"Out of Time" is indeed the second O'Brien episode of the season and all of the above questions will be answered in that show.

Not really. His notion was that it was the afterlife, or the next life, or another life or something.

<>

There is a possibility and we have discussed several different story ideas featuring them -- none in active development yet, however.

<>

Yes. In fact, we're going to do an episode where Sisko accidently drinks a Changeling that was hiding in a glass as a piece of ice in Quark's when the Captain ordered some water...

The assumptions that were made in "The Art of Star Trek" were just that -- assumptions. There was nothing wrong with them believing that the Defiant was a Valiant-class ship, but in the upcoming episode, "Valiant" it is established in dialog that these ships are all technically Defiant-class.

I have never posted anything to TrekWeb and I certainly have never quoted any production figures for any episode of the series.

I believe that Ira (who I believe gave this quote originally) was simply trying to convey the idea that the first 10 were going to be much more interconnected than we had ever done up to that time. There might have been a vague idea about shooting them in a different filmic style, but I don't think that notion ever got very far.

Why didn't you just use a Klingon Attack Cruiser, like the ones from "Redemption" and "The Way of the Warrior"?>>

The feeling was that the Attack Cruiser wouldn't look that sexy on the big screen and the only practical options were the BofP or a new ship.

"Out of Time" is episode 24. Other titles are still TBD.

<>

All I'll say is to look for them in episode 19, "In the Pale Moonlight."

<>

The above mentioned show will be a war-themed story that is very personal to Sisko. Also "Valiant" and the final episode will feature personal stories set against the unfolding events of the war.

<>

There was a formal declaration of war.
