Notes

• The first and only writing credit Joe Menosky had on Star Trek Discovery. The last one before this was 2000’s “Unimatrix Zero, Part II“.  This was his final writing credit for any incarnation of Star Trek.  In all he wrote 16 episodes of TNG, 4 of DS9, & 36 of Voyager as well.
• Spock’s mother Amanda Grayson appears here, now played by Mia Kirshner.  She would reprise the role in 8 other episodes (one on Strange New Worlds, the rest on Discovery).
• The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) is mentioned here.
• The first appearance of the “Disco” T-Shirts the crew wears.  I always thought this was similar to the NX-01 baseball cap that popped up a few times on Enterprise.
