Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - 03x01 The Search, Part I

Summary: With the unpleasant introduction of the Dominion to the Federation, the Alpha Quadrant begins to worry about a possible invasion from their neighbors in the Gamma Quadrant. Major Kira has run countless simulations on a possible attack and Deep Space Nine is always shown to be vulnerable. As Ops meets to discuss the matter further, a cloaked ship appears almost within the range of the station's shields. As the crew watches the ship uncloak, they notice that it bears the nomenclature of a Starfleet ship. Commander Benjamin Sisko hails the station from the vessel, introducing his staff to the USS Defiant. Armed with the latest Federation vessel, the crew of Deep Space Nine head into the Gamma Quadrant to find the Dominion's leaders, known only as the Founders.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

PLOT: Before escaping from the Defiant, Odo and Kira get into a heavy fight with the Jem'Hadar. Since the Jem'Hadar have a genetically inbred deference for any Changeling, as established only a few episodes later, it is highly unlikely they would have attacked Odo or even touched him at all.
