This episode marks the first mention of Cardassians.

   
After Hoshi hacks the security system and gets out of the decon chamber she runs to a bulkhead and shouts in Russian: "Mnje nuzhno skazat' "Doh svihdahnija!". That means "I need to say 'Goodbye'". Her accent is a little weak, though.
   
At the beginning during the opening shot when the camera is going around Travis and Malcolm playing chess, you can see Dominic Keating (Malcolm) looking right into the camera for a second.
   
Since the Organians took over human bodies, they probably have no choice but to communicate like humans do.
   
Near the end, one of the Organians complains about how talking is such a limited form of communication. But that's all the two Organians have been doing the entire episode. And they seem to do it pretty well, both among themselves and with the crew. So what's the problem with "talking?"
   
Hoshi reveals she has a black belt in Aikido.
