Background Information:

* The original pitch for this episode, by Christian Ford and Roger Soffer, was based on the 1818 Mary Shelley novel Frankenstein, with Bashir in the role of Dr. Victor Frankenstein. The story concerned a Federation ambassador involved in peace negotiations with the Romulans whose shuttle is damaged and who dies in the sick bay on Deep Space 9. However, the treaty negotiations are at a pivotal moment, so Bashir is able to figure out a way to 're-animate' the ambassador's brain, essentially bringing him back to life. However, over the course of the episode, he begins to go mad, and in the last scene, Bashir is forced to allow him to die once again. The reason this idea was scrapped was because the producers felt that the audience wouldn't have much empathy with a character who they'd only just been introduced to. According to Ronald D. Moore, "we were trying to make it a Bashir show, but in reality, everything focused on the ambassador, and nobody cared about him." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
* The solution to the problem of audience apathy was to make the ambassador a character whom the audience knew and cared about. The producers considered changing the role to O'Brien, who was rumored to want to leave the show to concentrate on film work, but actor Colm Meaney assured them he had no intentions of leaving. As such, they changed it to Vedek Bareil, mainly because they weren't happy with how the Bareil-Kira relationship was going, and because they weren't sure where the Bareil character was heading. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
* This episode marks the death of Vedek Bareil Antos. Philip Anglim later plays the mirror universe version of the character in the sixth season episode "Resurrection".
* The Bajoran-Cardassian Treaty is signed during this episode.
* While shooting her scenes Louise Fletcher (Kai Winn) was extremely ill with the flu and had to lie down between takes. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
* After this episode aired, the producers received an extremely angry email from a group calling themselves 'The Friends of Vedek Bareil'. The email angrily protested the death of Bareil and enclosed were pictures of a memorial service they had held for him. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
* Jim Martin designed two major props for this episode: a "brain scanner" and a "brain operator". The scanner was a small light-weight device which would be placed over the head, the operator was a large device which enclosed the head, apart from a small opening at the back. However, when Martin saw some of the dailies for the episode, he was amazed to see the scanner being used as the operator and vice versa. Director Reza Badiyi couldn't figure out which was which, so he took a guess. Martin thought this mix up was hilarious. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
* Although the producers were happy with both the A-story and the B-story as individual stories, they were not happy with their combination in this episode. According to Ira Steven Behr, after viewing the first set of dailies which included scenes from both stories, the producers were beyond shocked, and a feeling swept through the room like "What the hell have we done?" The decision to have a grim A-story and a humorous B-story was Ronald D. Moore's, who explains, "I said to everyone, 'This is such a grim episode, we should have a light B-story, maybe let Jake and Nog do some fun stuff.' It sounded great in concept, and I enjoyed writing the scenes, but, man, such a mistake!" (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
* The episode "Shakaar" is a sequel of sorts to this episode.

Sram te bilo bobo

Zao mi je vedeka baraila ali prica sa nogom i jakeom je bila zanimljivija , nog je pravo kretenski se ponasao prema pratilji , zasluzio je pomirenje u zatvoru

Bashir se igrao dr. Frankensteina. Šteta za Bareila. Ova bitch Winn je samo mislila na sebe i pregovore. Da slučajno nisu uspjeli, Bareil bi bio kriv, a ovako će ona preuzeti sve zasluge... Nogove manire sa suprotnim spolom su genijalne.

Vrlo zanimljiva ideja ali ne i toliko dobra obrada...

Nog i Jake priča je okej... medjurasni odnosi , mogu li dvoje ljudi iz dvije toliko različite kulture prevazići razlike i biti prijatelji.... njima to koliko-toliko uspjeva

Glavna priča s pregovorima je puno zanimljivija...

Kai Winn se je još jednom pokazala kao glavna gadura serije.... niti female changeling a kamoli Lwaxana ju u tome ne mogu dostići... koristila je Bareila kao oruđe u provedbi svojih ciljeva, bilo direktno kroz polagano umiranje zbog ljekova i ostalog, bilo kao žrtvenog janjca u slučaju da pregovori ne uspiju...



Bashir je održavajući Bareila na životu (zahvaljujući onoj radijaciji) došao do granice gdje čovjek prestaje biti čovjek i ostaje samo blijedi otisak onoga što je nekad bio... i tamo se našao u dilemi...
Bilo bi fakat spooky vidjeti u šta bi se pretvorio da mu je doktor i drugi dio mozga uklopio u pozitronski implant... kad je već s ovim bio toliko oštećen.... da li bi na kraju ispao nešto slično dati u smislu da obojica imaju po pozitronski mozak_

Želja mu je bila da uspješno završi pregovore, jer smatrao da to Proroci žele od njega da napravi, i da se i žrtvuje ako treba...

Nakon 100 godina vračam se da komentiram epizode.

Solidna epizoda sa velikom minutažom iritacije uzrokovane babetinom Win.
Julian mi je bio glavni kada je babu spustio i na neki naćin uvrijedio.
Ostatak oko bolesnika je malko emotivan i još toliko dosadan.

Jake i Nog uvelike izvlaće epizodu, posebno Nog koji je u svakoj novoj epizodi sve bolji.

Sjedi, 5.

Da sročimo, bio nešto kao Data.

Data je poseban , nitko nebi bio kao data osim samog date

Nebih se složio, koliko znam, Bashir mu je ubacivao dijelove Pozitronskog mozga. Dakle tehnologija nastala na bazi dr. Soonga. A što se tiće ostatka tijela i to bi se s vremenom sve zamijenilo zbog nuspojava od onoga lijeka.
