Nitpickery: Near the beginning of the episode, Sisko says he wishes he could have the Defiant standing guard over the station "twenty-six hours a day." There are numerous references to twenty-six-hour days throughout the series, so, while it is never explicitly stated, it can be assumed that Bajor takes twenty-six hours to make one rotation and since DS9 is a Bajoran station, that is the schedule this crew follows. So what am I nitpicking? Avery Brooks (Sisko) puts an odd emphasis on the word "six" when he delivers his line, as if he's exaggerating or saying something out of the ordinary. I feel like the line should have been delivered more casually. Imagine if someone emphasized the "four" when they said, "Our store is open twenty-FOUR hours a day."
