Trivia / Star Trek: Deep Space Nine S06 E03 “Sons and Daughters”

• Deleted Scene: After Kira calls Dukat an interstellar tyrant, Dukat retorts that he prefers the term "despot". Dukat proposes to assign Damar to escort Ziyal to the opening of her exhibit. Kira points out that "He's a self-righteous sycophant who despises everything Bajoran," and notes that Damar sneers whenever he says "Bajoran". Dukat denies this just as Damar walks in, giving a report and sneering whenever Bajorans are mentioned. Kira can't help but laugh. Damar glares at Kira, but continues his report and leaves. Dukat then imitates Damar, causing Dukat and Kira to laugh together. The scene appears in the novelization of this episode.
• The Other Darrin: With this episode, Marc Worden becomes the third and, to date, final actor to play Alexander Rozhenko.
• Out of Order: While this was the third broadcast episode of Season 6, it was the second one to be filmed. Which resulted in a mix-up when the Season 6 DVD box-set had the episodes in their production order rather than their aired order, doubtless resulting in many viewers who watched the episodes for the first time on DVD getting confused.
• Prop Recycling: The Par'tok-class Klingon cargo ships shown in this episode use the same model as the Cardassian freighter Groumall from "Return To Grace", painted green and with a few slight modifications to the engines. The episode's effects supervisor, David Stipes, would later suggest that they may actually have been captured Cardassian freighters that had been refitted by the Klingons.
