Continuity mistake: Since Dax's spots were stencilled on individually every day, the shapes and patterns have a tendency to change slightly from scene to scene in any given episode.
Suggested correction: Unless you can cite a specific instance where the change is obvious (taking stills and minutely comparing the patterns doesn't count), this is much too vague to count as a mistake.
What You Leave Behind (2) - S7-E26
Quark: The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Trivia: Buck Bokai, a baseball player from the 21st Century, who becomes "real" in this episode, broke Joe DiMaggio's consecutive hitting streak in 2026. While he's not physically seen or referred to by name, this fact is mentioned in the 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' episode "The Big Goodbye."
Question: I've noticed in some episodes the person playing Dr. Bashir is credited as Siddig El Fadil and in others he's Alexander Siddig. At what point in the series did he have the name change?
Answer: He changed his name after the third season because people were having difficulty pronouncing his last name."Alexander Siddig" is the name he typically goes by as his full birth name, "Siddig El Tahir El Fadil El Siddig Abderahman Mohammed Ahmed Abdel Karim El Mahdi", is far too verbose and complex for screen credits.
