Notes

• Running fired torpedo count: 71.  This contradicts the hard limit set in “The Cloud” of 38.
• This story was apparently pitched before they filmed “Caretaker” – was sitting on the shelf for awhile.
• The first time full Klingons appear in the series (except the version the Vidiians creation of B’Elanna in “Faces“). Prior appearances have been holograms, dream sequences, or alternate realities.
• There is a loose reference here to Harry Kim’s activities in the episode “The Disease” here.
• Sherman Howard plays the Klingon T’Greth here.  He was also Endar in TNG’s “Suddenly Human” and the Vulcan Syvar in DS9’s “Shakaar“.
• The Klingon Morak was played by Paul Eckstein.  He was also the “New Alpha Hirogen” in “Flesh and Blood“.  He was also a “Young Hirogen” in the episode “The Killing Game”.  It’s unclear if they’re supposed to be the same one.  Other roles he’s had: Limara’Son in DS9’s “Rocks and Shoals“, Supervisor Yost in “Gravity“, an unnamed Jem’Hadar in DS9’s “The Dogs of War“.
• The Klingon Kohlar was played by Wren T. Brown.  He was also an Enterprise shuttle pilot in TNG’s “Manhunt“.
• In this, Neelix sings a Klingon drinking song that I’m 100% sure I’ve heard sung on Deep Space Nine somewhere, but I can’t place it as I was watching this one.
