Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe teleplay for this episode was co-written by Dorothy Fontana (aka D.C. Fontana), the head writer for the original Star Trek (1966) series, who wrote such episodes as Charlie X (1966), This Side of Paradise (1967), & Journey to Babel (1967), and Encounter at Farpoint (1987), the pilot episode for Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987). This was her only credit on 'Deep Space Nine' and was the last Star Trek script she wrote.
- GoofsThe hearing as a means to delay the extradition of Jadzia Dax in order to find evidence for her defense would be unnecessary. Even if the Klaestron IV representative was correct that they could conduct a "unilateral" extradition, the assault on Bashir would provide Sisko the right to hold their entire team for trial, rendering moot the need for the hearing since they could not transport Dax while in custody for assault.

Solid Character Development
This is one of the more affective character development episodes in DS9. We learn a lot about Jadzia Dax - or more correctly, Dax, the symbiont whose memory and personality Jadzia's personality is welded to. Dax is on trial for extradition to a planet where a previous incarnation - Sisko's friend Curzon Dax has apparently committed treason. Sisko comes to his/her defense, and argues, seemingly untenably, that Jadzia is not responsible for Curzon's acts. Jadzia refuses to defend herself. Meanwhile, Odo digs farther and deeper.
What I found very interesting about this episode is how Jadzia, Curzon and Dax's characters are so well illustrated in this episode with very little dialog or even facial expressions from them. Farrell, Brooks, and two of the guest stars - Fionnula Flanagan and Gregory Itzn stand out for acting in this one. The script is very good but also check out GlorieuxJ's enlightening review - I had no idea! The cinematography and directing are up the series' usual high standard.
