“Maybe the Prophets don’t recognize you with the new beard.”
These two are a lot of fun 
Wormhole’s acting up
(that doesn’t sound right)
… the changelings have reached Earth…
ominous. also: good job, Worf.
the Brits (and O’Brien? who is Irish…?) fighting their Battle of Britain centuries afterwards. Hahahaha.
I like this conversation with Odo, Bashir, and O’Brien about Odo’s trip to Earth.
Our gods are dead… they were more trouble than they were worth
oh, Klingons.
Wow, so many red shirts in one place… but security staff are now yellow
acting head of Earth security? that’s not really a promotion, is it
“I’m suspicious of people who don’t eat.”
I can understand that. It’s fun to see 3 generations of Siskos
oh so cute Nog came to visit 
“they call it the academy, but it’s really school”
how did you not pick up on that at the start, Nog?
It’s so odd to hear about a civilian government on Earth
“there’s no test created that a smart man can’t find his way around”
Grandpa Sisko, go argue with contemporary security theater, please!
the enemy within, indeed.
“when a son can’t trust his own father…”
“with the exception of the Borg incident”
that’s a big-ass exception, dude.
This episode was originally supposed to be the finale of the third season, with “Paradise Lost” being the opening episode of the fourth season. Towards the end of season 3 however, Paramount said they didn’t want a cliffhanger finale, but something more open-ended leading into season 4. The writers’ solution was “The Adversary”, a finale which put them in a position to go in any number of alternative directions come the new season. Then, during the hiatus between season 3 and season 4, Paramount instructed the writers to do ‘something’ to shake up the show for the fourth season, which ultimately led to the introduction of the Klingons and Worf to the main cast of character in the episode “The Way of the Warrior”. All of these developments meant that the “Homefront”/“Paradise Lost” story was pushed back into the middle of the fourth season.
As much as I love Worf I also love the Dominion war storyline.
More trivia!
Odo’s got some good insight into humanity
This is the first time we see Sisko’s in New Orleans, and the first time we see Brock Peters as Joseph Sisko. He previously played Admiral Cartwright in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
The writers saw Jaresh-Inyo as being like Jimmy Carter.
No wonder I think he’s a reasonable and ethical guy
I’m not sleeping, I’m checking my eyelids for holes!
And Federation troops are still troops… ominous to see them in the streets
