* SpecialEffectsFailure: When Worf grabs the arm of the Jem'Hadar choking Garak, you can clearly see that the scales on his arm are just a loose fitting sleeve that easily shifts under Worf's grip.

* HilariousInHindsight: In a schadenfreude way, learning that Bashir had been replaced by a Changeling makes it rather amusing to note from "The Begotten" how often "Bashir" had apparently been having to treat Odo for his various aches and injuries as a solid.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: TheReveal that Bashir had been replaced by a Changeling mole could have spawned a whole story of its own, but it ends up relatively ancillary to the plot.
** The Bashir and Martok revelations also prove that the Federation and Klingon's blood tests are completely useless, and have been since at least "The Way of the Warrior." That means any characters the show had followed over the last year and half who didn't test positive ''might'' have actually been Founders after all. Sadly, this is never followed up.

Ha ha! This line bears a surface-level similarity to an unrelated plot point! That's hilarious! Said no one.


* HilariousInHindsight: When Garak tells Worf he's thinking of applying to Starfleet Academy, he says "With my extensive experience I could skip the lower ranks entirely and begin my career as a Commander." In ''Film/StarTrek2009'', that's practically what happens to the Kirk of that timeline, who goes from being a cadet to Captain.
