Pripremajući se za moguću invaziju Dominiona, Kira konstatira kako je Deep Space Nine laka meta za moguće napade Jem'Hadar vojnika. Međutim, iznenada se pojavljuje Sisko sa eksperimentalnim brodom Defiant NX-74205 opremljenim uređajem za skrivanje.

The USS Defiant
* Of the creation of the USS Defiant, Robert Hewitt Wolfe points out, "Bringing in the Defiant was based on our own internal perceptions of something that would make the show better. It was not based on ratings." There was also a practical reason, as Ira Steven Behr explains, "We'd created villains who were that powerful, and all we had floating around as the thin red line of defense against this possible invading army were three runabouts." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
* Rick Berman was initially against the idea of the ship having a cloaking device because one of the tenets of Gene Roddenberry's universe was that Starfleet "did not believe in sneaking around." However, Ira Behr and Robert Wolfe were able to convince Berman that the Defiant was a unique ship in a unique situation and, with the added stipulation that the cloak could only be used in the Gamma Quadrant, Berman agreed. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
* Of the fact that the Defiant had a number of design problems, science consultant André Bormanis says, "I liked the idea of getting away from the concept that all Federation technology was squeaky clean and perfect. The Defiant has its problems because it's a prototype. it was hastily put together in the face of the Borg threat." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
* As his first contribution to the show, Ronald D. Moore was charged with naming the ship. He originally wanted to call the Defiant the USS Valiant, but was unable to, as the USS Voyager also began with a "V". As such, he decided to call it the Defiant after the ship seen in the Original Series episode "The Tholian Web": the USS Defiant. Moore later created a Defiant-class USS Valiant for the sixth season episode "Valiant".
* After deciding not to make T'Rul a recurring character (see below), the producers also decided not to use the cloaking device beyond "The Search, Part I". Indeed, they actually planned to mention early in the season that the cloak had been returned to the Romulans. So certain were they that it wouldn't be used again that they even informed production designer Herman Zimmerman and director of photography Jonathan West, and told them that they didn't need to design an elaborate lighting rig because the dimming effect seen when the ship is under cloak would only ever be seen once. As such, Zimmerman's set design didn't allow room for West to construct a rig which could contain the set-up necessary for both normal lighting and cloaked lighting. Instead, West had his crew simply manually change the lights for the scenes under cloak. Of course, only a few episodes later, in "Defiant", the cloak was once again employed, and many times after that, but the set and the lighting rig were never redesigned, so every time the ship went under cloak, West had to have his crew manually change all of the lights, something which he was quite annoyed about.

Story and script
* This episode is a continuation of the events portrayed in "The Jem'Hadar" and the first of a two-parter concluding with "The Search, Part II".
* In The Birth of the Dominion and Beyond featurette found on the DS9 Season 3 DVD, Robert Hewitt Wolfe explains the structure and organization of the Dominion: "The Gamma Quadrant isn't empty, it isn't just a bunch of planets. It's bound together by the Dominion, a very very tough, very smart, very old civilization, run by the mysterious Founders, who are experts in genetic engineering, and who turn out to be Odo's people, the Shapeshifters. They then go and engineer these slave races that do their bidding. Essentially, the two main slave races were the 'carrot' and the 'stick'. The carrot being the Vorta, who would come to your planet and say "Hey, you're nice people, here's some M-16s and some popcorn, and whatever else you want baby, alcohol, fire-water? All you have to do is sign this little contract and we'll make you cool". Then there's the Jem'Hadar. So the Vorta say "Oh, you don't want to play ball? Then meet these guys. They're gonna kick your ass"."
* This episode features the first on-screen appearance of the Karemma. They were mentioned in the season 2 episode "Rules of Acquisition", but they were not seen at that time. This episode also establishes that Quark was obviously successful in opening trade negotiations with the Karemma after being referred to them by the Dosi, and it suggests that Grand Nagus Zek's plan to get in touch with a higher ranking member of the Dominion by making demands which the Dosi couldn't fulfill was successful.

Cast and characters
* Rene Auberjonois initially felt that the decision to have Odo find his people was a bad idea; "I thought if we solved that mystery about Odo's character, I didn't know where we'd go with him." Auberjonois felt it would be the dramatic death of the character and that fans would lose interest in him. However, after being told that Odo would find his people, but would almost immediately alienate himself from them, Auberjonois came to see the potential; "What it did was make the character more complex. It just added to Odo's angst and to his depth, and it made him more challenging and interesting to play. And the fact that he ultimately comes to understand that he can't go back to his people, that he can't go home again. They opened up more avenues for me to travel as an actor." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
* Armin Shimerman hated the scene where Sisko makes Quark kiss the scepter of the Grand Nagus; "Despite the Federation's lip service to their Prime Directive, which says they're not supposed to apply their standards to any culture's attitudes, it seems to me that this was another example of the Federation making fun of, taking advantage of, and ridiculing the Ferengi way. So kissing the scepter was a bit irksome to both the actor and the character." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
* Jadzia Dax's new "up" hairstyle is unique to this episode and part II.
* According to Ronald D. Moore, the character of Michael Eddington, who is introduced in this episode, was initially conceived of merely to fill in when Colm Meaney was away doing a film, but over the course of the season, the writers decided to expand the character and even went so far, towards the end of the year, as to set Eddington up as a possible Founder infiltrator. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion) Of course, the pay-off for this would be in the season finale, "The Adversary", where Eddington is set up as something of a red herring.
* T'Rul was originally conceived to be a recurring character who would be in charge of operating the cloaking device on board the USS Defiant. However, after the initial two-parter, the producers realized that the character would not offer enough story material to warrant keeping her around. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
* This is the first episode in which Sisko expresses a love for Bajor and the first time he voices his refusal to allow it to fall, under any circumstances. The theme of Sisko's love for the planet would become more and more important as time went by, and would be one of his character's primary motivating goals in the series finale "What You Leave Behind".
* Odo's reaction to Lieutenant Commander Eddington is almost identical to his reaction to Lieutenant Primmin in the first season episode, "The Passenger" - on both occasions he tells Sisko that he will be handing in his resignation.
* This episode sees the first appearance of Salome Jens as the Female Changeling, the Founders and the Founders' homeworld. It is also the first time we see Romulans in Deep Space Nine.

Production
* This was the first episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine to air with no other Trek series on television.
* The new style combadge that was used up to and including Star Trek Nemesis is first seen in this episode.
* Odo's slightly altered makeup and uniform debuts in this episode.
* This is the first episode with Jonathan West as Director of Photography. He served as such for every episode of the series run, except for the ones he directed, starting from this episode.

Mogu rec da je dolazak defienta bio dosta urnebesan gotovo prijeteci , cijela se postaja ustrtarila kad je brod prisao postaji i bio jos skriven
Od podosta akcijskih epizoda ova mi je jedna od boljih i uvik je rado pogledam , iako minus ovih trostrukih epizoda je to sta ako propustis jednu propustio si bas mnogo
danas je dosao edingtonn , romulanci su posudili cloack federaciji u zamjenu za informacije o dominiju a prvi put su prikazane karenme , trgovacki predstavnici dominija
Zanimljivo je kako to funkcionira , vorte sve obavljaju i uglavnom su pristojni ali ako odbijes nekakvu njihovu zapovijed , salju jem haddare i sve pocinje bit opasno , a sto je jos jace nitko nezna za osnivace i oni su nekakav mit >:)
Kraj je odlican dax i obrien su ostavljeni na postaji dominija a defient pod napadom , brod mi sada izgleda dosta rastimano a i sam sisko je rekao da je prototip nedovrsen i na neki nacin slab
Ali svejedno i takav prototip je uspio unistit jedan jem hadarski brod
Odo i kira su uspijeli pobjec s defienta i zavrsit u omarion maglici , mjestu koje je vuklo oda k sebi , i na kraju otkrivamo odovu rasu mjenjolika , otkrivaju se founderi

jeste skuzili sesku ? (tj cini mi se da ista glumica glumi nju i romulanku)

Da, dobro ti se čini.

...nee... zanimljivi... promaklo mi...
...a i SGA sam skužio Ezri... jel se to računa?

...da se vratim na epizodu...
Jadzia je promijenila frizuru...
Sisko dolazi s Defaintom... želi pronaći ''Osnivače''...

...iznenađen (pozitivno) sam s odlukom Romulanaca da posude federaciji uređaj za skrivanje... i T'Rul što će kontrolirati taj uređaj na brodu...
...još samo da prestanu biti bahati... i mogu biti cool rasa...

Odo ima problema s autoritetima...

...kako je dobro Sisko nagovorio Quarka da ide s njima...
Sisko: ''Quark, zar nisi nešto zaboravio?'' LOL LOL


LOL Quark i Odo su cimeri!

Quark sobro pregovara s Karemmainima... i ostaje kod njih...

...i fajt!! kako su Jem'Hadarski lovci nanjeli puno štete Defaintu...

Iskomentirat cu obije epizode u part 2...

Desetka k'o kuća.
Neka kaže tko što hoće, no meni je scena decloakanja Defianta jedna od naj-uber-turbo-ultra-cool scena u cijelom Treku i koliko god je puta pogledao (a pogledao sam je valjda 100 puta), uvijek mi zastane dah.
Također, tko god prigovorio da Defiant ne valja jer su ga Jem'Hadari uspjeli zarobit i bla-bla, nema pravo. Kao što je rekao Captain, to je praktički još nedovršen brod, prototip na brzinu izvučen iz naftalina. Bar na početku je još totalno raštiman, a Milivojev popis zamjerki na brod dugačak je kao stol u sobi za sastanke (po Jadzijinim riječima).
Founderi su zbilja neobični, tko bi rekao da ih ima toliko, a Odo je mislio da je unikat. Čini mi se da od ove epizode Odo nekako počinje gubiti svoju stjenovitu čvrstoću i postaje pekmezav. Ovdje sam prvi puta vidio njegov blagojuneći izraz lica.
Sisku svaka čast na obrađivanju Quarka da ga pridobije za kontakt sa Karemcima. Zbilja je tata-mata u poslovanju sa Ferengijima, to je već prije dokazao zavaljavši i Nagusa.

Slazem se, odlicna scena, plus ona napetost prije declockanja...

Postimat ce ga Mile da bolje radi.... bilo je epizoda da su ga znali naci kako u nocne sate optimizira sve i svatsa (recimo u dolazecoj epizodi Defiant)

Yep, grozno je u sta se kasniej Odo pretvorio... pogotovo ono razdoblje dok se redovito spajao sa shapeshiftericom....

Odo i blagoteleci pogled

Ps , da malo se raspekmezi tokom serije
