- The second of eight episodes directed by TNG’s Jonathan Frakes.
- It is stated that Saru can speak 90 languages.

- The first of four appearances by Bahia Watson as May Ahern.
- I believe this is the first time Star Trek was actually “in” the Beta quadrant?
- A radio sound effect heard in this episode sounded identical to one we heard on the original series many times when someone was trying to tune in something.
