    DS9 hole in wall so perfect

    In DS9 civil defence, at 33:16, when they blow that hole in the wall using explosive material, how come the resulting hole is so round & near-perfect in shape?

    Because the prop or set department made it so. Keep in mind that a show is designed from a filming perspective first, internal story logic second. Explosion holes are almost always of a convenient size and nature in shows.

        Pretty sure you can do that but I know the bit you're talking about. It's just a oversight in production. Like the script probably called for either the explosion being caused some other way or that it called for a larger or more rounded stack of explosive material.

        If you want an in universe reason - The ore cart weakened that area of the door when they tried ramming it against it at first (since it had a circular ram on the front) so that was the part of the door that buckled in the explosion.

          thanks.. I think the circular ram on the front of the cart was only small, maybe 20cm in diameter but the hole in the wall was a perfect 1.5metres

            maybe not the bit i was talking about but it adds more questions:

            Why are the flames so perfectly lined either side of the jeffries tube, how does jake have superhuman strength, why does sisko press parts that aren't buttons and they beep as if they are?

              When he moves O'brian? I always took that as adrenaline and that he is a healthy teenager. Plus Miles might have helped him.

                You can see the chief pushing himself with his leg as Jake helps pull him.
