Notes

• The 11001001 in the title is binary, but translates to nothing “human readable” (or the character ©). It does however refer to the names of the individual Binars that appear here.
• Troi does not appear in this episode (the third of the season to date).
• The character of Quinteros was played by Gene Dynarski.  He appeared in two separate original series episodes – “Mudd’s Women” & “The Mark of Gideon“.
• The Binars do not appear in Star Trek again until the Lower Decks episode “A Few Badgeys More” (2023).
• Footage of the Enterprise-D approaching space dock is reused footage from “Star Trek III: The Search for Spock“.
