Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGarak's role and actions in this episode are similar to the character Danny in The Great Escape (1963). Both men were forced to work in a confined area and both suffered from claustrophobia. It is also worth noting that Andrew Robinson himself suffers from mild claustrophobia, and on the day the crawl space scenes were shot, he was suffering from the flu.
- GoofsThe changeling impersonated Dr. Bashir for over a month, interacting with the station crew many times, including Odo. Odo was previously able to detect the presence of other changelings, even when disguised as Starfleet officers, for example in season 4's "Homefront."
- Quotes
General Martok: There is no greater enemy than one's own fears.
Lt. Commander Worf: It takes a brave man to face them.

Yippee...violence!
I am actually NOT a huge fan of violence. However, with some shows, such as "Star Trek: Deep Space 9", the more warlike the plot, generally the more enjoyable the show. Sedate and cerebral shows, on the other hand, were generally the least enjoyable. Odd but this is indeed the case.
"By Inferno's Light" is the second of a two-part episode--both of which are excellent. Both have a lot of intrigue and excitement. In the first show, Garak and Worf are captured by Jem'Hadar troops who are about to invade the Alpha Quadrant. Now in part two, their job is to survive and, if possible, find their way back to Deep Space 9. As for the folks on DS9, they see the Jem'Hadar coming but also learn that there is some traitor on the station, as key systems begin to fail. What's next in this invasion episode? See it and learn for yourself.
Overall, some very exciting stuff in this one--and well worth seeing.
