Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Show generally

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.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

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.

Body Parts - S4-E25

Visible crew/equipment: During a pan-across of Quark's bar after it has been emptied out, the shadow of the camera is visible for a moment in the bottom right corner of the screen. (00:40:35)

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.
