had piled up by this time (he was lying to hide his true background), doesn't actively contradict anything we've already seen, and even takes a previous random factoid (his missing valedictorian by a single question on his final, which he ''should'' have gotten right, and it's been heavily implied that he missed it on purpose) and turns it into a killer piece of foreshadowing.

* OneBookAuthor: This is Fadwa El Guindi's (Amsha Bashir) only acting credit -- because outside of this, she is very much ''not'' a OneBookAuthor. She's a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fadwa_El_Guindi noteworthy anthropologist]] who quipped "[[ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder I'm an anthropologist, not an actress]]!" Her only acting credit prior to this was filling in for the lead actress in a play she directed -- that happened to be attended by assistant casting director Ron Surma.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In the original script, Bashir's secret isn't exposed. Alexander Siddig, who was already angry about the script (because he would have played Bashir differently if the secret had existed from the beginning), insisted that it be revealed to everyone.
