Line 18:
* [[Cool Ship|The Defiant]] came into play because the producers realized that after introducing The Dominion in season two, it made no sense that the only defense Deep Space Nine would have was itself and three Runabout shuttlecraft, even before the first open conflict at the ending of season two.
** This was also the point when Starfleet began to quietly upgrade DS9 into a station that could fend off a Klingon fleet of more than fifty ships in ''Way of the Warrior.'' This from a station that was overwhelmed by just three Cardassian warships in the pilot.
* Another example: Worf was reassigned to the station after the destruction of the ''Enterprise-D'' in ''[[Star Trek Generations]]''. This meant that the writers needed to come up with a reason -- ''any'' reason -- to have Worf present on the ''Enterprise-E'' for his subsequent appearances in the Next Gen movie franchise. ''[[Star Trek: First Contact]]'' gives a reasonable explanation. ''[[Star Trek: Insurrection]]'' blatantly [[Hand Wave|Hand Waves]] his presence at the beginning of the movie: he begins to explain what he's doing there before Riker starts talking over him. Finally, in ''[[Star Trek Nemesis]]'' -- which is set after the ''Deep Space Nine'' finale, in which Worf {{spoiler|resigns from Starfleet and becomes the Federation Ambassador to the Klingon Empire}} -- Worf {{spoiler|is on the ''Enterprise-E'', in Starfleet, as a member of its crew,}} with ''no explanation at all''<ref>There actually was an explanation given, [[All There in the Manual|but it was cut from the final film]].</ref>.
** Perhaps ''Insurrection'' takes place between episodes of ''Deep Space Nine'' during Worf's brief vacation from the station in an attempt to be ''very'' far away from Keiko O'Brien during her pregnancy (Which didn't last long anyway, but Worf wouldn't know that until he got back).
*** The pregnancy was two years past by that point - Insurrection occurred in Season 7, Kirayoshi O'Brien was born in Season 5.
