Can someone get some better pics for the episode? Mine aren't very good. Johann 22:02, 11 Dec 2005 (UTC)

I know this probably isn't the best place to ask this, but does anyone know the name of the song that is played when Frankie firsts takes over? It's the same song that is played in Back to the Future during the dance.--docdude316 03:49, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
It was "Alamo" because Miles and Julian were asking if Vic would join them in thier holoprogram of The Alamo. Mainphramephreak 12:51, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
removed info
- During the heist, Doctor Bashir stares glumly at the cards he was dealt. He is holding a pair of eights and three kings (88KKK) - two slogans for some modern-day neonazi and racial superiority groups. Earlier in the episode, Sisko had been upset by the holosuite program's inaccurate portrayal of racial problems of mid-20th century Earth.
This was placed as background info in the article. A minor, coincidental note that has nothing to do with the episode's background; seems to be attempting to illustrate the producers' "hidden motives" where there are none. --From Andoria with Love 18:49, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
- I don't know - too much of a co-incidence if you ask me... KKK and 88 - both right wing groups - I feel deliberate, myself - Divine
- And if he had three 6s, people would be saying that it was the devils number. You know, sometimes it is just a coincidence. --OuroborosCobra talk

trivia
- * This is probably the first Star Trek episode in which a crisis occurs due to a holodeck that operates precisely as programmed.
How about Elementary, Dear Data? IIRC, the crisis in that episode stems from the fact that the computer does what it is told: create an enemy capable of defeating Data (not Sherlock Holmes).
- That situation was because a user in the holodeck (Geordi) created the situation. In Vic's case, the writer of the holoprogram designed it that way, just as it says in the episode: a jack-in-the-box. In Geordi's and Data's case, IMO, the computer created Moriarty because Geordi asked for it. In Vic's case, Felix wrote in the problem without anyone's knowledge. The "Sherlock Holmes" holoprograms were designed to follow a set of paramaters, i.e. Holmes' cases as writen in the novels. Vic's program was designed to be a place to relax, not to actually acomplish anything. This was why Felix program in the jack-in-the-box, so no one would get bored. So, in defense of the first persone to coment on this (no one ever signed anything), this is most likely the first Star Trek holo-problem that occurs precisely as programmed, and not because someone alter the program. My two slips. Mainphramephreak 13:35, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Only mention of race in 24th century
I think this is the only episode wherein a human character living in the 24th century overtly mentions or observes that their race/ethnicity is different from other humans. Though race and racism is dealt with often in allegory or in time-travel episodes. Also interesting is that Captain Sisko describes himself as "Black," suggesting "African American" might cease to be accurate in the 24th century.
DS9 Theme in episode
The background information states that the DS9 theme played in a jazz style at the end of the episode as Frankie is escorted from the casino. I just checked this, and it sounds absolutely NOTHING like the DS9 theme, even accounting for the difference in styles. Is there any supporting evidence for this? And can some other users check this for me, in case I am missing something?--Tiberius 13:47, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, I just checked. It's got a bit of the DS9 theme, but it's very subtle and very easy to miss. Sneaky composers...--Tiberius 13:50, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
The remixed theme is more apparent during the walk along just prior to Quark and Morn talking about Vic's bar - Me, 01:09 7 March 2007
Leslie Hoffman
Leslie can be seen when Sisko threw the money. She is the right woman in the flower dress who is crawling and collecting the Money. ;o) – Tom 22:41, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
