Background Information:
* This episode was directed by Jonathan Frakes, otherwise known as William T. Riker of Star Trek: The Next Generation. This was Frakes' third DS9 directing credit, and according to the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, it was his direction of this episode which secured him the job of directing Star Trek: First Contact.
* In this episode, aired in 1995, Sisko states that the 2015 London Kings were the greatest team in baseball history. Vin claims it was the 1999 New York Yankees; in reality, the Yankees did indeed win the World Series in 1999, but the Yankees team of the previous year won sixteen more games and has been often called one of the greatest teams ever.
* This episode originally aired the same day as Star Trek: Voyager's pilot "Caretaker": 15 January 1995.
* The official Star Trek Chronology states that the two years to which Miles O'Brien and Kira Nerys travel back in time in the hope of finding the others are 1930 and 1967.
* The boxing advertisement seen in the 1930 scene with Kira and O'Brien is the same advertisement seen in The Original Series episode "The City on the Edge of Forever". Indeed, according to the Deep Space Nine Chronicles, the reason this poster was used was to give a subtle hint that O'Brien and Kira were on Earth at the exact same time as Kirk and Spock.
* The song heard when Kira and O'Brien are teleported to the sixties is "Hey Joe", played by the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
* The advertisement seen in the sixties scene advertises a band called Berman's Rainbow Dreamers at the Behr Theater.
* The events in this episode take place over approximately three days.
* Clint Howard, who plays Grady in this episode, earlier portrayed Balok in the Original Series episode "The Corbomite Maneuver". However, the character of Grady was actually written for Iggy Pop, who turned out to be unavailable at the time. Ira Steven Behr would eventually get to cast Pop in the sixth season episode "The Magnificent Ferengi".
* According to Behr, the presentation of the character of B.C. in this episode is the key to the overriding theme. In "Past Tense, Part I", B.C. kills Gabriel Bell in cold blood, but in Part II, it is never mentioned that he is a murderer. The reason for this, according to Behr, is that B.C. would never have killed Bell if society hadn't forced him into that position. B.C. was not inherently a killer, and Behr was determined that the episode not become all about Sisko and Bashir trapped with a cold-blooded murderer. Behr says he is especially proud of the character of B.C., who he feels illustrates the notion that "if you treat people like animals, they become animals. If B.C. had not been homeless, what would he have been? We created his backstory, stuff that would never appear on the screen, and decided he probably would have been a garage mechanic or something. Even though he's obviously a threatening, scary character, and he's on-the-edge-crazy all through both shows, we didn't define him as a murderer." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
* Alexander Siddig feels that both "Past Tense, Part I" and "Past Tense, Part II" were important shows for Bashir: "This show was the end of the old Bashir and the beginning of the new, more responsible Bashir. Bashir had proved to everyone and himself that he can handle very tricky situations with almost no backup and no gizmos, not even the shotgun Sisko had. It became conceivable that Bashir would be your first or second choice on an away team if you were going on a combat mission. I think they were a renaissance pair of shows for Bashir." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
* When this episode aired, it received some criticism for being too preachy, liberal and soapboxy, something which disappointed Ira Steven Behr, who felt that the show had important things to say and that it treated a serious situation in a realistic manner; "We're not going to solve anything with two hours of TV. The homeless are still there. The problem hasn't gone away. But maybe just one person saw this and started to see the problem in a different way. In 1995, Forrest Gump was the feel-good movie of the year. Yes, it's important to feel good and I'm not putting that down. But in reality, in 1995, Forrest Gump would be homeless. I just thought it was important to show the other side." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
* Armin Shimerman (Quark) and Cirroc Lofton (Jake Sisko) do not appear in this episode.
* A script for this episode was sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay.

Necu puno komentirat jer to je obavljeno u komentarima za prvi dio epizode ali moram dvije stvari reci . prva je to da su hipiji bili ultra smijesni kad su dali cvijetice obrienu i kiri a druga je da skoro svaka vlast ima iste metode a to su , pucaj pa kasnije pregovaraj i pitaj pitanja , zalosno ali istinito

Haha bobo , vec zamislajm situaciju u kojoj je Q namjestio picardu (ne sisku) , da bude gabriel bell a picard spasava situaciju sa svojim uber mocnim intelektom , dok Q umire od smijeha

Ovo s hipijima je stvarno smijesno valjo sam se od smijeha

Nastavak onoga što se dogodilo u prvom dijelu. Sisko i Bashir ispravljaju ono što su napravili. Dobri su mi bili Kira i O'Brien sa svojim putovanjima i traženjem. Slažem se da je bio malo glup odabir tog zadnjeg razdoblja, trebali su nekako logičnije odabrati... no glavno da su uspjeli.

Sada jedno malo opažanje, možda i nelogičnost/greška u ove dvije epke... Kada su pokazivali Defiant u orbiti, Zemlja je uvijek bila potpuno plava + oblaci. Pa valjda se vidi i ponešto kopna iz svemira...

Isto ću iskomentirati u anketi za prvi dio...

Hmm... to bi bilo kao naše poznavanje povijesti iz 1650-ih i 60-ih...

Da, Sisko je za ovu situaciju koristio puno direktnije metode

Pa doktor Bashir nije poznavao dvadeset i prvo stoljeće, a kapetan Sisko se njime bavio. I kod nas je moguće da je netko, na primjer, stručnjak za sedamnaesto stoljeće ili čak antiku.
Super je epizoda, devet.
Ona službenica mi je bila najsimpatičniji lik jer nije bila kao Vin.

Nije neosnovano za pretpostaviti da prosječni školovani feds posjeduje znanja o prošlosti svoga planeta.... pogotovo ako bi ti neredi bili prijelomni trenuci toga dijela povijesti.

Genetski poboljšani Bashir bi onda još i ispao kao neznalica

A Sisko koliko sam primjetio, dosta čestoje u takvim situacijama - borba protiv rasizma i ksenofobije (kao onda kad se nađe kao kniževnik u 40ima ili 50ima..., i čini mi se da ga kao lika zaokupljaju takve stvari, pa nije čudno za pretpostaviti da je upoznat i sa "utočistima" i da yna tko je bio Gabriel Bell...

Upravo tako. U kasnijim dijelovima serije, kad susretnemo holoprogram sa slavnim pjevačem Vicom Fontaineom u Las Vegasu 1960-ih, vidjet ćemo Siskovo gnušanje prema tom vremenskom razdoblju. Sve do epizode 7x15 "Badda-Bing Badda-Bang" nije želio ući u holobar jer u programu nije prikazana stvarna situacija o još uvijek segregacijskom odnosu prema crncima.

Btw, epizodi cener kao i prvom dijelu jer mi se sviđa cijela priča, a Sisko je opak sa sačmaricom u rukama.

Nije Bashir neznalica, nego emotivno preosjetljiv pa mu je naše stoljeće depresivno.
