Notes

• Running fired torpedo count: 62 (one this episode).  This contradicts the hard limit set in “The Cloud” of 38.
• There is a loose connection between this ep and “The Best of Both Worlds“.  In that ep, the panel Jouret IV appeared, shown to have been attacked by the Borg.  That same planet is shown in astrometrics here, and those same craters from the former ep are shown on the Brunali homeworld, too.
• Seven tells Icheb that she never saw her father again after he was assimilated, which is incorrect, as her father showed up in “Dark Frontier” as a Borg drone.
• Leucon is played by Mark A. Sheppard.  He is the son of W. Morgan Shepherd.  While this is the only appearance of Mark in Star Trek, his father was in two Trek episodes and the sixth movie.  Mark also played the younger version of Canton Delaware in Doctor Who’s “The Impossible Astronaut” & “Day of the Moon“.
