Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe term "comfort women" was used by the Japanese during World War II, for Chinese, Korean and Phillipine women forced to be sex slaves for their soldiers.
- GoofsWhen Kira is sent back in time, she arrives with a new set of clothes and different hairstyle but the same large earring on her right ear. In Bajoran culture, that earring is very personal and denotes identity and family history. Seeing her with it would give away her identity to the family members she sees in the past, or at least raise their curiosity about how she has a symbol of their family.
- Quotes
Kira Taban: [in a recorded message to his wife, who has become a Cardassian comfort woman] Meru, I hope the Cardassians aren't lying to me, and that they really will send this message to you. I know it's only been a few weeks that we've been back home; but you should see the children. It's like they've been transformed. Reon and Pohl are laughing and playing together; they've never been happier. And I swear, little Nerys must have gained five pounds. Of course, they keep asking for you. I've told them that you're still at the refugee center. I think that's best, at least for the time being. I can't believe how much I miss you. I think about you all the time. You've saved all our lives. I hope you realize that. Never forget it, not even for an instant. Every day, I pray to the Prophets that you'll find some peace in this new life of yours. I believe that even in the worst of times, we can still find moments of joy and kindness. If you can find that kindness, hold on to it. And remember, no matter what happens, I love you, Meru. I'll always love you.

But the main plot is absurd. You can almost see the writers around the table in the middle of a season grasping for some new idea.
There has been so much interaction between Kira and Gul Dukat for 6 years - no hint of this ever emerges -despite some very varied and intense plots with them. Dukat just calls and drops this on her out of nowhere. Just dumb.
Gul Dukat and Kira are pretty prominent people on DS9 and in the Bajoran world - is it really feasible that no one made the connection between Gul Dukat's Bajoran lover for 7 years, and Kira? No one was able to put this ridiculously obvious connection together? Just silly.
If Kira is around 5 or so when her mother goes away, and is clearly in her 30's when DS9 starts - that means Gul Dukat has been in command of DS9 and Bajor for about 30 years. Again - such an obvious plot contradiction with all that has come before in the history of Bajor and DS9.
The Orb of Time - you can change the past that easy? I mean, come on.
There's more - but you get the point.
Again, stupid plot - but actually a watchable episode once you turn your brain completely off.
