  • Fridge Brilliance: Eddington gives Sisko a copy of Les Misérables and compares Sisko's obsession with capturing him to Javert's obsession with capturing Valjean. In fact, Javert's obsession with Valjean is a case of Adaptational Displacement. In the original book, which Eddington claims is his favorite, Valjean means no more to Javert than any other criminal. However, this bit of Misaimed Fandom perfectly fits Eddington's personality. He believes Javert is obsessed with Valjean, when in fact Javert is just a workaholic police officer tracking a fugitive, just like he believes Sisko is obsessed with him, when in fact, since Eddington defected, Sisko has had nearly a year's worth of adventures in which Eddington's name never came up.
  • Special Effect Failure: For some reason the visual effects for the Badlands were changed in this episode, and none too successfully, making it look less like the fiery maelstrom it was supposed to be, and more like a jacuzzi bath filled with urine.
