Line 17:
*** Now if only they could just have put ''Zek'' in that episode somehow. Surely they could have found a way.
** Bill Mumy, best known as Lennier in rival ''[[Babylon 5]]'', or Will Robinson of ''[[Lost in Space]]'', appears in "The Siege of AR-558".
* [[Homage]]: "Far Beyond The Stars" seems to be a full episode story about [[EC Comics]]'s [http://asylums.insanejournal.com/scans_daily/54803.html Judgment Day] which ended the magazine that published it the same time the story is set when the publishers and management disagreed about having the Hero be black.
* [[Shout-Out]]: In the penultimate episode, Quark cops some of Picard's speech from ''[[Star Trek: First Contact]]'' to defend the sacred Ferengi practice of sexual extortion from employees.
** Morn is [[Significant Anagram|an anagram]] of Norm, from ''[[Cheers]]''. It was entirely intentional.
** In the comedic episode "Trials and Tribble-ations," the two agents who show up to investigate Sisko's [[Timey-Wimey Ball|time traveling shenanigans]] are named Dulmer and Luscly, [[X Files|anagrams of "Mulder" and "Scully."]]
** When the occupying forces on DS9 in ''The Siege'' find that Odo (the shape-shifter) is missing, their commander concludes the situation is "[[Transformers|more than meets the eye]]".
** In ''Looking for Par'Mach in All the Wrong Places,'' Quark states his opinion on war, and what it is good for. {{spoiler|Absolutely Nothing}}
** The Breen's refrigeration suits are modeled after Princess Leia's disguise as Ubese bounty hunter Bouschh in the beginning of ''[[Return of the Jedi]]''.
** In "Crossover" (the first [[Mirror Universe]] episode since [[Star Trek: The Original Series|TOS]]), Quark stands accused of helping human slaves escape captivity, and tells the enforcing officer (mirror Garak, a Gul) that [[Casablanca|he is nothing more than a simple barkeep and doesn't stick out his neck for anyone]].
** In "The Way of the Warrior", Quark speculates that perhaps he should have listened to his cousin who said, "Quark, [[The Graduate|I got one word for you]]: 'weapons'."
** The episode "The Nagus" is an homage to ''[[The Godfather]]'', especially the scene where Quark "receives" guests in his quarters.
** Sisko's "Hello, ship" was a direct reference to the [[Steve McQueen]] movie ''[[The Sand Pebbles]]'', and the ship in question was also named the ''Sao Paulo''. {{spoiler|But not for long. It was soon rechristened ''Defiant''.}}
** In a more subtle one Garak manages to be [[John Le Carre]]'s most famous novel: he is [[Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy|a Tinker, a Tailor, a Soldier, and a Spy]]
** A conversation between Sisko and Quark in "The Jem'hadar" heavily references a similar one in ''[[The Great Outdoors]]''.
** In the final episode, Sisko's words to Kasidy about when he'll be able to return from being with the "Prophets" echo what a character from ''[[Martian Successor Nadesico]]'' said to his wife just before going off to war. The Nadesico guy said, "It might be tomorrow. It might be ten years from now. But I will come back."
* [[What Could Have Been]]:
** Melora from season 2 episode "Melora" was meant to be the permanent science officer, but was replaced with Dax and reused as a one-off guest character.
