Line 13:
** That's because it died in that very same episode.
** Well, it never existed. The timeline was collapsed. That's... different from dying, right?
** The changeling referenced in the first line is Laas from Season 7. The above two lines are referring to two different Season 5 episodes. Laas and the disease are a loose end on the show itself, though the [[Star Trek Deep Space Nine
=== [[Fridge Logic]] ===
* [[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.
*** Dialogue also establishes that the movie took place after the end of the Dominion War; which ended in the final episode of DS9.
* There was also the obligatory trial episode, where a crew member had to represent Dax because they had no lawyers. At all. To reiterate the scenario, this is a government that's being operated according to Bajoran law, but is enforced by Starfleet personnel, and is dealing with fallout from what was done under the Cardassian government. ''Why. The. Hell. do they not have any legal experts''? They should need an entire team of them!
