* ActorInspiredHeroism: Creator/AveryBrooks gave a firm "Hell ''NO''" when the original script made it clear that Sisko was with the Prophets for good, lending to UnfortunateImplications of a black man abandoning his newlywed wife, son, and unborn child. It was then changed so that Sisko promised Kasidy that he would return one day, which came true in the relaunch novels.

** While they wanted to include images of Jadzia in the flashbacks, the price quoted by Creator/TerryFarrell's management would have broke the already straining budget (hence the StockFootageFailure of the final battle of the Dominion War reusing many prior scenes), leading to her notable absence from any of them.

** Mark Shepard ([[TheVoiceless Morn's]] actor) tried to convince the producers to let Morn have the final spoken lines on the show.
