Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMGM Studios, owners of the James Bond movie franchise, were said to be unhappy with the episode, which they felt crossed the line from parody to infringement. Studio officials sent a letter to DS9 series producers, expressing their displeasure, which resulted in the cancellation of a planned sequel episode about Agent Bashir's further adventures. (Agent Bashir was then limited to cameos within a few episodes of the series.) This was similar to the controversy which happened when TNG attempted to spoof Sherlock Holmes in Elementary, Dear Data (1988) and Ship in a Bottle (1993).
- GoofsDr. Bashir states that it is illegal to enter into a holosuite while it is in use. This is often believed to be contradicted by the many instances of this happening throughout Star Trek: Voyager (1995) and Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987); however, those shows take place on Federation starships, and would therefore be subject to Starfleet regulations. This incident takes place aboard a Bajoran space station, however, and would therefore be subject to Bajoran law, not Starfleet regulations. Therefore, it may well be illegal on DS9 for someone to enter into a holosuite in use, while the same behavior is overlooked, or even allowed, onboard Starfleet vessels.
- Quotes
Dr. Julian Bashir: I work for one of the nation states of this era, Great Britain, which is battling various other nations in what is called the Cold War. This apartment, my clothes, weapons, even my valet were provided to me by my government.
Garak: I think I joined the wrong intelligence service.

Not to be taken seriously
This one is reasonably entertaining I must say, although it loses points for Nana Visitors terrible russian accent and acting. Though in fairness I'm just not a fan of her acting in general, so that might just be it. I understand some people are big fans, so opinions etc...
Worth watching for the laughs, but doesn't advance the plot atall.
