** The concept of Bashir or any other character trying to repair a damaged Deep Space 9 that symbolizes their mind with crewmembers that represent different aspects of their personality could make for a great reveal or twist to an otherwise normal episode. However, Bashir figures its out and spells it out for everyone about halfway through the episode, so any sense of mystery or intrigue from the viewer figuring out the twist is quickly thrown away.
** The opening scene has Bashir and Garak discussing Cardassian mystery novels, where the style of writing is that "everyone is guilty", and the mystery is in figuring out how. Coupled with Bashir noting that O'Brien, Kira, Dax, and Odo, are acting peculiarly out-of-character, this seems to be setting up the episode as a Cardassian-style mystery where the ship's lack of power is somehow everyone's fault and Bashir must figure out how they caused it. However, the plot goes in an entirely different direction.

People in their 30s still feel like they're getting older and mourn the end of their 20s.

* ValuesDissonance: Bashir regards 30 as the start of middle age, the time when one starts to slow down and settle down. In the New 10s and beyond, improved life expectancy and quality of life, and numerous other societal factors, have shifted that perception and most people in their 30s (especially their early 30s) would not consider themselves "middle aged" anymore. There's a reason for the saying "40 is the new 30".

* FridgeLogic: Bashir is grumpy about turning 30, since 30 is the start of middle-age. While this is true today and back when the show aired, when the average human life expectancy is 60-70 years and some can live to their 80s, it doesn't really apply to the ''Star Trek'' universe, where humans can live to be over a century old and still enjoy active careers and personal lives at that age. Why does Bashir still regard 30 as being some sort of dour milestone when it's less than a third of his lifespan?
