* DracoInLeatherPaints: The writers were unhappy that Dukat had developed such a fanbase because he was supposed to be the villain, so they wrote this episode to prove once and for all that he was evil. Ultimately, the character remained just as popular.

* {{Anvilicious}}: The episode's message about Dukat being the most evil thing ever was intentionally handled as bluntly as possible, in the hopes that his fans would finally stop justifying all the horrible things he does.[[note]]It didn't work[[/note]]

* FridgeBrilliance: Sisko seems especially peeved when Dukat starts going about how his actions are justified because the Cardassians were "the superior race" compared to the Bajorans, and how the Bajorans only had to "accept their place" to [[WhiteMansBurden obtain progress]]. In a vacuum, it already makes sense why a Starfleet officer would take umbrage with such a statement, but once you remember that Sisko is A. African-American, B. a history buff, and C. identifies relatively strongly with his ethnicity to a degree considered somewhat odd in-universe (e.g. him refusing to take part in Fontaine's [[PoliticallyCorrectHistory holo-simulation]], which his also-black girlfriend had no problem with), it becomes very apparent why he would nearly break his cover in response to that line in particular.

* BrokenBase: While the episode itself is regarded as among the show's best, some fans still question the wisdom of turning Dukat from a complex, layered villain into a straight-up OmnicidalManiac here. It's been suggested that Dukat's story really should have ended here, with either his death or his character arc wrapping up.
